For future searches. Since top and doors were already off I lifted by upper door hinge mounts and rear seat belt center mounts. Gave me room to pull body AND set it down on trailer. Completely solo to boot. Had images but not allowed :(

Sorry, it's an Automatic....but while you're here. Is it: an A340F or A340H? Does that matter? What's it worth, complete with transfer case? Aisin-Warner 30-80LE is on the tag. Two oil pans on bottom. Thanks, S.

phattyduck, thanks for insights/confirmation. I was concerned about ECU's across those years...my goal is to find a same year donor (98') but not tons of these out there. If I end getting the 00' I could probably sell-buy/swap the 00' ecu for a 98' ecu...Just another wrinkle. The mechanical...

I've dug through this thread and all mentioned threads included here. I'm about to pursue a salvage 5sp Manual donor and want to confirm that ecu's will not be a total pain, or at least understand my worst case scenarios. Special thanks to: audiness, @Bad_Luck, phattyduck, Team_Jake and...

Bump. 4Runner4Leon has showed the ultimate oem solution, well done. I've taken the same path but one thing that wasn't addressed originally. Does the later switch have the same connector? Wires have to be lengthed for sure but if a new connector is needed any known source? Thanks, S.

1987 4Runner, Manul, SR5. I'm about to reframe this truck with a frame salvaged from an 87' Automatic 4Runner. I assume the frames are identical, but just a gut check before I send the Auto frame to paint. Also, the transmission crossmembers: Are they interchangeable as well with just the...

Finally got this all fabricated and welded in to frame. Attached pdf drawing for any future searches. S.

1987 4Runner I"m trying to fab one without much to go on, the one I have is pretty beat up. I"m looking for either: A. Straight member I can buy. or B. Straight member close enough I can come and get measurements (I'd have to remove/reinstall bumper) I'm in Jasper GA, just north of Atlanta...

Looking for a replacement power antenna, the entire unit not just mast. If you have personally seen or swapped a power antenna (from another vehicle or generic) into a 1st Gen 4Runner I'd love to know make/model/year or part number for that unit. I don't want a fixed or whip antenna. Thanks...

Unplugged electrical connector to cold start injector. Absolutely no change in behavior. Slow/Long cold start, quick warm/hot start. I'm guessing cold start injector is clogged/faulty/not working at all. Having a hard time sourcing one. Any suggestions? Thanks, S.

Ok, finally got video link up. Thanks, S.

Need some ideas. Parts truck and trying to get engine starting/running for a swap. Videos, with sound, pretty much tell the tale. Once running it's quiet and smooth, but cold start is lengthy. Cold Start and Warm Start Videos here. Thanks, S.

Only cut/flared one line, at the rear deleting the original load sensing prop valve. So far this is very easy to adjust.

Done! All went well and didn't have to cut/flare a single brake line. Complete 91' V6 OEM brakes from firewall to hub. Additional: Removed load sensing valve, new rear wheel bearings/seals, fresh diff fluid and Wilwood prop valve. Stops like it never did before. S.

I'm looking at pulling body off the frame. Most accessible place I can see for my lift/shop is the rocker pinch welds. I've got some full length oak beams I can support the entire length of each rocker pinch weld, then place lift pads under those. I can screw/bolt the lift arms and beams for...
