If you want the window extended with the tail gate open, first open the tail gate, place a table or other type stand a foot or two from the tail gate for the window to rest on when it extends so it doesn't fall onto the ground. Then take a Philips screwdriver and press into the latches so they...
Al,
Just rebuild one for my grandson, all looked good when put together. But got "white smoke" out the tail pipe when the engine got about 25 miles on it. It even had vapor coming out of the pipe for a couple of minutes after it was shut off. I did all the torque check and the normal...
I've had two issues with replaced 22RE's...
First one wouldn't start because the ground cable that connects under the air intake was not connected. I connected that ground and all was good.
Another brand new engine just wouldn't run, not even on starting fluid. Spark plugs APPEARED to...
Taking a look at the old cam shaft, the #3 exhaust valve lobe was well worn. Not sure if the fact the rocker arm could not be adjusted prior to the head work. Perhaps the head has been re-worked previously. See photos.
Thanks for the replies, and I know neither is the best correction...
I have a problem with two valves on a 22RE.
Just had the head resurfaced and valves ground, installed a new cam and going back together. I thought.:bang:
The #2 and #3 exhaust valves cannot be adjusted,:mad: with the adjustment screwed backed all the way out, the clearance between the...
Question about water passage hole in head gaskets for a 22RE.
In this picture you can see the block (lower image), old head gasket (center image, silver in color) and a new head gasket (top image, dark in color).
The blue circles show that the water passage in the block is about 3/8 by 1...
Anyone know why I would have a buildup of carbon in the air intake chamber and manifold on a high mileage 87 4Runner EFI. The carbon is at least 1/4 inch thick. Just old age???
Engine had a problem with the timing chain cutting into the water jacket and the oil was the typical milkshake...
I'm needing to get some fuel injectors cleaned/serviced and cannot find any reference in the searches I have done. And I just don't want to send them off to places on Google.
Can anyone give me a reliable name/company that does injector service???
Thanks,

Just a quick follow up on the IFS ARB RD90 install on the ’86 4Runner.
The second bearing, 50MM ID one, is the same one used on most Land Cruisers with the 50MM carrier. It’s a 32010X number. And just for a note, the other bearing (supplied by ARB) that is used in conjunction with the air...
The bearing supplied with the ARB is about 74MM outside diameter of the race and narrower that the other bearing (and even the original ones) as it has to share space with the air collar and still have the original bearing cap cover them. The other side, the one I’m looking for, is about 80MM...
Well, it’s rainy here in Florida, so I can take the flaming that is about to come.:)
I’m installing an ARB RD90 into the IFS on an ’86 4Runner. (I know swapping to a solid axle is the only way to go, but it’s not the way the owner wanted to go.)
The problem: the RD90 has 50MM diameter...
Thanks for the input, and the suicide knob is not an option. Neither is bending up steering components. Guess the only practical way is to talk him into a SAS.
Does anyone have an early right hand drive with solid axle and an automatic in it??? That would solve a lot of concerns and...
I know that with time and money, anything can be done. But I would like to know “should” it be done and what results can be expected?
A friend has an ’86 4Runner with a 4” lift, 33” tires and stock IFS. He likes rock crawling and puts the truck to hard use. There are two problems; first he...
Looks like I'll have to flame myself :censor:...
Started disconnecting and re-connecting wires, plugs etc. and watching the lights, then I came across a "ground" wire that was never laid down:mad:. The ground is under the air intake next to the oil filter and above the gas filter. Tight...
First, I did search and have read some resent threads simular to this, but still cannot find the answer. I don't want to crank this engine too much as the cam shaft needs to be run in.
Background: Replaced a tired 22RE engine with a fresh rebuilt 22RE. Installed larger throttle body, new...
On a couple of Runners in the family, we have found that the radiator external gets plugged with mud/dirt and doesn’t allow air flow throw it. Tried to wash/spray clean while in the Runner, but finally had to remove the radiator to get a good flush across the entire radiator due to the fan...
The auto is necessary as the driver has only one arm, and that's the left one. May be good idea if he had a right side drive like overseas, but what he has is what we work with...

Does anyone know where I can purchase a high performance/beefed up torque converter for a 1986 4Runner? Or what may be the best way to strengthen an automatic? I've tried the search, and Google search, but it seems like everyone builds for just the late model Toyotas.
I know it sounds...
I just did a knuckle replacement on my ’68 FJ40, I know you have a 4Runner…
I used the factory centering tool to do the alignment with. One the first side I did the measurements four times, three of the four I got the same numbers, 1.5mm on the lower bearing shims, for aligning the axle tube...
