What did you do with your classic T4R today?

[cjalexander]

Replaced window motor

Replaced the passenger window motor in the '87.

Up next: more troubleshooting on the rear window so I can swap the top.

Over the weekend I pulled the trigger on a 1990 V6 5 Speed 4WD SR5! Very excited to start working on her but i don't have plates yet. So that is first up. Next i will start replacing some of the worn out parts and do a general tune-up.

Congrats! Would love to see some pics

just bought it, drove it home today!

purchased my 1st 4runner 94 with 241k. Bought as a around town vehicle. 4wd, manual. Paid $1200, needs a lil work, but hope this site can help me with that

I am currently restoring my 86 T4R

Me too. Only recently acquired it. Put on new front fenders over the weekend and am working to sort out some surface rust.

What did I do? Ordered more parts for it. Today it was a CAI kit and windshield washer bottle from Fleabay.

So far I've also ordered, but not yet installed, a bunch of other parts.
- A set of stainless headers
- An aluminum 3 row radiator w/shroud and electric fan
- A LC Engineering EGR block off kit
- Moog HD stock height rear coils
- A 1" body lift
- A new throttle cable
- A bunch of parts from the dealer to get the rear tailgate glass to function properly.

The body lift is only going on if/when I decide to pull the trigger on a 3.4 swap. For now the new rear coils will give me all the lift I'll need for a daily driver.

This list is a little late, but here's the stuff I've already done, or had done, since I bought this high mile (242K) but basically stock 2nd gen a couple of weeks ago.
- Replaced the rotten tires with Hankook MT2's (30x9.5R15)
- Fixed the sunroof (replaced the switch)
- Changed the oil and filter
- Replaced the broken windshield
- Replaced the broken power antenna
- Added a pair of KC lights to the brush guard
- Replaced the factory stereo with a large display double DIN head unit
- Replaced the blown factory speakers
- Added a back up camera

I'm sure I'm probably forgetting a few things, but that's most of it for now.

Today, someone in SF drove their cool 1st Gen in front of me for a couple blocks. Drizzly and 62 degrees out.

just got back from a 2100 mile trip with 4r #2. no issues; cruise worked well in the flat states of MI, OH, and western/southern NY. 4 travel days, and a day-trip of 450 miles to visit in-laws camp. odometer passed 250,000 miles on trip home.

job site visit

zipping by the north side of the presidential range in the white mtns. that's adams in the center, morrison to the left, and jefferson to the right. washington is behind adams (not visible).

 

[cjalexander]

Hammered out a 1/4panel dent, adjusted passenger door hinges and handle mechanism.

 

[Dropzone]

finished mounting the 06 Civic seats in my 94. Only had to drill out the inside front bracket an inch or so over and elongate the two rear holes.
This allowed me to use the 4 factory 4runner mounting holes

After selling my '97 I couldn't stay away from the older Yota's. Found a local 1989 and bought it. Promptly removed the hardtop and installed a Softopper. I had plans for doing the SAS on this girl, but I just bought an '84 as well. I may be in the market to let this blue '89 go to a new home. It's a 22RE with 5-Speed Manual.

 

[saltyskin]

the replaced oil pan on my 95'. The gasket sealer had run its course and was leaking. Interesting thing is that the last mechanic to put gasket sealer on the oil pan never replaced the pan. The damn chain tensioner/guide that breaks on 22re's was just floating around in the oil pan. Probably been in the pan for over 10 years.

I went goofing on some rocks then deep cleaning of seats.

Installed a new shift boot cover and center console lid. This 1993 only has 164K on it....so nice.

This rig runs like new and is in such great shape all over. I got some 32" BFG KO2's on it now...nice with those 2019 take off wheels.
It needs a new shift knob and a rear side window(scratched) and it is like new.
Have a great day all. onsite
