    I recently traded my 85 CJ7 crawler for a 98 limited. Loved the CJ but didn't work with a growing family, 2 seats comp cage fuel cell diy beadlocks ect. The 4runner is a lot more family friendly and I have owned a 87 T4R and 15 Trd Taco.

    The runner needs new front tires and will replace the spacer lift with either coil overs if im feeling ambitious or Bilstein 5100 type shocks. It's got a few other nicer parts, ARB bumpers and snorkel recent valve cover gaskets.

    Long term replacing the wheels with 3rd gen taco steelies and building some sliders and skids for it. I own a small design build style overland company doing small batch laser and CNC cut parts so this will turn into a shop/product development rig as well.
