88 Runner build

Beautiful! I have an 89 that is the same blue color - love it!

Not sure if you replied to the question about the seats, they look so comfy! Do you know what they are out of?

Thanks man! Love this color too!
The front seats are Recaro seats from the 90s we found them in a beat up off road Van we had got for parts. I cleaned them up & made some brackets for em, super comfortable!

great looking 'Runner , do you see a SAS in your future ?

Yeah possibly, I've already got the 5.29 front axel that I need, but I'm trying to figure out if I want a sas or a ifs long travel.. I really like trailgear's three link they have for sas.. Accept I want coilovers because I use it as a DD. So I'm not 100% sold on what I wanna do.

Have you checked out 4wheel Underground? They have 3 link front and 4 link rear suspensions. They sell kits in different stages. They're more expensive, but from some of the testimonials, sounds like they're worth it. There's a guy on YotaTech that has their front 3 link and says they perform awesome Offroad and has very good on road handling as well. Here's a link:

i have a 4WU 3link front on my 87runner. Its amazing. does very well on the street and much better in the rocks. If you don't play in the rocks i would go Long travel, but if you see yourself on the tougher crawling trails AND playing in the desert, i think you could be very happy 4WU linked. Infinitely tunable.

I have a blazeland LT on my 89 and I love it - it drives like a dream on the streets, better than stock IFS and it can be used with coilovers, my 4Runner just hasn't evolved to that stage yet. The next suspension upgrade is going to be something with the rear, most likely I'll install the Chevy 63's I've had for a few years now.
