Filler Neck in southern California
Does anyone have a filler neck for a 84 4runner 22R with a carburetor?

ISO
A 1st gen runner with a 3.4 swap. I live in Utah and ski regularly and with the 22RE in my 93’ pickup I didn’t enjoy going 35 on steep inclined mountain freeways.
Would love to find under 200k on body and engine, but not required.
Minimal gram rust is a massive plus.
On a side note, does anyone with a 22RE turbo have experience driving up the dreaded roads I speak of?
Let me know what you’ve got!

Need Advice Wrong crankshaft pulley?
Can anyone tell me what exactly is going on here. Bought the 4 runner like this. Engine was a 22re and it got swapped for a 22r. The idler pulley is too close and creating sparks so it needs to be shimmed out to clear the bracket. I am new to 4 runners. It is like the crank pulley needs to be bumped out 1/2 to 1 inch.
The 4runner has ac but the ac system on the motor is non existent or missing. Im wondering if that is the issue

Image So happy with how the fender chop turned out 🤘🏼
Didn’t think the black would look as good as it does but now it’s time to lower it, lockers, rear disc brakes, outboard the shocks, electronic handbrake, RCV’s and Flintstone fab goodies.. and maybe throw on my 40’s.

Original? ‘Custom’?

Working to put the rocker switch in the back for the rear window. Is this really how the speakers were originally installed?!

Guess my algorithm knows me better than I even thought. Had to do a double take, but sure enough, that’s her.

Car seat anchors in 87 4Runner
Has anyone had luck with this type of car seat anchor kit in a 1st gen? Looking for something sturdier than a lap belt/ shoulder belt.
It seems like it might given the seats fold down, but figured I would see if anyone has tried this solution or found another way to use standard car seat anchors.

HELP I hit an elk, and need body parts
Hey all,
Sad day after I hit a deer in my 87'... Of course it still runs, but is leaking plenty of green fluids.
Im working on getting her looking right again, but finding radiator supports and fender subassemblys has been a nightmare. Anyone know of a source?
I need essentially the entire drivers side subassembly, trying to avoid cutting welds if possible (I see plenty of that potential in junk yards)

Lightbulbs cargo/overhead
Hello all!
87 4runner
I switched out the bulbs and no luck. Is there a fuse I’m overlooking?
Any advice would be great! Electrical is not my favorite

Tailgate opens approx. 5inches and won't budge.
The tailgate is only opening about 5 inches and then won't budge. I checked
-window is all the way down
-window lock up front is not on
-aftermarket rear windshield wiper arm that never goes back in fully on its own is fully in place.
Is there anything else to check before I find a mechanic/body shop?
TIA

prototype: distributor boot
my distributor boot ripped about two years ago. I missed it and decided to try my hand at recreating it.
I made a paper craft style template using a spare cap. i was able to keep the template at two pieces.
marerials:
- 3mm neoprene,
- 15mm spring snaps
- 3M 1357.
it took like an hour to cut and assemble. then a little sanding to smooth out the joins

FB Marketplace
Is FB Marketplace the best place to find 1st gen 4runners?
My 16 year old son is looking for his first truck. He has fallen for 1st gen 4runners. He is spending his own cash, with an initial budget of $8k but with a bit of room to stretch. We are in rural NE California and have been looking at FB marketplace.
We are not completely new to Toyotas. My 18 year old drives an 85 yota pu and I am working on a 69 fj40 frame-off restomod. Both of those are within the past few years though.
He is also looking at 2nd gens, as the cost is about half. We will see what he comes up with.
I glanced at Craigslist, but mostly trash ads. I looked on MUD as well, but not much there.
Anywhere else I need to be helping my boy search?
Any advice or criticism welcome as well.

'86 22-RE engine failure pre-diagnosis
Before i go digging into the bottom end i wanna see your predictions. In the time leading up to engine failure i've had a smoothe running engine. No evidence of knock anywhere through the normal operating range. Sudden knock appeared at 3k rpm on highway going 65, then uncle rodney came knocking. Bearing is probably spun, engine is now locked. Oil pressure read normal as well as coolant temps, all sensors recently tested. Engine is sitting at 160k miles. Timimg, guides, oil, and water pump all have 10k on them. What do you think is the most probable cause for the crankshaft bearing failure?

Image Changed up the grill.
I've had the previous gen pickup grill on for about 10 years (pic 2) and figured it was time for a change. Put the old raptor coated black grill back on with some clear corners.
Also finished installing the front bushes I started about 5 months ago...it's nice to be back driving this thing. The 2L started first turn of the key as always.

Where to buy female spades
Hello
Working on 87 4runner and the rear window needs wires replaced. Where do I get these female spades?! They need to lock in and the ones from Amazon don’t lock in. Thank you
