Finished my 86 finally

[elimontfort]

I finally finished my 86 4runner. What turned into a simple brake job and suspension overhaul turned into a engine and drive line rebuild. Turned out the "new" engine that was installed was a cobbled together mess with a turbo block and a carb head.

The body is ok. Its got some surface rust on it. But mechanically its solid now. I'd drive it to cali and back with no problems now.

Great looking 4Runner. I like the child safety seat. It's one of my favorite "add-ons" for my 89.

lol.

i'm past the car seat days but i felt i had to install rear shoulder seat belts for when my soft top is on!

i didn't feel comfortable with my girls in the rear with the top "off" and only using lap belts.

OP, the runner looks good!

yes, i did!

i used a thread on YT.com a few years ago.

in that thread they referenced an online vendor and i ordered the same seat belt kit the PO did.

i did have to cut some of the seat belt material off and then resew/restitch the remaining material.

Who was the vendor, do you remember? I'd like to do the same but I don't trust junkyard safety belts.

post 13.

please read the entire post as you might find other info that could help you.

also, please remember that you may have to remove extra material to take out the slack when the seat belts retract.
