I think my auto hubs are broken but before I pull the plug on some manual hubs I thought I would get the boards opinion. I did a bunch of searching and this is what I narrowed it down to. I have a 1988 4runner with auto hubs. When it is up on jack stands and I shift into 4x4, the light comes...

Looking good, and a decent deal price wise. Nice to see another one here in MD, i almost never see any 1st gen runners around. I dont think i have ever seen another with the top off.

Picked up some gently used 31x10.5's, Pep Boys Definity Dakota Mud Terrains for super cheap on Ebay. They make the truck look so much better than the 29's.

Went to the local salvage yard and found some seatbelts out of a Hundai and headrests out of a Ford Escort for the rear seats. I also picked up a landcruiser bikini top and made it fit. Used an aluminum flat bar to fab the front attachment, and a piece of $5 conduit for the support bow...

Oh, one more thing. I warmed up the cans of primer and paint in a bucket with hot water before painting. I think it helped me lay the paint on much smoother since it was cool when I did it. You will get tiger stripes, but after a few coats and then wetsanding and rubbing compound they are not...

Rattle Can and Roll-on are two very differnt things. I did rattle can on mine and I think it came out pretty good. It took some time but not as much as roll-on would, and it was under $100. I used Rustolium Painters Touch. (Navajo White). Basic sanding, priming, sanding again after two...

Thanks. I am glad i have some pics of the 'before'. When I look at the truck and notice something that is not perfect, it is good to have a reminder of what it looked like before i started on it. And its a good feeling to know that i have put under $500 into it and have done all the work...

Thanks. It has the 22re.

I dont know that i can call this a build up yet, but i have been fixing this 4runner for the past 8 months or so off and on when i had the time. I bought it in February 2012 for $1000. The good: It ran strong, both engine and transmission seems to be in good shape. 22RE with 5 speed with...

I agree with Nevada, I would pass on this rig. I know how hard it is to be patient, but thats too much money. I waited and watched Craigslist for over a year but finally found a 88 with the 22RE (204,000 Miles) and a brand new clutch, radiator, and tires for a asking price of 1500. Talked him...

Just checked after work. Front headrests dont work for the back. Unless you have the back ones you are getting rid of.... thanks anyways.

I would love to have the headrests shipped to 20878. I need them for the back seats, but i think would fit. Please send me a PM if you still have them. Thanks!
