I'm going out there tomorrow. I guess a guy went to see it today and wants it but the owner didn't get a good feeling from him and told him that I'm ahead of him... he went to see it first but I called the guy first and told him if it looks as good in person, I want to buy it. |

What about money? You got that covered? Did you get the check? Its easiest to haggle on price if you can make a cash in hand offer.

The search is over. 1988 Toyota 4Runner v6 133,000 Very very clean... I turned the lock out hubs with 1 finger and thumb easily. |

I really want to lift it now but think I should wait till I decide if I can swing a solid axle swap. I think I'd have to wait till tax time next year before I could do the sas... or, I could probably buy all the lift stuff by end of this summer if I leave it IFS. or, I could go cheap and temp and get the Rough Country lift but that just seems like a waist of money. | |

Shocks do not effect ride height. Exception being air shocks. Don't get rc crap straight from my mind to tapatalk |

lol, R/C = good, rc = bad! I think an Old Man Emu 2" lift is in my future. So to fix the current sag, I need new leafs? or do I just leave it till I can afford the lift. |

All old 4runners suffer from a saggy ass. It won't hurt anything, just wait for the lift

Sag never hurt nobody! But, if you can't stand it.. Look into helper springs or small lift blocks & new u-bolts. Thats a cheap fix. $50-$150 ish

Check amazon for fabtech springs... seems messed up but was the cheapest place to get them. If you do some research you can lift way cheaper than buying a kit. straight from my mind to tapatalk |

I like it! I had it at the gtg yesterday... it's real clean. I gotta get used to the high cog though... was a little freaked out with the bouncy rear end on the expressway ramps. |
