V6 engine. 22RE doesn't have a left and right exhaust manifold nor a #5 or #6 cylinder.

engnbldr.com used to be able to get these...that was about 7 years ago though.

Upper and lower ball joints and control arm bushings along with new camber and caster bolts to replace the ones you may have to cut out. Not saying you need to replace them, but easy enough to check if you jack one wheel of the ground and push/pull on the wheel to see what all is moving around...

I burn them out with a butane/brazing torch. The oxy acetylene torch works too but a bit overkill. It gets really stinky but works pretty quick.

That's pretty slick, I like it. Looks like a quality job from the pics.

The whistle tips go Whooooo-Whooooooooooooo!

Trying to gain more power from the 22R series engines is a waste of time and money. Turboing one is very expensive and not very good for these engines in general. I would be looking for an engine swap or just accept that these motors are sort of weak but built to last.

Wow, those do look nice. At that price I would rather make my own from Teflon blocks.

I usually just get them from here 1985-1995 Toyota 4Runner Groan Stopper Bolt Cover - Steering - Genuine 85-95 4Runner Groan Stopper Bolt Cover - 7908-01066171 - PartsGeek

If it is only happening at full lock then yes, steering stops indeed. You can look at the stops and bolt heads and see that they have made contact, if so either grab some "groan stoppers" from partsgeek or smear some heavy grease on there to quiet it down.

I have both a 1st gen 4runner and a 1982 BJ60. The 60 series wagons are nothing short of awesome but are even worse as a DD than a heavy second gen with a 3 slow pushing it. The $ value of the 60 series wagons is skyrocketing, so what does it look like as an investment?

Fuel Filter?

Did you go for the 2.5" ball joint spacers? I have seen many bad looking angles with and without the 1" diff drop from the 2.5" spacers. Those things look like a time bomb to me. You should measure your CV axle angle and consider ditching the BJ spacers or adding more to the diff drop.

Horse stall mat (thick rubber mat, cut to fit) is pretty popular with the land cruiser crowd.

You should always measure full compression and droop from your shock pins. Once you have the measurements you can shop by length from referencing the charts on Bilsteins website. 5100's come in a wide variety of lengths.
