This thread is for those with a 4 Runner or Mini Truck and want to discuss related items. I know we don't have many in the club but hope this will change. Post up discussions and build topics.

Anyone putting 80 axles under your 4 Runner, post your pic. I have questions on setting up front axle to factory 3 link.

To many options to choose from, I can't make my mind up on witch engine to run in my 87 4 runner. I have a GM 2002 4.3 with mild RV cam 4 L60E np203 to splitcase or a GM 2005 6.0 [LQ9] 4L65E np203 to splitcase. The good with the 4.3 is less broke parts I think, just not sure on power with 411 gears and 36" tires in high range. I know I don't have to worry about power with the 6.0 in any case.lol but broke parts YES.

please respond.

thanks
lee

I haven't done either swap, but have read on a lot of forums about guys doing the 4.3 swap and being very happy with it. I would be inclined to go with the 4.3 and try it out on the road and see how it does, rehearing to 4.88/5.29s would be cheaper/easier than building the rest of the truck to handle the 6.0 just my humble opinion.

Anybody have a set of stock 80 series front coils? I have a friend looking for a pair to lift his 4Runner. Thanks in advance.

Give Knox Auto Parts a call. They did have an 80, but I don't know what's left of it.

Anybody have a set of stock 80 series rear coils? I have a friend looking for a pair to lift his 4Runner. Thanks in advance.

I had some, but Jason in Tn snagged them.
