I'm a newbie to 4 runners just bought this 85 4runner sr5
139,xxx on the clock , rebuilt top end, some body work to fix and fender to paint, new 31's ,cold a/c im happy. Stock for now. I got to fix the rear window--common breakage on those? switch or relay problem? I know the motor works he rig a wire to connect a battery to make it go up and down.

ahhh just found sombody's trouble shooting tips on rear window

another question did they make turbo 4 runner in 85? just askin because theres a turbo badge on rear tail gate but in doesn't look like a factory badge im not sure. theres no turbo in the engine unless they yanked it out

[missouriman]

nice,
make sure all the bolts are in the top. I think that it is the 3rd one back on the drivers side is a safty switch to keep you from moving the window with the top off.

no on the turbo four runner.

85 4Runners ROCK. Nice find, it looks reasonably clean. Good luck with the build and enjoy your "new" truck. A pic of mine.

I had a 86 SR-5 that color with a white top. That is my favorite 4Runner color of all time. Aztec Gold. Nice looking 4Runner.

Yes i like to color too,, oh thanks I was looking in the door jamb for color codes could not find (aztec gold didn't know that). Looking to replace hood graphics looks like it faded away. Anyone know if still availble?

if you are refering to turbo gas, I believe they were only available
in 86 & 87. I have a 87 turbosr5 pickup.

This place makes reproduction graphics

Toyota Stripes and Decals - Discontinued factory stripe kits, logos, graphics and decals.

And here was the only place I could find touch up paint for our gold 4runners.

Great looking truck, I love the gold color

drove it to work today 50 miles each way. Ill tell you one thing im not going to get anymore speeding tickets--lol

Just so you know, the 22re does have potential. It just takes money. Mine turns 4" of lift and 33" tires at 65-70 all day long.

I would start with a nice tune up including plugs, wires, PCV, timing, cap/rotor, and Ox sensor. Remove the throttle body and give the inside a good bath (take off the throttle position sensor first). I'm willing to bet the inside of your plenum is also gunked up too from the PCV. Also, toss a can of SeaFoam in your tank, and a can in the crankcase your next oil change.

Worthwhile mods include the late-model plenum swap, header with 2.25" exhaust, cam, cleaned and balanced injectors ... and if you think the engine is real tired I'd give Tim at DOA or the folks at LC Engineering a call for one of their fresh engines.

Mine pulls pretty strong with 33's and 35's. It has a MSD coil, LCE headers, and 2.25" exhaust. The potential to speed is there if you keep it up around 3000 rpms, shift around 3500-4000.

I've got a friend who can make the repro decals a lot cheaper than that. he doesn't have all the decals digitized yet though. That guy makes a killing on those decal kits.

Great color. 1985 was a great year.

[sk6strng]

If it's not too much trouble I would be interested in the contact for "factory" decals for my 1986 4runner.
Thanks
