I am looking into purchasing a first gen 4 runner for a second vehicle. I want to lift it and make it trail cabable but still be able to drive it on the road 20 miles each way to work. I do not do extreme wheeling so the IFS does not scare me. I want to run ~33's with a rear locker and I understand that to do it on an ifs vehicle I could add a leaf in the rear and install spacers in the front I would also consider adding a 1-2" body lift. Should I forget about a 86 or newer runner and concentrate on a solid axle or would I be better off with the newer (86-89) runner? I like the removable tops of these vehicles as well as their trail capability. I am just looking for some opinions or suggestions from others who have contemplated this and also what kind of lift setup you think would be best.
