Swapped grills and brush guards thanks to Vmax540! Also did a little snow wheeling with kawasakilewis

For what it's worth, I bought this as a work truck. The truck is in much worse shape then you can tell from the pictures, I am trying to restore it now (originally was just going to buy another same model year but I've put too much into this now to just junk it), though it'll be expensive (frame is almost dead from rust). I managed to snag this with the original sales receipt and original owners manual. I'll take some more picks when I get a new camera.

first post so I hope I am doing this right here is my 89 the day I got it over 400K MI on the 3.0 V6 and no rust all stock but I have plans to change when I get home.

How do the BFGs KM2s handle in the snow? they have no siping and are definitely not snow rated...

annnnnd a couple pictures of the terrible winter weather we've been having here:




this is what happens when I find my legos in storage...

Just some updates on my rig.
No cut zuk mod with cherokee springs cut down to 14 inches, 2nd gen 4runner steering wheel update, also i put in my tacoma center console. I rebuilt a set of manual hubs that I got for $20! If all goes according to plan, I'll be soon ordering some Bilstein shocks, 1.5" ball joint spacers, a 2 or 3 inch body lift, 16x10 Raceline Renegade wheels, and some 285 BFG all terrains. My valve cover gasket and my power steering pump both started leaking so I'm going to have to take money out of my "fun things fund" to do some maintenance, but other than that, this truck gives me no problems. I drive it everyday and everyday it cranks on the first try! Oh what a feeling!!
Here are some pics

ehh on the road, if you aren't stupid i think they do fine. As for snow wheeling, i feel my buddies truck on trxus MT's did better at about the same air pressure. I should have aired down to like 15 psi but i didn't. i had problems braking on frozen ground and spinning out pretty easily. The deeper stuff they do okay in.

Nice sliders, nieb.. you should post more pics of how you welded them to the frame. I want to make some soon

Thanks, I snapped some quick pictures of my frame, I can get clearer photos this weekend (and clean up the frame a bit ha ha).

I just popped the SD card from my shop camera in the computer, and found this photo from last year. I love the stance of both 4Runners here.

ManLen

Ya it's stock, trcuks with the IFS came with them

janagyjr

IFS? If you'd like, you can PM me so we don't 'jack this thread.

Stupid road salt. I hate Maryland.

rattlewagon

Yup. They started spraying brine up here. Its a heavily diluted salt water. Gets EVERYWHERE.

IFS is independent front suspension. All trucks/4runners from 86-95 came with that skid.

Thanks, I got the PM'd reply the other day. I'm learning a lot about my truck. (:
