    Came with 3inch body lift
    So I have an 89 4runner with a 22re..
    A couple things:
    1. It used stall out after it got warmed up, when I pushed the clutch in @ stop lights. It's not running anymore. I bought it w/ 374k and don't know if it's the original engine.
    The body is near mint and undercoating inside and out. Originally a FL 4runner, I bought it in MO. Only 2 small rust spots on rear rocker panels w/ small holes. Frame....0 rust....all there.

    2. When it starts now it just clicks. The lights work, horn, rear sliding window up and down.

    I ordered a fuel pump from quantum 340LPH(want better flow). Don't try and talk me out of it lol....DENSO II KNOW...RME!

    So I need to get it on the road. I live Texas...land of no rust.

    So thanks for the help.

    One-at-this-price stripper. Bought new 34 yrs ago, a $13K leftover. Added Detroit TruTrac, 1”rear spring spacer and “pinstripes”… Factory AC kit and roof rack bought at dealer cost at time of purchase, still blows ice cold 32yrs later. 2022 AG ORP all stock.
    I know on my 90 it is due for starter brushes very soon……maybe that?

    I’d start with a new fuel filter. Charge up the battery. Clean battery connections. If you can hear the starter click it may not be getting enough juice.
