Update and some advice/tips: 1) I'm an idiot. The runs are fine as is. I just needed to turn it the other way, from the molded corner, short leg down the back and longer goes forward. This actually gives you a little longer run in the front and you'll likely need to cut off a couple inches to...

Thanks for the input. I'm replacing window runs, and cleaning and greasing everything that moves inside the doors. Amazingly no rust except some surface rust at the very lip of the bed/cargo floor where it ends in the tailgate gap. For now wire wheel and prime it'll be better addressed with...

So I've got everything stripped from inside my cruiser in order to install sound deadening and new carpet. Anything I should be doing or considering doing while I'm at this point???

The ones I got the back leg is a bit longer but the front is considerably shorter.

I'll try and post pictures this weekend. Basically what's happening is the front part of the run that goes down into the door by the mirror ends about 3 inches or so above where the window goes into the door. The factory run I took out continues a good 4-6 inches into the door. Then there is a...

I had leaking from the upper 1/3 of the a-pillar bilaterally. I followed the info in this thread and the repair thus far has worked perfectly. I removed the old sealer with a screw driver, then wire wheeled it to bare metal and primed it. After a day or two I applied the sealer. Initially I...

Just wanted to say I did the upgrade with 4-runner arms. It's an awesome improvement. I took the whole assembly out and cleaned it. It gave me a chance to get a bunch of leaves and debris out of that area. I used a needle type grease gun that I use to grease the pivots on mtn bike swingarms to...

I'm replacing the window runs on my 1990 62. I got new ones front and back from toyotapartsdeal.com. The rear worked perfectly fine and accomplished what I had hoped, the window is tighter and goes up and down much faster. The front don't appear to be the same as what I removed. The forward...

Would you guys change the switch first or the regulator??

It does nothing. It goes back fine but when you move the little stud where the button goes forward, nothing, no noise no attempt to move, nothing. I'll try unplugging re-plugging. thx

First off let me say I've searched the forum and can't find any info on reclining. I did find the fore and aft issues and changed the gears and fixed the passenger seat. Thanks ihatemud. My drivers seat fore and aft is fine but it's reclined and won't come up. Of note the recline button is...

couldn't figure out how to add pics after the fact

Just wanted to add a quick review. I got a dash cap/cover from SOR. Shipping is crazy expensive but it a long box so I suspect it's fair. Anyway I think it looks pretty good, color is very close/same as original (gray for my 62). The texture is a little more pronounced on the SOR model but I...

I was referencing the caps. That actually looks pretty good and I may put that over a new cap Thx

Has anyone seen the replacement ones from SOR?? How do the compare to factory?? While on the topic how does the SOR upholstery look??
