I had the same problem. I took the metal guide off. There's a small gap between the rollers and arms that lift the window. I set the window in that gap and it worked fine until i was able to track down a 4runner part out on craigslist with a good rear window/guide.

I always come to a full stop when messing with the transfer case. I know some vehicles say it's fine to shift on the fly at certain speeds but it feels like there must be some additional wear vs shifting at a stopped position. I suppose there are times when you may need to engage 4wd while...

My 9 year old asked the very same question. Excess drama. Still, i do enjoy the show. I wish the 1st gen would just get eliminated already. It's so frustrating watching them come in last every day.

I recently had some overheating issues. Replaced the thermostat but didn't seem to help. Had a leaky timing chain cover so while pulling that off i decided to go ahead and replace the water pump and the fan clutch. Haven't had any overheating issues since. While i was removing the belt...

I spent some time going through the engine and it turns out the Y pipe has two cracks in it. The sound i'm hearing doesn't really sound like it's coming from the exhaust crack. Can exhaust issues cause echoing or misdirection of sound in some way? I've had a nasty timing cover oil leak for...

I've noticed a knock sound from my engine. I was wondering if anyone had ideas on what it might be. It's been making the noise for a while. Isn't really noticable on the highway. Mostly hear it during city driving. Thought it might be the timing chain but i looked and the guides are not...

I'm not sure what path you are taking to CO but im just north of STL MO. If you are taking 70 west you'll pass right by me and there a few things from your craigslist ad that i would be interested in. I'd be interested in the driver side topper window and passender taillight. Possibly the...

Thanks. I'm waiting on a picture of the door jam plate to view the codes and figure out the actual gearing. Maybe i'll get lucky and it will be the same.

I've stumbled upon a factory e-locker from a 96 4runner that I'm thinking of retrofitting into my 85 4runner. THe 96 is an automatic which if I believe means it has 4.30 gear ratio. My 85 is 4.10 ratio. I'm a novice here so bear with me. Can i just change out the ring and pinion from my...

just wanted to wrap up this thread. I ended up replacing my u joints and that seems to have cured my issue. Thanks for the suggestion.

Sorry for the delayed response. Been a hectic week. Thank you very much for your suggestions. I read several posts talking about people torquing the nut to 90 ftlbs so i figured 50 should be safe. How do you recommend I torque the nut? Most reading i have done suggests figuring out the...

I've got an 85 4runner with the 2.5" OME lift installed. I'm noticing a disturbing "thud" when taking off from a stop as well as when shifting into 2nd. I had the wife drive back and forth in a parking lot and noticed the rear differential appears to jerk upward slightly when abrupt clutch...

What roof rack is on the truck? It's really slick looking.

Picked up an '85 a couple months back. Completely stock except OME lift i just installed. At some point i'll probably get 33s and regear but that's probably over a year away. If I get a spartan locker for the rear now, will I be able to use the same locker when i regear in the future...
