I pulled the trigger on a 1990 Toyota pickup. 22re, 5spd, reg cab/short box. 4x4, with newly packed wheel bearings, tie rod ends, brand new 31" AT's and a camo spray paint job for 1000 bucks. Truck has 131k miles on it, so it's barely broken in. Gotta replace the rear bumper and tailgate (rusted), get a nice little lift, weld me up some brush guards and give it either a satin black or something cool. I'll get some pics soon.

That's nuts. That truck would sell for $3500 all day long out here. People would buy that truck in shitty condition with a rod knock for $2500 out here.

my dad used to have a 95 cherokee 4.0
motor felt nice and tourqey and had nice low end power for smoking the tires. almost felt like my 5.0 in my thunderbird. im not sure how reliable they are, but i liked it.

Body isn't in the BEST condition. As I said, rusted tailgate/bumper, some rust on the doors too. Frame is clean, though, which is nice. I figure if I spend a bit of money into the body to make it last and service the motor/drivetrain as needed, she'll last a long while.

What's a good online vendor for goodies? I need more stuff to spend money on

If the doors rusted off and the tailgate wasn't even there, you would still get $3000 for it out here.

I see them sell for ~$5000 all the time. There was an 86 2wd with an auto tranny for sale for $4000. I'm sure he sold it too. 4runners sell for a bit more than that. Most of the 90ish 4 runners sell for $6000+ with a billion miles.

Well, I'll know where to go when I want to sell it

But... the 22re is reliable and gets decent mileage... but I need a more power on the highway and such. Should I bother with exhaust/intake, or should I just weld up a log manifold, throw a turbo, some injectors and an SMT6 on it and be done?

Toyotas pull good money. My buddy just sold a beat to ---- 82 with a lift and 33's for a grand.

Had a dead starter and no front driveline too

Dr.Boost

Intake and exhaust? We all know that leads to minimal power gains. You know what to do if you want some real power. Just remember, that's one of the best blocks to boost.

i advise looking at the ADD and revising it like off-road.com/toyota instructs you do to, automatic axle slider ---- gives problems.

on a 22re, your best bet is pretty much to keep it under 6k rpm's, they make max hp at 4800, nothing past 5500 cept rpm's and high rpm failure. stock ecu's will cope with 6-10lbs of boost, me and yuriy have both read this ourselves, and it's been somewhat proven. boosting is a pretty nice option, 194 cc injectors are stock. lol @ honda's 240's stock.

um

toysrme can add to this, hes the toyota expert here. oh fyi, find a nice locker for the rear, and some heavy duty torsion bars or invest into a solid axle swap. IFS is strong as ---- in those, but not the flex of a solid axle. 32" tires will clear stock, but anything more than any decent amount of flex into the bumpstops will have you looking at some rub.

prop valve mod, these things are a blessing and a fucktard at the same time. i highly suggest modding the prop valve as a first mod
