    1st Gen 4runner Roof Rack Lights

    Instead of drilling any holes, I removed the plastic trim piece that says 4Runner on it, and gained access to the cab through there. No drilling no problems! Pics don't show, but after I was done routing wires, I used some split loom over all the wires. If you mount your lights a little...

    Leave the bed or flat bed?

    617 is a legendary motor. Make sure you post plenty of pics and details when you do it. I know there are a few of us who'd be more than a little interested!:drool:

    Leave the bed or flat bed?

    If it were me I'd leave the bed alone. It doesn't look like it's in too bad of shape from the pics you posted. That said if I WERE going with a flatbed I'd go with something like this... Nice and light with a lot of functionality. Gotta ask what benz motor are you going with? I keep...

    Buying an Old 4Runner or Landcruiser for Noob

    another thing I would add to the opinions is for overland the SFA isn't the holy grail. if you're rockcrawling it's a must, but for Overlanding? How much more often are you traversing backroads with long miles of washboards vs crawling over rocks where the IFS is far superior? IMO for most of us...

    Buying an Old 4Runner or Landcruiser for Noob

    I would recommend either an 80's 4runner with the 2.4l or 1996-2002 4runner with the 3.4l. 80's 4R easy to work on. (mostly) cheap parts with many aftermarket vendors. decent MPG. Very robust. Good longevity, even pushing past 200k. Also can be used as a truck if needed. 1996-2002 4R. 3.4l...

    1st Generation Toyota 4Runner's.....

    I can relate. There is just something about these first gen's that stick with you. My cousin first got me hooked with his '85 pickup. He's had some nice cars come and go but I'm pretty sure he'll be buried in his truck.

    1st Generation Toyota 4Runner's.....

    IIRC it sits around 32-3300 at about 65mph. I haven't had time to drive it in quite a while. I know there are some online calculators that will tell you pretty close to. I believe there is one on the 4crawler site. LaOutback it was a shame to see you sell yours it was in good shape! I don't...

    1st Generation Toyota 4Runner's.....

    I bought my set from Safari LTD in grand junction. But you can also get them from Kurt (cruiser outfitter) here on the board. I would have bought mine from him but I was under a time crunch when I did my lift, and kurt didn't have them in stock. As far as the performance of the 4R, it actually...

    1st Generation Toyota 4Runner's.....

    They are a great upgrade. I'm running the mediums F/R and the only (minor) issue I have is when I'm all loaded up with the trailer the truck squats pretty good. So I'm planning on throwing and AAL in there at some point. But overall I would highly recommend OME.

    dust control

    See if you can determine where it's coming in from. top, bottom, or sides. That will tell you where you should start looking. I know I'm missing the bottom seal that goes between the gate to the bed and I get some dust in through there.

    Help me decide on Tacoma wheels

    I've done the tundra brake upgrade on my tacoma as well, and I'm currently running 235s on the stock 16" 5 spoke wheels. No lift. My tires only barely rub the fender at full lock and under compression. It hasn't ever been bad enough to worry about trimming. I've heard not all stock toyota wheels...
