anyone have an recommendation for good shop who would be open to doing a rebuild? thanks -Michael

might not be the best place to ask, but is there a more visited 1st gen 4runner forum that is out there? i find it hard to find any info here via the search

Thanks for the technique, ill give that a shot. I ordered some replacement hoses and honestly i was going to replace them all just for posterity. i already noticed that im missing a full line coming from the crank case. i also need to replace the timing chain guides, i read that it could jump...

hey all, i am rehabbing a 87 4runner and im running into a weird issue. Lately it feels like the truck has about half its normal power. I live on the top of a hill and i can barely get up it these days. some history... i purchased the truck from someone who didnt keep the best care of it...

Yeah, the leafs are bent. I had to drop it off at the mechanic today to get moving on this. I have 30 days to get it street legal. Looks like there is a 4in body lift and the inverted shackles on the back end. I can ask them about the front diff. Thanks everyone for the help

rides a little bouncy, but not terrible. The rust looks pretty surface-y i bet they started to clean it up in the front and just stopped by the back. So the front doesnt have lift? it feels really high, im guessing once the back end is down the front will lower also?

here is a pic from the back side. let me know if you need anything specific.

Hey all, I just picked up a new to me 87. My plan is to make it a full time convertible, but one big hitch... it doesnt fit in my garage. I have an silly low garage, like 72 in tall. Other than not being able to take the top off, i cant really work on it until its in the garage ( no driveway...

Thanks! i emailed last night

Hey all, Im looking for a 1st gen in the LA area, has to be manual, softtop would be a plus. hoping to have something fun to drive and be practical with some weekend warrior home depot skills. Thanks! -Mike
