as an aside, i do know that this truck would never pass smog anyway, 1/4 million miles in dusty AZ have it eating a bit oil with its gas. just enough to see it in the right lighting. the truck is on the drive into the earth plan at this point. im hoping to see 300,000 miles :)

Thanks. i was more educated on emissions stuff 20 years ago, and im quickly coming to the conclusion i dont want to re learn, the effort isnt really gonna benifit me that much. but ive got to get these lines fixed, I decided to pull the whole box to clean out a pack rats handywork, and those...

i dont have a pic to upload at the moment, but can anyone tell me what are the two larger hoses are that come off the air cleaner housing(one on top, and the other off that silly chamber in the middle)? they both go to hard lines, cross the front and then go under the manifold. the big one...

That sucks. I guess we have better ups drivers out west. Brown Santa would never do me like that.

I think what he meant is that's more lift than 33s will need.

Bah.... Now you know how to do it. The other side will take a couple hours tops!

so, this thread was the nudge i needed to replace the bootless passenger side shaft on mine. Pulling the top ball joint was in fact bunches easier. i trashed my swaybar too. the rubber bits were nearly gone, and it seems to work almost as well laying ovr there in the junk pile as it did on the...

I quit Midas in 1997, but I'm 100% sure I never messed with a torsion bar to do cv's. I believe that would just be an opportunity for more to go wrong on a rig that is probably rusted together. Beer, sleep, hammer. That'd be my bet.

How big is your hammer? And do you have a good steel drift punch to really pop the side of the part that the 4 bolts came out of? Or an air hammer(meaning an air chisel with a blunt tip. Failing that, heat?

What year is the truck, on a 94 there are 4 bolts that fix the ball joint to te lower arm. No need to break the joint if you don't need a new one.

WTF?!? Is up with the headlights on a 94 4runner? I mean, how much of the truck do I have to disassemble to put in a new bulb? They aren't burned out, just painfully dim, which gets me to the real question: Is there a reasonable upgrade that doesn't involve vast sums of money or aux lights?

thankyou muchly not sure how soon or even if ill do it. but that will help me decide.

Ok, I swear I searched. I'm hampered by only having a phone for the time being Can anyone direct me to a thread with a good detailed write up On how to put an elocker third into a 94 4runner, including the electronics? I fnd lots of referenes to doing it, but no specifics....

I hope I dont become a cautionary tale with this, but I went with 3 1 inch tubes under the tire. I kept thinking about 4, but looked at several tires half ass bolted into factory made racks of thin wall tubing and figure what the hell. when i take it on a trail run, Ill put a ratchet strap on...

Google 'jd fabrication Toyota' For$2k the will sell you a welding project. Nohair, a user here used it. With impressive results from what his pics show. Or Sell your truck and add the $2k to a 3rd gen budget and get a truck that's got what you want on it. Either way;)
