1991 4Runner with 89K. Our 'runner is pretty stock, with Bridgestone

Name: El Manalo (manalo@platinum.com)
Location: Elmwood Park, Illinois (near Chicago)
Info about Truck:
1996 SR5 V6 4Runner -
Fully welded Manik Grill and Brush Guard, Hella 4000 Halogen lights with
130W bulbs/Eurobeam pattern with European Daytime Running Lamp
option, Hella 550FF foglights. Front turn signals have been modified to
use 1157 lights instead of 1156 so that they glow when parking lamps
are on and blink when a turn signal is used. Toyota Wind
deflector. Smittybuilt side nerf bars - drilled the brackets, added aluminum
stripts to hold heavy rubber mats on the side to give me a 'running board'
type of protection so road gunk does not spray up on the sides. I used a
ball and slightly longer than usual hitch on the back to discourage
tailgaters. Husky front and rear mats and a weathertech cargo mat.
Performance products seat covers. Uniden CB/Weather radio. Factory CD player/6speaker radio.
Window tints around the rear windows. I'll be doing suspension lifts in
the future (need to learn from the veterans what's good and what's not).
My friends have nicknamed this El's urban assault vehicle. :)
OTHER VEHICLE:
1977 Celica GT Coupe 5Speed - Elmwood Park, Illinois near Chicago
18RG Engine, DOHC, 10:1 compression - we chose this because it's the
highest compressin you can use while still being able to use just 93
octane 'premium' gas, dual 44mm sidedraft Mikuni carbs, oil cooler,
oversized radiator, it uses a 1980 Pickup truck 20R 4 wheel drive clutch
and pressure plate for the extra horsepower and torque the engine
creates, 1978 Celica Cluth Bearings - both pilot and throwout, stock
flywheel, supsension modified for roadracing - Bilstein shocks,
Suspensin Techniques sway bars and springs). My car originally had the
good old RELIABLE 20R. Added a front air dam/rear spoiler, Formuling
13" steering wheel, Formuling bucket racing seat, Simpson 5 point
harness, battery mounted in the back for better balance.

Stock drivetrain outside of the Jacobs wires and Platinum plugs. Looking
forward to more mods in the future (exhaust? chip? K&N?). 32x11.5x15
BFG All-Terrain T/A's on American Racing Wheels, with about a 1.25"
T-Bar crank in the front and Performance Products Progressive springs in
the rear. Hella 550's (in the garage currently) will go in the lower grill
soon. I hadn't heard about the diff breather issue when that pic above was
taken... might be a good time to take a look at that, eh? Great truck on and
off road - looking to make a little more power though. Any success stories
would be great.
