JnJ's 86 4Runner

[YotaGirl]

Well, here is the story on my (our) truck. My parents bought this truck brand new in 86. I was 8 years old and my brother was 4. We took some great family vacations in this truck. We even did some light wheeling in it. Both my brother and I learned how to drive a manual trans. with it, too! My parents kept it until my brother turned 16 at which point they gave it to him. For two years he used it as his daily driver and weekend off road toy. He was about ready to do some awesome mods to it when he was killed in a plane crash. My husband and I took it and planned to do the work my brother had always wanted to do. Fast forward 6 years and here we are. Here's the list of what we've done so far:

33X10.5 A/T tires
K&N Air Filter
Electric fan (broke and replaced with mechanical fan for turbo)
3 row radiator for turbo
Downey bumper and skid plate
Downey T-bars and 3" suspension lift
4X Innovations tube doors w/ QDs and custom cup holders! :thumbup:
Trail Gear sliders
Downey Bikini kit
ARB Air Lockers (F/R)
ARB Standard Compressor
5.29 diff gears
All Pro Offroad rear bumper
Fiberglass fenders to fix the previous trail carnage (bought from Cal Mini Truck)
Cobra CB

On order/yet to be installed:
Downey exhaust system


Next on the list:
35 M/T tires
Dual transfer case

Here are some pictures of it.
