the wing vent windows have been leaking on '87 #2 since i bought it. i attempted to revive the rubber, which was a bit hard, by coating it with fluid film. i used q-tips to apply it to the inner seal areas, and rubbed it all over the exposed rubber portions. also applied the fluid film to the rubber gasket on the lower edge of the glass (between the stainless frame and the glass) inside and out.

supposed to rain a bit over the next few days, so maybe i'll find out if it restored the rubber enough to allow it to stop leaking. the fluid film looks to have been absorbed into the rubber microcracks, as it appears dry about two hours after application.

i also applied it to the upper door seal, as that was hard, too.

finally have rear hydraulic brakes working in #2. the parking brake has worked since purchase, but i discovered that the circuit brakes were not operating in the rear.

i “cracked” connectors along the tubing, and could get some fluid to flow from the LSPV bleeder, and a trickle from either wheel cylinder bleeder, but never could get the rear wheels to lock with just the hydraulics.

disconnected the LSPV arm from the differential and raised it to max height to no effect. lived with it for a while.

finally, disconnected the arm at the valve end, loosened the snap ring holding the rubber boot to the unit, and pulled the arm and boot down off of the LSPV. the pin that is raised and lowered by the arm was frozen in the “down” position, or minimum brake application mode. i used a drift and hammer to tap the pin upwards. then held it there and tested rear brake action. success! fully locked rear wheels upon brake pedal application.

sprayed the valve liberally with fluid film, and reinstalled the arm and boot. the boot is a f*cking terrible design; extremely difficult to correctly reseat it because of the snap ring and tight clearance with the LSPV body.

at least i have fully functional rear brakes now.

brakes have always worked on ‘87 #1.

update: the fluid film appears to have improved the function of the old rubber window seals. we’ve had about 15” of rain so far this month, and water no longer enters the cabin via the wing vents, running down the door panel trim, into the map pockets.

driving on the interstate a few days ago, the speedometer quit, along with the odometer. the cable broke, which was not a surprise; the surprise was how long it lasted.

when i bought it [the 4runner] in october of 2018, the cable had a sharp kink just after it exits the firewall. i was amazed it even worked, let alone kept working for almost three more years.

this is the bend angle:



close-up of the condition it was in for the whole time:



pulled a bit of the insulation away to show more of the break:




but, since i was near the dealership where i usually buy parts, i stopped in and ordered one. got it the next day:





installed it yesterday - speedo & odo back working again.

That's quite the kink! Did your speedo have any issues prior to it breaking? Mine bounces around a lot, I'm guessing that's just the way it is though..

it had a minor bounce, quite rhythmic, almost a clicking. but it basically held steady by what we can perceive (there was movement, but not noticeable while driving).

just got back from a one-week, 2100 mile trip to MI and back to NH. took ‘87 4r #2 (white) with the rebuilt engine and new Marlin Crawler transmission. i was able to pull more hills in 5th than red #1 does.

having working cruise control was nice too. it worked fine from binghamton, ny to MI, and back to binghamton, but wasn’t useful on the stretch between nh and binghamton, as there are too many steep hills for the 22re. i could manually drive and hold 5th on some of those stretches; the vacuum cannot pull the throttle fully open, but my foot can push the pedal to the floor.

i kept it at 67 to 70 for most of the western half, even where the limit is 75 mph in central & northern mi. odometer hit 250,000 miles near schenectady/troy on the return trip.

wing vent windows and the sunroof made the lack of a/c tolerable. averaged almost exactly 23 mpg for the trip. not bad with three adults & gear.

part of the visit in northwest MI:

23 MPG is good! My max is 21MPG on highway.
I also try to stay under 70MPH becoz the 22RE roars to loud. Lol!

If you want us to help from afar please let us see, hear, feel what you're dealing with.
A picture paints a thousand words.
Toyota components are bullet-proof. Issues often arise from poor wiring, assembly and/or maintenance. Suspect those first.
Next only to our senses, the multi-meter is the most important electrical diagnostic tool. Spend $6 at Harbor Freight or $$$ blindly replacing parts.

yeah, i'm happy with that. i've had a few tanks avg at just above 24 mpg, where most of my driving was running at between 45 and 55mph for the tank (around 350 miles before fill-up).

best i've done in the red 4r is 21 to 22 mpg. never 24, don't recall 23. and i'm often in 17 to 19 territory. but, it is reliable, and i've driven it across the country and back. for comparison, my two volvo 240s at best push 25 mpg.

when swapping on the 32x11.5 wheels/tires, noticed that the passenger side outer tie rod end was loose (failing, the nut was still tight). ordered a replacement, and installed it the other day. having the pitman arm/tie rod puller makes it a breeze.



took care of the slight wobble, which wasn't noticeable when driving, but could be felt and seen when gripping the tire with it raised with a floor jack.

#2 was a NC vehicle up until i bought it in 2018. as such, some of the interior plastic trim was a bit brittle, but complete. the panels on the B-pillar were a good example - not bad, but some minor cracks and tiny pieces broken off.

i removed them a few days ago.



note the upper corners



to replace them, i used the better panels from my '88 parts runner. no breaks or cracks, and nice flush/tight fit.

driver side


passenger side
