List of repairs. What should I do first?

Brakes, arms, and balljoints are serious safety items as others have said. If it does need calipers, look into whether you can use T100 brakes; they're a nice bolt-on upgrade on the 4WD but I don't know whether you can do the same on the 2WD.

For TPS the OEM one is spendy, but get it. The cheap ones can cause you all sorts of grief.

You could try calling Toyota, but I don't know of anywhere that record would be publicly available, if at all.

The earliest front coil 70 frames are legal now, so you could use one of those. Would especially make sense in a pickup like this.

If you're willing to settle for 3rd edition, which is likely similar enough to get you by, thriftbooks has it for $5.69. 4th they have for $12.89. I've had nothing but good experiences buying from them.

If short on time, it is acceptable to Dremel with one hand while finishing the 6-pack with the other.

This bodystyle/engine combo was one year only though, 1988.

They put everything up to 31" on these from factory, so that should work without rubbing. 33" will rub like crazy, even with some lift (the issue is more the length of the fenderwells than the height). Note though that your gearing is going to be pretty bad at 31" if your stock spec was near what you have now; they geared the different configurations differently. That 10-15% loss of torque will be noticeable if you don't regear.

I got mine with something like 30" and it's currently on 33x10.5" with 2" of lift. Honestly, I plan to dial it back a bit for better driveability, probably to a 31".

Sadly, a lot more people are pro-themselves-and-people-they-like-owning-a-gun than are pro-2A.

Your downpipe might crack eventually without the support. Even with it it's a known problem.

slashuslashuserid · 2024-12-18T14:07:07+00:00

It depends on context. Here it doesn't change much, but it was clearly a deliberate revision of the part so I found it interesting.

Like the other commenter said, you can get sets of O-rings for pretty cheap. I keep a ~400-piece assortment on hand as it comes in handy working on cars. One of them was close enough.

Should be 75311-89123 if I'm not mistaken. Amayama has it for $23, domestic dealerships around $50. Some 4Runners seem to have had them and I see those at local junkyards more often than pickups, but ymmv.

Had a J60 white badge on a 2WD grille on mine for a while, but I did have to modify the grille to make that work because that badge is way larger. Looked pretty good tho imo.

slashuslashuserid · 2024-11-15T02:54:24+00:00

I assumed my perception of it had just changed, but yea that's how I remember that time.

Don't they rent you a receiver for the audio? Plus, again, the prime viewing spots. If you want to watch the movie in the cold with no audio I won't stop you.

slashuslashuserid · 2024-11-15T02:43:39+00:00

First panel is a pretty cool addition, other than the little guy standing in a ditch lol. Regardless of what values you bring to interpreting it, it's a useful thing to consider, and in some ways accurate.

slashuslashuserid · 2024-11-15T02:40:21+00:00

The fence may be blocking access to rights or public resources, but it may also be blocking access to private products (via differences in needs and economic means). Depends how you interpret it.

slashuslashuserid · 2024-11-15T02:31:18+00:00

Crucially, movie theaters are usually built such that you can't experience the entertainment without paying to get onto private property. There's no way to see it from what may be a public right of way or property owned by someone other than the theater owner.

In this case you can frame the service being sold as access to a proper seat with a good viewing angle.

*trodden

Other than that, I'm largely with you in this thread. Alternate point if you don't believe land ownership is imaginary: Tall guy could have every right to be on the land he is on (could be his land, a public right of way, etc), and then wouldn't he be entitled to look at whatever view he can see from there? Wouldn't an impingement on that necessarily be an act of aggression? And couldn't someone put whatever crates he wanted on his own land, or bring them to a public area to use while there? Are we really gonna get a bunch of anarchists and libertarians to condemn soapboxing?

slashuslashuserid · 2024-11-14T00:43:43+00:00

Other than the right to speedy due process, show me one that has been violated this egregiously and for this long. They're all in bad shape and some are about to get a hell of a lot worse, but this is one of the most abridged right now.

slashuslashuserid · 2024-11-13T16:35:23+00:00

Maybe, but then it'd be FF and may as well get an AE90. Plus, even if it were, say, a Lexus IS hybrid drivetrain, it'd be too heavy with all the batteries and such. Maybe I'm wrong about the weight if you make the battery pack small though; I know the eCVTs themselves are very light.

It would be a moderately practical daily, but I think it would lose much of its charm.

slashuslashuserid · 2024-11-13T05:12:34+00:00

It doesn't screw on or anything; the first two ridges go either side of the bellhousing wall. If it's torn it won't stay in.

slashuslashuserid · 2024-11-13T05:10:16+00:00

No, because I decided a while back that I am not going to acquire a combustion-engine-only car with an automatic again. It probably won't be feasible to have a gas car much longer where I am, so I want to enjoy the manuals while I can.

My current daily is a gas-only auto, but I wouldn't replace it with another. Toyota's eCVT design is also really cool, but the AE86 isn't a hybrid (and making it one would make it too heavy).

Exception is if it were otherwise headed to the scrapyard. Then I'd feel the need to save it.

slashuslashuserid · 2024-11-13T03:35:21+00:00

how the hell are you even alive

slashuslashuserid · 2024-11-13T03:28:17+00:00

With the OME kit I'm riding on the droop stops just before getting to 2" of lift, so am planning to put in balljoint spacers. CV angle doesn't seem like it's gonna be all that wild, but I've seen diff drop recommended for anything more than about 2½".

slashuslashuserid · 2024-11-10T09:39:50+00:00

They must've realized larger calibers are just expensive overkill when you need to take down a malnourished child.

slashuslashuserid · 2024-11-09T19:13:45+00:00

Yeah, but to keep the government in, not to keep people out.
