SAS’d 1995 4Runner

[mass-hole]

Just picked this up last night:

I was searching for a stick shift XJ Cherokee and went and looked at 3 of them, but they were all beat and just generally rough. I was not looking closely at 4Runners but then this one came up.

It is a 22RE motor with manual trans and has 5.29 axle gears, rear ARB air locker, roof rack and a few other goodies. The price was too good to pass up.

I am at 6500’ of elevation and the 22RE definitely struggles. Its pretty much maxed out at 70-72 mph on flat freeway and when i get to big hills its foot to the floor doing 50 mph.

Awesome! Congrats, she's a beaut! I had an '86 truck with the 22re when I lived in Colorado. Definitely a work horse 4 banger. I like the 2nd gen 4 runners. I was also looking at Cherokees but ultimately ended up with a 4th gen 4runner. Sadly, no a 4x tho. But, it's a great truck with plenty of capabilities for what I do with her. Enjoy your new Toy!

Looks pretty sweet. What size tires? 35's?

33x10.5’s at the moment. It could probably use some 35’s because its geared so low. It spins like 3800 rpm on the freeway.

Yeah, I would go with 35's with that gear. I had a 1990 pickup with 33" Truxxes MT's on it that I swapped 4.56 gears in and it was just about perfect.

What specific BF Goodrich tires are those? I am currently checking out 4wheelonline for mud tires that I might buy for my Ford Raptor.
