Thanks Alright - it's my husband's truck - but I do all the cleaning and stuff. He bought it in '96 setup pretty much as is, but it was stock silver and still had door handles. He took it in one mud bog competition and won runner-up, then sent it in to be stripped and painted - also shaved the door handles. It hasn't been off-road or muddin' since. That was '97.
He had a motorcycle accident 1 month after he got it back from being painted and now has short-term memory loss (bummer), so he doesn't remember how to work on them (runners) nor does he trust his memory enough to even begin something with it. So it sat for 11 years - just driven back and forth in the summer - stored in the winter. Whatever he had planned for it died in the accident.
I'm trying to help him do a little bit with it (what I can manage)...new rims (had to get the backspacing right because it had spacers on it). A new polished aluminum dif cover - not easy because we didn't know the rearend (dana 60 apparently)...with Toyota brakes. He wants to replace the shock hoops because they look like hell. I'd like to set him up with tubular control arms but don't know where to look or what the consequences of that would be.
The truck used to have Downey stickers on it so I called them and sent pics of the front-end. The susp lift was identified as a 4" Trailmaster, a 3 or 4" body lift and the torsion bars are cranked (hence 2 degrees off camber on pass side).
Oh and the color is Subaru yellow. It's so bright that I can't get a detailed picture in the sunlight...it's like blinding. He was just out of high school when he bought it and the guys all wanted 4 runners and they were picking skittles colors for them. Everyone else has moved on and sold theirs (never painted) but Bumblebee is still here.
We have an '84 with a 350 bored 30 over in the back shed. It has a TH350 tranny newly rebuilt, never been run. The plan was to put this in the bee, but I think we've run out of time, as we don't know anyone who can do it. We may be looking to sell the '84.
Now that's probably a lot more than anyone needed to know. As for the fender flares...he said they are actually for the pickup? That at the time they didn't have them for the runners? We're looking at 12 years ago...

Sorry to hear about your husbands troubles. You guys do have a nice truck though. I moved on years ago and got back into the Toyotas recently. Seems like you can spend all kinds of money on a newer truck and they will never have the character that the first gen's do. Seeing yours really makes me want to paint mine yellow . Bumblebee is a good name for it too, my 4yr old dsaughter just calls mine the mud truck.

Thanks for the compliment. I work hard to keep it looking nice. He just drives it...something wrong with this picture
He's frustrated that I posted a pic without the headlight covers on. Ugh.
As for the name Bumblebee - it's had the name for 11 years. Now with the custom exhaust it sounds like a giant bee. Or a chainsaw. Why can you put nice exhaust on a V8 and it rumbles, but you do the same to a 4cyl and it sounds like a chainsaw? It's just wrong.
He says the the flares are Bushwacker cutouts. I believe they are 4", but all I find for our year is 3". Maybe that's why they are from the pickup. If you look at the passenger side rear flare, you can see a removable piece that is supposed to accommodate the gas cap door. I would guess that the actual 4runner flares wouldn't have this? Dunno.
Does anyone know where I could look for tubular a-arms? Also in need of interior parts - door panels and the black plastic thing the stereo sets in. Any tips would be appreciated
