Hey guys,

My name is Robb and I've been into Toyota trucks since the early 90's.

My first truck was a 90 2wd with a 22r and front and rear antisway bars, it was alot of fun.

I bought an 86 4runner in 03 and a 90 extracab in 05, both 4wd. I gave the 2wd to my father in law I don't drive either truck offroad much.

I am ready to sell both of the 4wd trucks and build a 2wd extracab as a "protouring" style highway driver. I would eventually like to do a 3.4 Taco motor or a healthy 2.7, nice suspension and wheels and tires.

Now I just have to find a truck to build...

Welcome 2 the site!

 

Thanks for the welcome guys, I have found a truck to buy.

I am selling my 90 V6 extracab to a friend at work and I found this yesterday.

I am looking at a 92 extracab with a 22RE and an auto. I am not crazy about the auto but the truck is clean and drives well, it has 134,000 miles and the price is right.

Here is a link to the ad. http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/1097461416.html

I will post some pics when I get it.

That is a nice lookin truck!

 

Welcome.

You could always replace the tranny for a manual. Looks alright. Correction, better than alright. Was the "timing belt" a typo though? The Toyota R engines are chained, if it was the 3VZ, a timing belt would make sense.

I also enjoy the older 4Runners, (love the removable top) if I could afford more than one car, one of those, or the Back to the Future 4x4 would be my choice.

 

If I really dislike the auto I will swap it out for a 5 speed.

It has a new timing chain, all the work was done by a shop. The guy selling it doesn't know much about them. It has all service reciepts and also the original window sticker.

I am very familiar with these motors, I just did a new timing chain on the 4runner and a timing belt in the truck along with new radiators and water pumps.

I also have a 22RE longblock in the garage waiting to be rebuilt for the 4runner.

It has some flaws that I will need to deal with but that is part of the fun.

Future plans call for an EB 270 cam, TB/battery swap, 2 1/4" exhaust with a Magnaflow cat and muffler(can't do a header with the auto cause of the shifter), Mustang "Bullit" wheels, antisway bars with either Bilstien or KYB shocks and a nice stereo.

Let the games begin.

truck looks clean!

 

It sounds like you definetly know what you're doing. I take it you bought it?

 

ill tell ya how that 270 cam works out rebuilding my 22r this week

 

I have had Toyota trucks since 1994, my father in law still has my old 1990 singlecab.

I am hoping to talk him out of the oversize antisway bars I put on it.

I will try to find a pick of the 1990 singlecab, I drove it for 10 years before I bought my 4runner.

Here is a pic of the 4runner when I bought it.

now

I will pick up the new truck tomorrow morning.

I will be interested to hear how you like it. What other mods will your motor have?

Thanks
Robb

 

im also putting the over sized stainless valves that he sales in it rv springs and porting the head. true decking the block and boring it out .030 over i already have a Weber 32/36 on it and a header soon

 

I'm lovin' that 4Runner. Like you, I want a full Magnaflow setup. I've already got the catalytic converter because someone cut off my stock (see general discussion - cat thieves) and I am dying for a muffler. (sorry for the thread jack...) Your new truck is a beauty. Was it Toyota serviced or just regular shop?
