Just got this last weekend and it’s is honestly so damn fun. 1987 DLX 5spd with 160k miles. Interior needs work and there are a few small rust spots on the body, but it’s a sick running project.3yr ⋅ DevDawgg ⋅ r/4Runner_1stGen
The economy and reliability of the 2.4 Diesel is awesome. The fuel gauge never moves lol. But it is really slow for every day driving. So I have ordered a turbo manifold. Little bit of boost incoming !2yr ⋅ nylo12 ⋅ r/4Runner_1stGen

So I just figured out what these are. Does this mean you have to manually engage lockers every time you want to go in and out of 4wd on the first gens? I’ve never had a 4wd car before is this normal?1yr ⋅ tables9292 ⋅ r/4Runner_1stGen

Hi, im considering buying this 4 runner, it is a 1988 with the 3.0 V6 with 200k miles, Automatic, Independent Suspension, and the interior is very rough, Do you guys think it would be wise to buy it at 4,000$ to Daily drive?7mo ⋅ TrippyTheJew ⋅ r/4Runner_1stGen

Ok, here we go. I think I’m taking the plunge again. This will be my third 1st Gen. It’s going to be hard to throw 10k at this. The last 1st gen I bought was Sas and Twin sticked for 5k.2yr ⋅ Nibby-Nub ⋅ r/4Runner_1stGen

Best engine swap for power and gas mileage. I’m looking for diesel motors and stock drivetrain. But open to suggestions. This will be my daily driver. OM617, Cummins r2.8 or the VW? Pic for attention2yr ⋅ Nibby-Nub ⋅ r/4Runner_1stGen
I’ve heard the SR5 seats were comfortable but wow I had no idea. From base to these. Love the adjustable bolsters.2yr ⋅ [deleted] ⋅ r/4Runner_1stGen
My dad recently picked this up and it had wore out shocks and a sag in the rear. To fix it he installed OME shocks all around and added a leaf in the rear, but ride is now quite harsh. would it be better to swap shocks to Bilstein, or get new rear leaf packs without an added leaf to soften ride?3yr ⋅ Lost-Explorer ⋅ r/4Runner_1stGen

Well I finally got time to see where the leak was coming from. What would you do in this case? Drove the thing down from Utah to phx non stop and around town a few times with no problems. Time for a new transmission? Patch it somehow? Weld it? Trying to gauge my options.1yr ⋅ primofixated ⋅ r/4Runner_1stGen
