I setup my winch almost identical to yours. Except I built the mount. I strongly suggest that you reinforce the frame behind the mount. FROR makes a kit for $40 or so that is well worth the money...

Towing with a smaller vehicle is much safer if your trailer is equiped with good brakes. Pulling power is second to stopping. I've towed 5000lbs or more with my 85 4Runner several times but wouldn't dare without trailer brakes.

I have 9000 lbs superwinch mounted to the front on my 85 4Runner with a homemade mount similar to trail gears winch mount. Was at the river and some dumb kid in a stock frontier found the deepest mud hole around to go through. After explaining to him how stupid he was for attemping anything like...

I ve been wanting to this this on my 85. What slides did you use?

Get a gallon of miratic acid and a pound of baking soda. Put gravel in the tank with the acid. shake (a lot). empty and rinse. add the baking soda and some water and rinse again. Dry the inside with a hair dryer.

Im getting 17 city and 20 hwy after a lot of work adjusting TPS, timing, new plugs, plug wires and 2 1/4 exaust.

I have hauled plywood in the back of my 85 4Runner before however it is a pain and you can only fit 2 or 3 sheets depending on what size (1/2,3/4). I use a trailer for all of the material hauling I need. Mine does surprisingly well with a trailer. A lot of people say that towing with a 22re is...

Ordered the seats today! Will have an update soon.

Here is a write up of a MR2 alternator swap. http://www.off-road.com/trucks4x4/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=186492

I'm very intersted in knowing if this is a common issue. Has anyone else had this happen?
