Easier fix!! Hey guys, just reviving this older thread. I wanted to first thank tejasrunner01 for the thread, because the safety pins in these older ignition mechanisms does indeed get stuck in the out position. That’s why mine was all fawked up. What I wanted to add, however, is that the...

URD 2.2 Pulley, & pulling timing Anybody on here noticed that the URD 2.2 pulley makes the engine pull timing and lose power under full throttle applications? I have the URD 7th injector kit installed, and was SUPER happy with the whole system for over a year. I have a 93Runner, and did a 3.4...

Anybody on here noticed that the URD 2.2 pulley makes the engine pull timing and lose power under full throttle applications? I have the 7th injector kit installed, and was SUPER happy with the whole system for over a year. I recently threw on the 2.2 pulley, and re-tuned my piggyback...

Can you post photos of your Blazeland setup once it's all installed? And what have you decided to do about your steering system? I'm getting darn close to pulling the trigger on LT setup. Can you let us know how the truck handles on-road as well as off? I'm curious about how these long arm...

I agree!! The number of mostly stock 1st and 2nd gens that are really, really clean like this is seriously limited. Keep this one pretty, and find one that's beat to shit for the trail!

Okay you've officially motivated me to long travel my 2nd gen!! Holy shit, this thing is RAAAAAD!! I understand the front end modifications with the Total Chaos kit rather completely, however, I'm still figuring out what needs to happen to the rear end... Mind if I ask a few questions? 1) So...

I have found that the A340h transmissions are extremely easy to come by, and most are dirt cheap. Doing a replacement tranny may in fact be a far, far less time consuming project than dismantling what you have to problem solve the issue. In fact, I have one sitting at my house that is in...

Hey I'm super curious to learn what you had to do to brace the D-pillar in order to get your tire swing out to work? Do you have any pictures of what you did behind the sheet metal? I want to do this on my 2nd gen, but I'm not sure what kind of support structure to create behind the brackets...

I did not replace any of the engine internals. My mechanic friends and I took a hard look at all of the engine components, and it looked super clean inside. Part of that is that the engine only has about 40-50K miles on it, as it was imported from Japan. In terms of horsepower and torque...

Its been a long time coming, but here's my project... Purchased this gorgeous Black Widow back in January 16: 1993 2nd gen with 179K miles, automatic, basically kept in the garage, or driven on the freeway for 23 years. I definitely paid too much for this truck knowing that I was going...

SUPER pretty Runner!!

So pretty much, the 2nd Gen 4runners are the TITS! :girl: The only thing really holding them back is the reputation of the 3VZ-E. Well, that is pretty easily figured out with a 3.4 conversion! I will argue that the 2nd gen can actually be a better platform to build off than the 3rd gens because...

Hey everybody, Does anybody on here know of a good rear control arm bracket skid? There are some excellent options for the 3rd gen Runners, but I can't seem to find anything similar for the 2nd gen 4Runners. I have a really nice and clean 93 that's been 3.4 swapped, supercharged, 7th...

WOAH!!! This is a FANTASTIC 2nd gen build!! Only thing I'd say, is this puppy needs a Supercharged 3.4 auto conversion ;-) Incredible fab work man. Freaking beautiful!!

An argument for the 2nd gen 4Runner Assuming this thread is referring to fully stock vehicles... When I threw a Supercharged, 7th injected JDM 3.4, with a new A340f and gear-driven T-case into my 2nd gen, I was doing 0-60mph in about 6.5 seconds. I never had the chance to throw a locker in it...
