Curious to hear what muffler guys are running with an LCE header. Just had my 22re rebuilt and added the header and Flowmaster Super 44. It’s just a bit too much for my liking, but figured I could work my way quieter if needed. Was thinking about a Delta 40 or any other combos folks have had...

FINALLY getting back into my 4Runner restoration. My 85 just spent awhile at a shop getting the original 22re rebuilt, transmission rebuilt, short throw shift kit and new exhaust with LCE Headers. Just got it back and now waiting 3 months for my OME lift kit, rims and new tires. Some interior...

In search of a set of 1st gen 4Runner/Pick Up wheels. Looking for the 15x6 steelies with no holes. Condition isn’t a huge concerned as long as they are solid enough for me to blast and powder coat. I’m located in Cincinnati, OH 45044 Thanks!

Hey all, been awhile since I’ve been on here. Cool to see a lot of the same guys still active. I’m finally getting around to focusing some time/funds into my 85. Anyone know of a good shop around Cincinnati? Likely looking for someone to rebuild an engine and misc. mechanical items. First goal...

Truck is beautiful. Where did you find the clips for the sail panels? Been looking for those for awhile now. Thanks.

To each his own i suppose... agreed on the parts vehicles, but owning anything of value regardless of what it is that increases due to it's market draw or rarity (which these are slowly becoming) is typically considered positive. My angle is somewhat different than yours though which is what...

As an 85 owner, it's great to see the value of these increasing. Similar to comps for home sales, this selling at 15k is good for all of us 1st generation owners.

Ha. thanks Kid. Much appreciated. Will do! I'm jealous of how much you get to use yours appropriately with the beautiful area you live in. Also, the back bumper brackets from awhile back worked perfect. new bumper is on as well!

Okay, so I am in the process of servicing the knuckles on my 85 along with a couple other items. For reference of my skills, this is probably the most complicated project I have taken on, however the tear down went very well on the knuckles thanks to lots of prep and research which I have found...

Absolutely right. The ones I have now came out of another vehicle because of this same problem.

Thanks a lot, much appreciated.

Here is the filler and texture coating. The actual color coating is "SEM Color Coat". The filler is a two-part product... pricey, but feels really strong when complete. Spray the texture coating from 3-4' away with very light coats... take my word for it ;)

Personally, I don't have any experiences with the covers, however I recently repaired mine using a urethane filler, texture spray and SEM coating. What I lack in skills, I make up for with patience and I was very pleased with the results. In fact, I SEM coated every interior panel on my 85. My...

Great buy and welcome! I am just wrapping up a re-color of my interior and plan on doing a better write up when complete. I HIGHLY recommend SEM coatings. I cannot tell you how impressive the finish is if done correctly. The third image here is of a 29 year old shifter trim piece completed. My...

Yeah, that's a good example that the yours is a one-of-a-kind. So recognizable, when I saw it I said to myself that it must be a couple months old because it's two sets of rims ago with the white walls out and pre-bumpers.
