Well, unfortunately for us up here in the great white north, suspension lifts of any kind aren't that cheap! The cheapest Pro-comp kit that I could find when I lifted my 88 extra cab was $2500.00. By the time I added a good set of rear springs to replace the blocks and tires, the total wound up...

You need to do some more research....start with some Toyota specific companies such as AllPro Offroad, Marlin Crawler, Trail Gear, etc... All of them have very reasonable and complete kits which will lift the front and rear of your rig. Stay away from junk like Pro-comp and others that...

sorry it took so long, here are the part #'s for the bushwacker fender flares: 84-89 Toyota 4Runner (extend a fender-1 1/2" tire coverage) Set Part # 31904-01 Download Instruction Sheet Key Points Adds additional coverage, great for large wheel and tire packages 100% UV protection...

They only make the pocket style ones that have the cool looking bolts for domestic trucks as far as I know. I have a catalog here somewhere with all of the part #s I picked up while at SEMA last year. I'll see if I can find the part #'s for the first and second gens and post them on here this...

Just my opinion, but anybody that says the body could rip off the mounts doesn't know what they are talking about. The mounts are in the exact same location, just spaced out. One could argue that the shear strength is different, but with the number of mounts and the weight of the body, it will...

You need to move the same things whether you do 2" or 3". The rad has to be moved but the correct brackets should be in your kit. The brake lines need to be unbolted from the firewall and moved also. There is usually enough extra line coiled up between the body and frame, you just need to be...

No, probably not from the exhaust. One other thing that I thought of is the charcoal cannister under the hood (looks like a coffee can with a couple of hoses going into it). It is meant to filter out fumes from the fuel tank. Check that it is still connected. Maybe it needs to be replaced...

Yes it's my rig. It's an 87 Turbo on an 85 chassis and a few other mods. Thanks for the compliment. I do make the soft tops also.

You could go with the Bushwacker cut-out style also. They provide quite alot better coverage and don't require any cutting either despite the name. Any aftermarket flares are going to be pricey, though.

I would say it is most likely a valet switch for either an alarm or remote starter. You should be able to trace the wires under the dash panel to a small black box that doesn't look like it should belong there.

I would say that smelling gas is NOT normal and you should be a bit concerned. If you can smell it, that means fumes are present. The first thing I would check is your gas cap. It should maintain a certain amount of pressure in the tank. If you don't hear a slight hiss when you open the cap when...

4runner soft tops I do make soft tops and I am in Alberta. You can e-mail me at [email protected] or give me a call at (780) 991-6844. Thanks, Shawn:)

Kayline is no longer around unless you know something everyone else doesn't. Canback has been bought out by Bestop and are also not doing anything. They started at $1300. There's nothing overly special about it. I'm just trying to fill a void with a high quality new top that can be versatile...

Yes you can run at freeway speeds with sides off and the top section on. I might tend to be a little more careful in extreme crosswinds, though just to be on the safe side. I don't see any issues with making the sides out of screen except for the obvious in that there will be no weather...

clear nailpolish works good! And every woman should have some laying around which makes it cheap, too. Just paint over the chip and you're good to go.;):
