thanks. it ends up the threads weren't as badly damaged as i had initially feared. I was able to get a fine jewelers file and clean the threads back out and it threaded back in. Thanks

So i made the mistake of trusting the herbs at Walmart with my 4runner. I needed it done and i didn't have time to do it, so i went to walmart. well four months later, i am changing my oil and the bolt comes right out, but it won't go back in. It acts like its tighting and then it hits this...

Just do it Just do it. See what happens. I personally asked a local cop who said that as long as you have some sort of restraint,i.e. safety belts your golden. You should look into getting bar doors. Those are legal.

Herculiner Herculiner works awesome! I decided to do it in my 88 runner, from the front to rear. It worked really good. Looks really good too. It even works despite the fact that it rained in between the first coat and second. I needed one of the gallon things and then a quart one too. But it...

I'm looking for the passenger side upper dash panel off an 88 runner. I think toyota calls if the safety pad. Grey would be best. I've checked ebay and google but haven't found one recently. If anyone has one they want to part with please let me know!

The buzzer has a switch inside the fender. If you take out the plastic piece by your feet just inside your door, you can access where the plug is. Just unplug it. Thats what I did. For the wiring, I think you have to cut the wiring and then make your own harness. Not 100% on that, my runner...

Thanks for the replies. But could you clarify something for me. What do you mean when you say I'll lose top end speed. Will it be like I can't run 100 everywhere, or will i be hurting just running 55-70? What about with the lockers? What can I expect from those? Something like Aussie's or...

Drivablity with rear Locker I have an 88 4runner 4cycl/5spd combo. I'm looking at regearing the differentials for 33's and setting up lockers f/R. The plan is 4.88 gears with ARB air lockers in the front and Aussie Lockers in the rear. I'll be getting Aussies now and ARB's in a few months...

The 22re engine is awesome. I have over 227,000 miles on it and it still runs like a top. If you keep the maintence up, it will run forever. As for softtops. Can-back still makes ones. It's pretty expensive, but it's a pretty decent one too. Their website is www.can-back.com. Downey makes a...

I have 226,000 on mine. It's my daily driver/mud machine/trail machine/whatever and it runs like a top.I run all amsoil in it, the fully synthetic, and change it every 6,000 miles, sometimes sooner depending on how much i hit the mud. It's all in the maintence. My dad has an isuzu I-mark diesel...

You should be able to run them with a four inch lift, and maybe a little hacking around the fender. But you will deffently have to regear. 4.88 gearing might work, but I would keep going and get 5.29. The BF goodrich site has a great tire/gear ratio chart that you might want to look at. If i...

Thanks, After posting I went back out and looked at it again. I found the nut, I just had to get an adjustable wrench with a better bite to it to turn the nut. Thanks for your help!

Thanks a lot, your reply was awesome I have another question. Where is this; "there is a "nut" at the base of the antenna that needs to be removed"? I found the one that bolted the antenna to the frame. But I looked all over inside the fender and i couldn't find anything that looked like a...

I have a 1988 4runner. I never use the am/fm radio in it, I just listen to Cd's. I's installing a cb into it and I want to replace the antenna for the radio with the antenna for the cb. I got into the Fender well unbolted and I got the antenna mount unbolted, but I couldn't get the antenna...

I have a 1988 4runner DLX. I'm putting in a roll-in bedliner into the whole thing, passenger and cargo area. My question is, when I took the carpet off the passenger area, I found this wierd black stuff stuck to the metal. It's like a kind of hard sound-proofing/lineX type stuff. Will this...
