    85 Surf-roamer (4runner camper)

    if you do want to put a pass through, you could sill keep the L-shaped dinette, just have the part of the bench that goes infront of the pass through hinged to move out tof the way. you would have to remove the water tank, but you could get two smaller ones to go in the parts on either side of...

    Bang Buck Truck - Alpine Hoo Ha's 2nd Gen 4Runner

    ahh its nice to see another 2nd gen 4runner. well mine is a grey import surf, so the body and frame are the same, its got a 2.4 turbo diesel in it, and much like a 22re its fairly underpowered in northamerican highways, but in the dirt it pulls nicely. put a 1.5" bj spacer in the front and a 2"...

    95 4Runner spare tire carrier

    the bracing isn't in place, you have to buy them from toyota and install it yourself. the tire carrier itself can be found on second generation 4runners.

    F?R LSD'S??? Opinions, thoughts, experiences???

    I'm also going to throw my vote in for the truetracs. being gear driven rather than a clutch type there is very little maintenance to it. and like ntsqd said, you can use your brake to "load" it and it will keep you moving forward. if your not going to go selectable locker, truetracs are the way...

    2wd to 4wd suspension

    he's right, two different set ups. on the 4x the torsion bar is on the upper a-arm and mounted above the frame rails, on the 2wd its on the lower a-arm and mounted below. cheapest way would be to keep an eye out for someone selling some upper control arms. i found a set of 2 or 3 inch uppers on...

    hi-ya

    I hadn't even thought about curling, I might have to add one or two, hahaha. the blades are on there as vortex generators not really, we had them left over from the roof rack and didn't want to just throw them out, so they ended up on the trunk
