2 door 4runner general information
Hello folks,
I am new here and I recently purchased a 2dr 1990 4runner with 3.0 and a 5spd. I bought it knowing it was quite rare. In my endeavors of maintaining a relatively flawless truck (minus the 260k on the clock) I have stumbled across a few things that have my head spinning. First off, when doing the brakes I found out the hard way that the truck utilizes land cruiser brakes from the same and nearly surrounding years. Further down the road I found that the throttle position sensor is the same. So here I am, about to embark on another fun filled adventure that many know as a clutch. Before I tear into the truck, buy a clutch, and go through the routine I am wondering if this is the same as everything else I have come across. This is an attempt at best to save myself hours (possibly days if the parts have to be ordered) and money to do the job once.
I am well versed in the ability to do the job myself. I have a lift and all the necessary tools in the shop to do it. I just need to knock it out as quickly as possible.
I apologize for the novel, but I can't afford to leave my wife stranded without a vehicle (she is a school teacher, kids depend on her).
I am also looking for any other parts knowledge about these often rare vehicles. (I am mad for not buying the shell of a 2 dr I saw at the salvage yard.) I just need another year out of the drive train before I swap it out for something a little beefier.
Thank you all so much in advance...
and, nice to meet ya!!!

Mine is a 2nd gen 2door... I had found a complete body minus suspension, drivetrain, and interior at the junk yard... Bummed that I didn't snag it up because it made it's way to the crusher...
