its a shame that happened buddy because these guys are one of the cheapest companies around. my 2nd gen has had most of its replacement parts from there and there the same as anything you would buy at repco autobarn supercheap but a third the price. for example a SET of 4 glow glugs is 27.50...

thats a bloody nice truck! here in aus people ask 4000 and up for nice 4runners, to give you an example i just sold an unregistered 91 model in average condition for 3100. dunno what it is about them here but they demand a higher price!

i guess you can just tell by the way he's written it and when i say it out loud (im an aussie) it sounds like something i would say. dunno why it matters just picked up on it!

im gonna take a stab and say ur an aussie or kiwi by the way you've written that post. the USA boys (most of this forum) dont have luxies they have the equivelant tacoma and as for your question sorry mate wouldnt know. google is your friend, good luck!

theres not too many 1st gens but a few 2nd gens... i love the first gens, just classic lines. we dont have a 4runner specific aussie forum so i think thats why we all come here plus its good to see how other countries do things! once i get it registered i'm gonna extend my diff breathers and...

so ive installed the gearbox.... what a bas**** of a job :ybrick: but ive pulled a few boxes in my time so it wasnt tooo bad compared to some, still time consuming and dirty work, but the good news is on the test drive it drove like a little champion :hatsoff: all the paint is now done and for...

so ive decided i'm not gonna bang my head against a wall too much with this whole gearbox issue. i wanna get her on the road so a reconditioned box is being acquired this weekend and will be installed on one of my long weekends coming up. as for the paint its coming along nicely. ohhh and big...

so the new slave has made a small difference to the feel of the pedal. it is firmer and feels good but the prob with 1st still exists. third also seems much better but i think the next step is to remove and teardown the box for an inspection.

so as with any old car ive got some issues, 1st and 3rd gear are popping out and crunching badly when going in. i thought it was the shifter bush so i popped a new marlin crawler item in today and still no luck. ive been poking my head around underneath and found that the slave cylinder has a...

the rain has mostly held up today so i was able to get a nice coat of colour on... here is the finished primed and sanded area, i wiped the area down with turps before applying paint. ans this is 5 nice top coats applied i'll give this a chance to dry and then colour sand, clear coat and...

The first project is to tidy up the rough as guts paintwork. The previous owner has attempted to repair most of it but it still needs work so i sanded everything back with a 200grit paper, then wet sanded with a 800grit until smooth. then i wiped down with turps and applied a coat of rust kill...

Hey guys My name is Josh and this is my beast, 84 4runner, 2L 2.4 Diesel 5 speed. Already had a 2" lift fitted when i bought it other than that its basically stock. I'm in the process of tidying up the paintwork and fitting some accessories to make it a nice tough truck. So stay tuned and...

i got bored so i used MSpaint to add some stuff to my truck and tidy the paint up. its now got 31" muddies, snorkel, 48" (120cm) x 35" (90cm) roof cage with front wind deflector and 4 spotties mounted to the front and an 80" (200cm) long side mounted awning. i converted all the aussie figures...

you def want 84-85 for solid axle, but not 22r or 22re you want an aussie spec 2L 2.4l DIESEL. much better motor and better on fuel plus heaps of low end torque for chugging up hills ;):
