    No. However I think maybe some "turbo" stickers would look really cool on it.

    New member to the family. Picked it up this morning.
    "88" 4runner. 3.0, 5 spd, 4x4. All original with repaint and tires. Don't mind the fuscha stripes, gonna go back to some retro graphics in white or silver.

    $2800.
    I could have talked her down some. Gas gauge and speedometer dont work, but I can barely find a spot of rust on the truck anywhere.
    Drove it to work (35miles rnd trip) a few times and it seems to run pretty good. The 3.0 has plenty of power. As a matter of fact I think its the same hp as the taco. 150hp. But it pulls harder being a 5 speed.

    Looks like my sas on the taco is put off for the time being and back to dd duties. I can get an ifs eliminator kit and sas this for 1/3 the price I can for the taco.

    only real plans are to get those lavender stripes painted, I'm getting to much shit at work for them. lol.

    Washed the rims down really good and sprayed on some self etching primer. About 5 coats. Then another 5 of satin black.

    What size of KC lights are you running? I've got an AP bumper coming in and I'm looking for lights. Wanted to go IPF 968's, but they're listed as 7" lights and 6" in the max per AP's site.

    Yeah, that's what I figured. Got a set priced out, just waiting for the bumper and OME lift kit to arrive. Great job on the truck - do you have any inside pics of the rocker switch for your lights and the CB install? I'm kind of using your build as a template, so to speak.

    I'll try and get some later today. Nothing special. I put the switch in an empty access slot next to the 2 air conditioning vents on the center bezel. Worked out great. CB in the ashtray slot.

    Thx!!

    I'm guessing your reffering to an "e-locker"?
    The powertrax no slip that i installed is "full time". No button to push as the 4 cyls never came with the option of an e-locker.
    Works quite well. Also there is no "ratcheting, popping, or any noise issues with the powertrax no slip ccompare to other conventional "lunch box" type lockers.

    I have rocked it in several types of conditions.
    Mud, rocks, snow, gravel and daily street use. Works awesome with zero problems. Think i have close to 40k on it now.

    Its from lowes, not sure if its the slim. I didnt like it at first because of the angular cuts on the bottom. I really wanted it "squared" but couldnt find anyone that made one.
