So I had a set of custom graphics made using Oracal 651 Vinyl from Turn-ten graphics. I only did the quarter panels for the time being, but will do the hood once I get a couple small dents fixed. I've spent months going back and forth on options but I really dig the Ivan Stewart racing colors...
Looking at putting 87-88 SR5 Graphics on my 89 4Runner. I very much prefer the look of the 87-88 SR5 graphics over the 89 style. I wanted to see if anyone on the forum has experience with 3M vinyl graphics. I see sets on ebay go for around $140-150 compared to $280 or so for the James Dean...
The button on the end of my windshield wipe stalk is broken. Is there an easy fix for this? I can't find just the plastic end piece for sale and complete stalks are very expensive.
So my 1989 4Runner (3VZE, manual trans) is running pretty well, but when I first start it, the temp gauge reads regular operating temperature. Sometimes it will drop to cold, then as the engine warms, it reads like it should. Today I took it out and temps stayed reading in the normal range...
I was greasing the chassis this morning and hit the front driveshaft u-joint with some grease. I pulled out my grease gun and found the entire zerk fitting still attached to the end of the gun.
I pushed the zerk fitting back in the drive shaft u-joint center, but it won't fit securely. It...
Guys,
I believe I'm missing a spring for the clutch pedal for my 89 4Runner. I've ordered two different springs now and failed both times. Does anyone know what's supposed to go between these two spots? I'm guessing this is where the spring is supposed to go. Clutch pedal works fine...
I had no idea that a FSM for a 3VZE 4Runner was so hard to find. Every version I can find is 22RE only, which makes it a bit difficult to work on the 3VZE. I'd prefer to use the FSM instead of going with Chiltons or similar. If you have a copy you can share, or know where to find one please...
Anyone know who sells an off the shelf match for 033 white? With my 040 Super White Tacoma it's easy, but not the 89 4Runner. I've heard that Dupli-color Wimbledon white is very close. Everything I'm finding online is $35 a can shipped (ebay or Amazon). That's a rip-off.
Mudders, need help finding adapters that connect from the factory speaker wires for the front 4" speakers to aftermarket speakers. Pic of the factory connector attached. These are different from the rear speakers as well. I've searched all over ebay and amazon and can't find any. I'd prefer...
I finally got my 1989 4Runner SR5, V6, Manual, after looking for about two months. I live in the mid-west (for the next year or so), so it's slim pickings. Took delivery on the 4th of July in a dimly lit Home Depot parking lot with an exhausted looking big rig driver. It's been a California...
The horn on my new to me 89 4Runner isn't working (just got the 4Runner, I'll post pics later). I used the wiring diagram posted on T4R.com to check things out with my multi meter.
I don't have 12v power at the green/red wire to my horn ( I should). I do have 12v constant power to the other...
Has anyone ever done a 3-point seat belt conversion for all three spots in the back seat of a 1st Gen 4Runner? I've seen lots of conversions for the outer two positions, but never the center. Kind of sucks for the person that gets the middle seat.
All modern vehicles have a 3-point for the...

Thanks
So I found this on CL yesterday. Truck as 243K and appears is excellent shape, minus some paint oxidation on the hood. Seller claims it was in a fender bender requiring only the DS fender, bumper, headlight replacement. No frame damage.
Really like the color and interior condition. What's...
Who's completed swapping an 84-89 1st Gen Body onto to a 96-02 4Runner chassis? I love the running gear of that generation Tacoma / 4Runner but don't love the 4-door enclosed steel shell of the 3rd Gen 4 Runner.
With how lazy Toyota is with making changes to their trucks, I can't image it's...
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forum, but am a long time Toyota Truck / Tacoma owner. I've currently got a 2004 Tacoma XtraCab 4x4 TRD that I love. I've recently started looking for something that can fit my family of 5 while enjoying some top down fun. I've gone the Jeep route before, but left...

- SR5 Package
- 5VZ-FE or 3RZ swapped. Must be EFI.
