My 4Runner Grew! Just had a complete OME suspension put on my 87, shocks, springs, torsion bars and steering stabilizer. I got 4 1/4" of lift in the rear and 1 1/2" in the front. It rides so much better now. The rear is a little high but I'm sure it will settle over time. If you go back a...

I installed OME leafs on my double cab tacoma about 5 years ago and they gave me 3" of lift over the stock TRD springs. I dont carry a lot of weight but they certainly have done their share of towing and weight bearing over the years and they have hardly sagged at all. I love them. Did the...

Wow!! That is an amazing truck. Here's my 87 turbo. It runs great but has the usual rust issues. I'm installing an OME suspension in the next few weeks to replace the worn out original one. I also have a chance to get one of the few remaining TJM bumpers left in country for this truck. I...

Okay so I'm in a position now to have the OME suspension put on. I can't decide between the Heavy Duty rear or the Medium duty rear. Who has experience with either that can comment on the the ride of the two? I dont plan on carrying a lot of weight permanently in the rear. It'll be loaded up...

Thanks. Yeah this one is loaded with everything except the sun roof. Power windows, locks, a/c, driver seat adjusts in about every direction, digital dash. I don't plan on getting crazy with it. OME suspension, 31" tires, soft topper for the summer and I think FJC Voodoo Blue. That should...

Yeah there is a lag but I just keep telling myself it's a 4Runner not a sports car. I love it. I'm getting 19-20 city and 23 hwy with stock 30x9.5 tires. Once I put an OME suspension on it I will probably go with 31" tires. I just can't believe how well it does here in Colorado blowing up...

Wow Ben you must be excited! You posted the sale before I could even do it!! I'm really sad to have to let this go but I am happy it is going to someone who will appreciate it as much as I did. Martyn and Mario will take great care of you if you ever have the need. Hopefully someday I'll be...

It was the last 2007 Chaser built. We took delivery in January 2008. It saw about 20 nights use the first summer and only 1 night this year. Unfortunately circumstances are going to limit our use for the foreseeable future. It has always been store in the garage and is in new condition...

It is actually an 1987. It was posted on craigslist as an 86.

Okay so over the summer I sent the truck to Irbis and it runs like a champ. I need to improve the suspension. I have an OME on my Tacoma so I was thinking of going that route for the 4Runner. Does anyone have any experience with an OME set up on a 1st Gen 4Runner? Also I definitely have to...

That looks awesome. I've got the same fading factory graphics on the 87 I just bought. How tough were they to get off and was the product shown in the picture the only thing you needed to use?

Congrats! I just bought an 87 turbo 4runner a few weeks ago. I had to leave the country only 7 days after buying it but will be back soon to start working on it. I can't wait to see some pics of yours. First it's off to Irbis Offroad for a complete go through on the mechanics then some body...

Thanks. Irbis is actually about 10 minutes from my house! I'll check them out. Let me know about the spare turbo. I may be interested in it if you don't want it any more.

Thanks guys. Does anyone in the Denver area know a good shop that has experience working on this motor and truck? I'd like to take it in some where and have it gone through end to end so I know where to start on bring it back to its complete former glory! It runs well but I'd like to have it...

Thanks. Yeah I can't believe how comfortable the front seats are. Especially the drivers seat. It's way more comfortable than my 03 Tacoma seat. The one thing I did find that does not seem to work is using the key to raise the rear window. It goes up and down with the front switch and goes...

Well I did it! I've never bought a used vehicle from a private party let alone a 1987 so I was a bit nervous. The truck ended up being an 87 not an 86 with 167k miles. I feel pretty good about the purchase though. I really know nothing about these trucks but I looked it over the best I...

Thanks for the input. I'm still thinking about the purchase. I got the green light from the wife but she may be waffling on that so I need to talk to her again. I'm leaning towards the turbo. It's got 168,000 miles and I was told the engine was replaced last year with another turbo that had...

1987 4Runner I am toying around at getting a first gen 4Runner. I've always wanted one but know nothing about them. It will remain stock and be used as a get around town and weekend fun truck. I do know I want a 4 cylinder and I have found 2 local trucks that appear to be in good condition...
