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?

And the winner is..... Tires! Had a small bulge on the inside of the front drivers side tire. So small you couldn't feel it. The bright side is, I get to buy new tires!

That seems like alot for exhaust to me. I had the same thing done on my 85 for $250, but i'm in SC.

It's primarily in the steering wheel, but depending on how fast I'm going, the whole truck will shake. It still has stock steering.

I didn't think about the drums. Everything else seems ok.

I have a fairly serious wabble when braking. It only occurs when slightly turning left and breaking at speeds above 35 mph. I've had the rotors turned and the steering feels tight. Anyone experience anything like this? Thanks in advance for any help. -- Justin

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?

Same thing happened to me on my 85. Have your alternator tested. I had to replace mine. This has happened twice to me. First after a moderate water crossing and second at the car wash. I have researched this issue on the usual forums and found that most do not have this issue. I believe in my...

Well I'm going to get 2 of these and try it. Worst case, I'll take them back. :D Ill post up pics of the results. Thanks alot!

I would mount these rear facing. I have also looked into using a roll and tumble jeep seat. These caught my attention because of thier construction and price. Side facing seats in the back of a 4Runner aren't really an option because of the wheel wells and roll bar. I would mount these so the...

i've been doing quite a bit of research on adding additional seats in the cargo area of my 4runner. Found these. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_457_457 Anyone ever though about using them? Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.
