Starting issues I've had the starting issue since 1986 when purchased new, and tried all recommendations from this site, the fix I thought best was the solenoid relay wired to the starter and battery, but the problem occurred again. There's a wire on the positive battery terminal that goes to...

When you change bumpers I'm interested in the Smittybuilt, mine is 20yrs old and rusted through. Contact the gman in VA.

Motor Go on Craigs list Fredericksburg VA I saw it this week a new 2.2 motor not rebuilt, crate motor new with photo.

starter issue My 86 5 spd 4 runner has a similar or the same problem. I've determined that it's not the starter or battery. I think it's the starter relay not giving enough juice to engage the bendix on the starter because if I put the truck in gear and roll slightly and pop the clutch for a...

Tire Size I've been running 31's on my 86 runner for years, yes you lose power especially at uphill highway speeds and suffer in he mileage dept. But I put Rancho heavy duty tortion bars to raise the front 1- 1/2"(keeping the adjustment at center) and Northwest soft ride springs in the rear...

A/C switch Did you try and turn the fan on with the switch on ?

Safety switch It's a nice convenience to have when you are working on your truck, you don't have to go in and out and depress the clutch to start up, just reach in the window push the button and crank her.

Mastercraft Courser c/t I've used BFG AT and had General AT2's. The generals performed better than the BFG in NY snow conditions but now I run The Mastercraft(made by Cooper Tire Corp.) they hum a little more than BFG but they're much better than the others. I don't know if they will last as...

seat parts Do you have the cable that allows the right front seat to slide foward to allow rear passsenger access.? if so how much. Thanks

starter replacement It's a simple job,remove right tire and remove fender well plate.Remove neg. terminal at battery,remove wire to starter and snap in plug terminal on starter and remove bolts and replace. My 86 has a starter relay under the hood on the right front fender, battery side that...

I'm looking for a starter relay for my 86 4 runner. I'm tired of the intermittant no start issue. I don't know if this is the problem, I've checked all grounds and they appear ok. My starter relay clicks when I have this condition? Any help will be appreciated.

Back window solution When you removed your top one bolt is longer than the rest,the longer one belongs on the left side rear(2nd or 3rd from the back?) where the rear window sensor switch is located.that is a safety switch to prevent the rear window from operating with the top off. Mine is an...

Tailgate opener cables Sounds good, contact me at [email protected] with the information, if possible send a picture. Thanks, Mike

Same problem I've had this problem since my truck was new and still have it, 1986 deluxe 4 cyl. 4 runner.The starter relay just clicks but my battery voltage is fine, I hope someone has the cure because that relay is costly(if thats the cure) and it is intermittent and eventually it always ends...

Do it yourself Mine is a 4 cyl. and took me 2 days.The head doesn't have to be removed. There is a hidden bolt, it's on the head right in front of the cam sprocket, it will have a puddle of oil covering it .That's the one I had trouble finding as the timing cover cannot be removed unless it's...
