    FS: 1984 4Runner SR5 4WD Black - $3900 ATL, GA

    Power door locks, nope. Power windows, nope. Airbags, nada. Navigation, nope. Push-button start...? not even. Non-smoker is the only pre-generated phrase that applies, ha! Just a fun rough and tumble 4WD truck with the venerable Toyota 22R. Solid axles front and rear for articulating over...

    Thoughts on a new transmission for 2nd Gen?

    Granted... it's much more expensive. But I splurged on a Marlin rebuilt with their short shifter when mine died. I've only got maybe 8kmiles on it so far, but it's absolutely great. Love the way it feels.

    Need a steering gear box

    I am ITP. Decatur. Is there a large following in the state? I dont do any wheeling or the like. I love driving, but I only do highway miles, and toying with selling her. I am not quite cut out for the wrenching she is starting to require. Did the master clutch cylinder in my driveway last...

    Need a steering gear box

    Mine has gotten obscenely sloppy. Having a hard time. Autozone, Advance, LCEngineering, no dice. I see some on ebay, but wary. Any ideas? My local tire shop found one at a supplier in CA for $750+shipping+his labor :( and I just dont want to dump a grand+. 84, stock height.

    New transmission/fluid. Spewing out breather valve???

    FYI. We drained the Valvoline, and refilled with some Coastal dad had, taking special care not to refill. Same thing. Now that break-in period has passed. Drained the dino crap, and filled with AMSOil GL4. All good.

    About had a heart attack at the stealership!

    Dad and subsequently myself, has always run the standard prestone green stuff in the '84.

    Shocks?

    Shocks won't help sag. Add-a-leaf. $ Or new pack of springs. $$$$ Rear ended up slightly high. It has settled since and sits perfect. Rear fender well supposed to be lower than front.

    Front spring replacement.

    Cant find OEM height. TruckSpring didn't really have stock. Was going to be a custom build with 6-8week lead time. I think Im gonna offer her for sale. Might suit someone who wants a lift more than me.

    new trim piece

    What does this mean? Fit the original pocket doors. If we have doors, they'll work. The picture makes it appear that area is solid on your new panels.

    Front spring replacement.

    I have a damaged front driver side spring, and maybe some other hardware, that needs replacing. I'm roughly stock height. Original springs all around, and an add-a-leaf in the rear to level it's sagging. With the springs being 29 years old... I figure I need to replace both fronts to be...
