We Just Finished The Full Restoration of an 1986 4Runner
FYI .. we just finished the complete and total restoration of an 1986 Toyota 4Runner (Gen 1) and we were able to find all of the parts we needed.
We also installed a brand new 22RE crate engine, did a platinum total rebuild of the trans and front transfer case and installed a new 4.88 locker rear diff.
We did a complete restoration of the interior (even got parts from Toyota in Japan) and we also restored all of the mechanicals on the truck, including the entire suspension including newer and much better rear leaf springs, all around new shocks, new front suspension components, SS exhaust, hubs, brakes (front & rear) wheels and tires, and of course, with ALL NEW parts.
We even installed brand new, REAL carbon-fiber fender flares.
In short, every single nut and bolt on this truck, (and every square inch of the truck) was disassembled, restored and re-assembled and of course we did all of the body work and new paint. For more information on the restore go to: 4RunnerRestoration.com (more pictures of the finished truck are coming - which will show the newly installed carbon-fiber fender flares.)
So to answer your concerns about parts availability, … yes they are available for the most part, and if you look hard enough you should be able to find everything you need for your Gen-1 4Runner.
Check out: 4RunnerRestoration.com for more info on our restore and we are in the process of updating the website (now that the truck is finished) over the coming weeks.
