1st gen 4runner

Been kicking around seat replacements for the 60. Wanting to keep a semi period vibe I stumbled onto 1st gen 4Runner seats. My question for this group is does anyone have opinions about these seats? Anyone have a set in their 4Runner I could sit in or looking to sell?? Main gripe with the 60...

I wanted to know if there were any 3VZE experts out there who could help me diagnose and fix a timing issue with my 89 4runner. I just wrapped up a rebuild of the top end since what started out to be a somewhat simple timing belt job turned into tearing down the intake all the way down to the...

So I’m restoring an ‘84 4Runner and I really dig the stock styling. I’m putting a set of painted Land Cruiser wheels on which is a wheel that could have come on these trucks in ‘84. I had the wheels powder coated, first time experience for me, and I’m not sure if I’m happy with the results...

New to the forum, glad to finally utilize all the knowledge here. Back in 2020 I pulled this ‘84 4Runner out of the Mojave Desert after finding it amping hundreds of cars for sale at aN estate auction. Swapped a 22re in and have been bringing her back to her glory ever since. She has original...

Hey Guys, I'm looking for a 1st Gen 4Runner, 5speed, clean and original if possible and would prefer 1985 but could live with anything 22RE. Looking for something with original paint or a ton of photos before a repaint, not trying to find a wad of rust later. Would prefer to find one local-ish...

I got ahold of a set of the 15in wheels for a 1988 4runner. They are 15X7J 6-139.7 -20 φ106 60 degree taper 12mm, any reason these won't be an easy fit? WIll the offset cause issues? Also, does anyone know the part number or where I could find a set of rear center caps for these? Thanks

Previously, I harrassed this forum with questions about what to look for and what not to buy a 1st gen version. I'm currently living in Japan, so my options were slightly different, mostly where the steering wheel is and what engine I have. But since I sold my 75 series Troopy, I felt lonely...

Like the title says, I am looking at getting a 1st Gen 4runner. What specific problems or issues should I be looking for? Any know issues? Bad years, motors, transmission, etc. How is part availability? For both the exterior as well as mechanical? Any good shops that have after-market parts...

Hi All, Putting feelers out for my beautiful 1986 4Runner Turbo SR5 with 119K miles. Some of you may have seen this truck on BaT - it did not sell there as reserve wasn't met, but I ended up coming to an agreement privately with the seller. It's all original - graphics, paint, interior - and...

Fellow Mudders, Earlier this week my wife told me a neighbor from a few blocks away stopped by as they always see me in the driveway working on my 80 series, and hauling stuff to the dump in my 95 standard cab 22re (first vehicle I ever purchased). Well, to make a long story short, the...

Last weekend we finished building our Hard Top hoist (special thanks to Illzoni's post on T4R Hoist for 1st Gen Topper - Toyota 4Runner Forum - Largest 4Runner Forum): I then loaded up the family to celebrate and get ice cream...and quickly became jealous of the kids in the backseat with full...

1986 4runner Automatic Installed a budbuilt crossmember that didn't exactly fit correctly, so he shipped me spacers and it required 2 to remove the interference with the bottom of the case. Now, I'm stuck in 4WH and the shifter but it into 2WH or 4WL. The shifter moves but feels as if its...

I just tired to find a good spot to mount the marine folding cup holders in my '87 4Runner SR5 tonight that I got off Amazon but no luck. I have a 80 series Land Cruiser and bought Slee's cup holder that fits in the useless pocket thing that works similar to an ash tray. Does anyone make...

Hi, I am new to the 4Runner forums and just picked up a pristine ’87 4Runner SR5 Turbo from TX a week ago. We currently have 80 and 100 series land cruisers, but I wanted the 4Runner because it is light, nimble, and we can take the top off our kids. After getting the new 4Runner, I started...

I've done a lot of research on soft top options for my '87 4Runner. Here is what I came up with: 1) Killer Toy Tops - $900-$1,000 with lots of color and setup options. Rigid frame design that can hold a roof rack (wish I had a pic of one with a rack). Sides zip off and many use factory rear...
