I have two sets of treadwrights. On my taco (265/70/16 MT) they are on the poor side hard to balance and one is way out of round. On my Dodge 2500 diesel (245/75/16 AT) not a problem at all, still required a little more weight to balance them then I would care to put on a new set of tires but...

I think I am going to go with it I will rebuild and run the auto for now. I just cant pass up a good condition Gen 1, and especially one that comes with a spare parts gen 1 with it. They are my favorite body style. 22re is a solid engine, but lacks the power so if I go swapping anything...

My X wife got my Mint 87 4runner (22re, 5 speed) and I got the 03 double cab taco 4x4:mad:. OK OK I might have gotten the better end of the deal :victory: but I really do miss my runner and had big build plans for it. :Mechanic: Every offer I have given to buy it back from her gets :ar15: shot...

Ok at a local tire shop I found a 2 door 1986 Isuzu Trooper Diesel 5 speed for $500. The truck is in great shape inside and out but the motor is siezed up and the owner has no idea why. I thought it might make a fun project. Major queston is parts to rebuild the engine and after market for it...

Nice My favorite :victory: body style.

Didin't think about it like that. Is the xtra weight wort the xtra case or maybe just step down to a 4:1 insteed of the 4.7:1

Sounds like a tank venting issue to me.

I have a 87. I am running the same wheels as you but with a 255/75/16 yokahamas'. No lift as of yet but I am looking at the OME or a Downey 2-2 1/2. I just replaced front 1/2 shafts, tps, clutch and various other minnor parts. I will be regearing the transfer case next and adding aussie...

Here is a great cal. for the gearing question you are asking. http://www.4lo.com/calc/geartire.htm

I have been looking at doing the TRD supercharger on my taco as well. I have not personaly herd of any major problems with the TRD charger and it was orginaly back by the factory warrenty. I would go for it. I am!

Thanks for the ideas. I have been a little press for time and got tired of throwing money in to parts that didn't fix it. So I took it over to the local dealer and paid a $100. to have them trouble shoot it. They said it was the throttle pos. sen. They quoted me $110 for the part $200 for...

Ok Its an 87 4Runner 22R E. It runs ruff at an idles wet or dry out side but when its wet out in runs ruff all the way around. I have replaced plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Even swapped out computers. No change! Timing marks line up rotor points to one at top dead center, but if you put a...

This is a build up I can get behind. I have a 87 4Runner with a 22re that I am starting to build. I was thinking of building a custom jerry can holder that works with the spare tire winch to hold the two cans where the spare sits and then building a custom rear tire carrier.
