    Has Anyone Made a 2nd gen 4 door 4Runner with a Removable Top?

    Can I echo the others? That is not a 1992. While there were some rare Gen2 4Runners that did have 2-doors, it was only 1990-91 in the USA. That truck is a Gen1. You might look at the VIN tags, and the VIN stamped on the frame, passenger side. Look at the 10th digit for the year code...

    83 Trailblazer Build

    I will second the 3RZ. Miles of smiles over the 22RE. The supercharger helps.

    How do you like your 4th gen Tacoma?

    I have a TRD-OR/6MT. There is no room for an adult in the back seat. That is why I removed it and installed the rear seat delete kit from Goosegear. I wanted the storage. Installing an aftermarket air compressor is not a problem. There are companies making brackets to mount an ARB under the...

    Build 1983’ mini-crawler RN48 “Clementine” Build

    The calipers you want have 4 large pistons, and can be found on V6 trucks 1988-1995 (pre-Tacoma). I think at some point they started using this caliper on 4-cyl 4x4 trucks as well. Note that the front line is different early to late. I don't remember which, but on one the line comes off the...

    Does this forum have a FAQ/Sticky post?

    Got it, and I agree. I think this group need to generate some content. So far, it's rather quiet here.

    Does this forum have a FAQ/Sticky post?

    I guess it's possible to stick threads. Two of us here are moderators in other groups. This group (4G Tacoma) doesn't have an official moderator. Frankly, I don't think a discussion about buttons rises to a sticky. My opinion is that stickies can, and do, get out of control, and the entire page...

    Grille before with the Toyota "sombrero." TRD Pro grille with "Toyota" and 20" Diode Dynamics light bar. I also replaced the factory fog lights (clear) with DD amber lights. Installed outlets in the Goosegear rear seat delete. The switch on the right is the fuel gauge/fuel pump switch for...

    Cutting that notch for the hard line is an old trick. For good reason. It should have come that way from Toyota.

    Meet "Mongo" my 2026 tacoma, Trd Offroad

    I can't help with the magnetic oil drain plug. I will suggest getting the Fumoto drain valve. On your first oil change you will find out why. I would also recommend the first oil change at 500 miles. The diff and tranny might already have magnetic plugs. For shells there are two basic options...

    Build Meet "Billy." Pappy's TRD-OR 6MT

    [whine mode on] Forty bucks Toyota? Forty fricken' bucks for a single spark plug? Have you lost your mind? I'm used to paying $40 for a set of spark plugs. Plus, change out at 40K miles! At least my Venza goes 100K (on paper) between changes. [OK, rant off] Ya, I know. Turbo. Anyway, I changed...
