    1994 Pickup: Torsion bar compromised?

    Time to cut off the IFS and do a solid axle swap. ? You’ll need a frame shop to fix that. May be able to make adjustments with a jack to spread the lower mounts, but you’ll have to be careful. Does the creaking happen when turning sharply? Probably just the steering stops. Put a dab of grease...

    somewhere I have a picture of a busted 3" strap that I found while towing my xtracab to Rapid City for BHCC2017... Drove at least 150 miles with no front strap on the truck... Towing the 4runner back to MN with a 94 4Runner... really, really dumb idea. Everyone haaated me in Nebraska (NE is...

    funny story... wife pulled that same enclosed trailer filled to the brim - had to have been pushing well over 5k - when we moved with her 5th gen 4runner. I was admittedly impressed and surprised at how well it towed... Would I do it again? No. Would I let her do it again? Hell no. Did it do...

    I've towed an 85 4runner with a 94 4runner from CO to MN. A 3k# enclosed trailer with a Gen2 Tacoma... a 5k trailer with a gen1 Tacoma (ok... supercharged). I've done a LOT of stupid stuff. I really, really struggle when people post pictures of towing heavy loads with a Tacoma and say it tows...

    First Foray into 4Runners - My 1st Gen Build

    Just looked at a bunch of old 4Runner pics. I'm now 99.99996453% positive that's a can-back. VERY nice unit. I've owned two with side windows, one without. Sheesh - I've been through almost as many vehicles as @Clutch! :D I don't believe there is anything similar to the can-back frame, so I...

    First Foray into 4Runners - My 1st Gen Build

    That looks like a can-back to me. Had a few; loved em. Still have a set of roof rack bars sitting in the garage.

    Same issue on both sides? This is going to sound like a dumb suggestion, but... When I bought my first set of sliders in... 1997-ish. I had to bolt on the front mount first. If I did the middle and rear mounts, the front one didn't line up for some odd reason. I can't explain why - one bolted...

    My Mid-life Crisis "build."

    Vibration is making me want to go buy some dynamite... Parking the 4Runner for a bit... been way behind on getting the tractor done (grandfathers 8n/9n hybrid) so taking thanksgiving week off to work on the 4Runner. Hoping I’ll find a had cv or something. Btw, painting toooob sucks

    You may be correct. I know the tundra got vvti and the 5-speed in 05... assumed it was the same for sequoias

    Toyota Sequoia quest for information...

    I think the 5-speed is 05-07. Had an 07 sequoia limited. I liked it. Sold it only because I ended up needing a pickup at the time.

    V8 Colorado for a bit. I *think* the Ford sport trac got a v8 for a bit as well. Granted, similar HP numbers were available from supercharging the 5vze, but I’d still have fun with a v8.
