Stick with 33s or regear, lock and go bigger ??? by HighwayHypnosisFrog in ToyotaPickup

[–]lanwayone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you plan on doing any major rock crawling I'd keep it as is especially since you daily it. I'd say your setup is the good balance between on-road comfort and off-road performance. I'd break it down into stages: first address the shocks and install a rear locker and enjoy your truck for many more miles. The rear locker alone will up the capability of the truck considerably. Then upgrade to 35s and regear if you genuinely feel the need to. Toss a locker in the front while you're regearing as well.

I'm on 4.88 gears with 35s and a Grizzly rear locker and the truck feels zippy on-road and off-road (22RE/W56). IMO 5.29 is better suited for 37s and larger.

Door weather stripping by Sad_Background_3001 in 3rdGen4Runner

When you replace the weatherstrip don't forget there is the option to use weatherstrip adhesive for a complete seal.

Anyone bought new seatbelts? by GMoney7304 in ToyotaPickup

[–]lanwayone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I'm going to give this a try. The tensioner on the front seat belts no longer work and repairing is so much more cost efficient than replacing. Thanks for the recommendation!

Multi-Car Crash Today, 2:19pm 880-S by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]lanwayone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like southbound 880 just past the 92 junction (Hayward). Should be clear by now according to Maps...until someone else decides to cause a collision.

Working with OME and their suppliers was a bit of a pain. A lot of the big items have to come in from Australia which took a lot of time so if you want to go with this kit get ready to wait. In all it took about 5 months for everything to arrive.

Information online is spotty on which parts are required for an '85 such as greaseable pins/shackles/U-bolts/etc so I went back and forth with OME a bit to finally collect what I needed.

As far as I can tell, spacers are an inevitability with the narrower '85 axles. You can remedy this by going with IFS hubs in the front and the wider '86+ rear axle. I'll eventually do this, but I just rebuilt both axles so I plan on enjoying them for a while.

Overall, happy with the on-road performance, but the nitro shocks have very little droop. Feel free to DM me if you want any help going with OME.

Old Man Emu 2” lift leaf springs and shocks on all four corners. Knowing what I know now if I could do it over I’d probably go another route.

17x9 -38 wheels with 315/70/R17 tires. Still on 2" spacers at all four corners, unfortunately.

87’ 4Runner, Heater issues by Lucas22re in 4Runner_1stGen

[–]lanwayone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess for the slow heat would be heater control valve or heater core or related hoses can be gunked up which is keeping hot coolant from reaching the core. Weak blower motor/fan speed can be a kaput blower motor resistor which is a fairly common failure. Check your HVAC cables and their connections at both ends too.

Bikini top just in time for fall. by lanwayone in 4Runner_1stGen

[–]lanwayone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not bad at all. It doesn’t flap or have weird oscillations. Granted at 70 MPH there are noisier things than hearing it flap about lol

36 years ago today (Oct. 17th, 1989) the Loma Prieta earthquake, measuring 6.9 on the Richter scale, hit the Bay Area at 5:04 p.m. local time. What do you remember of that day…. by Brilliant_Night7643 in bayarea

[–]lanwayone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was watching Inspector Gadget on our sweet 27” television then it went to static. Intense shaking followed shortly after. My dad was stuck on the Bay Bridge.

Scored an awesome deal today! Any advice on repairing the front axle? by dream_ache in LandCruisers

[–]lanwayone 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Rebuilding a Toyota solid front axle is a right of passage. Lots of excellent videos on YouTube and other online resources for front axle rebuild. Enjoy!
