Front swaybar bushings worn out. I will fix'em as soon as I decide on factory or aftermarket urethane?

seafarinman · 11-26-2004, 03:13 PM

94-
Front swaybar missing (took it off since it don't do squat to help on the trail or the road)
Trip odometer (hit the reset button too hard once and broke it)
body damage
87-
Body damage
transmission console cracked (bought it like that)
tailgate latch for right side mechanism (need to go to boneyard and find one) but the tailgate is off anyhow-going to the net for my 94.
dashboard illumination (the instrument panel works, but not the ventilation, or shifter indications)

Just place your front drivers side tire in the middle of a ricer hood . Any thing that may be wrong with your 4runner, just won't matter.

I'm soooooo tempted everyday. One part of the parking lot is a sort of gravel and sometimes with an auto locker you can't help but kick a few stones. I get some real nasty looks. I just can't see why these kids get BRAND NEW cars. At least I know what all those "doohickeys" and "thingamabobs" under the hood do.

Mad Chemist · 11-27-2004, 10:23 PM

Aarrgggh, what weekend! Okay, the short list is outer tie rod on Driver's side, sway bar bushings need replacent, sheared grease fitting (again) on driveshaft, a few other misc. things that need to be fixed.

bbagwell · 11-28-2004, 03:38 PM

Where to begin...

Holes rusted through the floorboards
Holes rusted through the sides and bottom of the bed
Clutch master cylinder leaks
It is painted with Herculiner and it is flaking off badly
The alternator light and brake light stay on whenever it is running
Drivers side brake light won't work - yes I replaced the bulb
Really crappy redneck exhaust
Bad front end vibration with hubs locked
Broken windshield - I mean really, really cracked all over, not a little chip
Sliding rear window broken latch
Shifter is broken, you can twist it all around
Radiator mounts are broken
Leaks oil
Loose u-joint in the front
No e-brake
No sway bar - like I would leave it on anyways!
Bad idler bearing pulley

That is about all I can think of for now. Heck I only paid $300 for it. I have done a ton of work to it, two engine swaps and pulled the tranny once. It actually runs really good, a hell of a lot better then it did when I got it. I have almost no money invested in it. It is an 83 so solid front axle. It will wheel with the best of them, and no worries about hurting it! Actually a damn reliable beast.

photoleif · 01-06-2005, 10:11 PM

Not to brag... but almost *nothing* is wrong with mine. I go through upper and lower ball-joints enough to keep Toyota in the $$, and I need to get a new Pitman arm. Aside from that and the tranny I had put in, my 4x4 has been almost perfect. Awesome piece of machinery.

slustan · 01-06-2005, 10:35 PM

inner and outer fender on passenger side
control arms
hood
radiator support
fan
fan shroud
battery cracked in half

had a date with a phone pole.......they broke up

bike4miles · 01-06-2005, 10:54 PM

I have fixed a LOT of stuff on mine and the only things lefft are:
1. AC doesn't work
2. Check engine light is on.

joatmon · 01-07-2005, 11:56 AM

Here's the list off the top of my head....If I do some more looking I could probably find more. But with 227000 miles it's not doing too bad.

Replace the windshield (it's really pitted)
Fix the Tranny (It's about to die)
Replace the shocks
Replace all the bushings (most of them are about dust)
Passenger side valve cover leaks
Battery is starting to have issues
Rear diff is starting to leak
Passenger side window switch doesn't roll the window down only up

Need to add a brush guard, lights, hi lift jack, cb.

Yoter · 01-07-2005, 01:30 PM

My latest broken stuff or nearly broken.

spark plug wires are weak (repaired)
K&N filter is dirty
power steering lines are slightly leaking
every now and then when taking off from a stop I hear a pop in the front end
speedo cable needs to be lubed up

lookin4x4yota · 01-12-2005, 10:01 PM

I've got a couple things gone wrong with my '83 4x4. Well...
1. My defrost wont work on the left side. Once I flip on the defrost things will clear up accept for the left side of the windshield and my drivers window. I'm not sure why...
2. My drivers side floorboard is getting wet durring rain! I can actually feel the water dripping onto my feet right around where the gas pedal is. And I'm pretty sure its not due to a faulty windshield gasket...

Other than that I can't think of anything right now. Can anyone give me some ideas to fix these problems?

Racer944 · 01-12-2005, 10:09 PM

No problems right now, occasional weird squeaks, though

drguitarum2005 · 04-22-2006, 01:52 PM

on the runner: ac blower is insanely loud but stealership needs to special order a new one to fix it, not worth it

4unner4life · 04-22-2006, 02:13 PM

jwbehm · 04-22-2006, 03:33 PM

1. Clutch is going out
2. Transfer Case leaks oil
3. 4x4 does not work as it should (not worth explaining, probably has to do with #2)
4. 15 mpg

Thank goodness for extended waranty!

JHupp · 04-22-2006, 03:45 PM

1 Most clips broken on interior panels
2 Rear speakers do not fit in doors correctly
3 Driver's window makes weird noises
4 Right front fender squeks due to a crappy install by me after my accident
5 Mad scratches, dents and dings
5 Headliner is pretty beat, carpets are damn dirty, and interior forever smeels like Taco Bell

rugerm44 · 04-22-2006, 04:47 PM

New timing belt, tensioner,idler pulley,waterpump,all with 21,000 miles on it!Makes me wonder whats going to happem with 70,000 miles on it.Just to cheer me up.I go and look at all the recalls on ford,gmc and dodge and chevy.Why cant soemeone build one right the first time.Sometimes it feels like I bought a ford.Now the older toyotas 91 to 94 I think are having cracked steering linkage causing steering failure.That sounds good.But so dose the 05 gm trucks.They have a sub standard bolt on theirs that fails and have no steering either.Looks like a crap shoot no matter what you buy.

surf4runner · 04-22-2006, 08:50 PM

i hope all those repairs have been made from 2004

drivers window rail, window still usable
warped rotors

KyleT · 04-22-2006, 08:53 PM

1996 Limited 146k, i have replaced:
all front ball joints and control arm bushings, steering rack and endlinks, and the lift.
Problems:
drivers side rear seatbelt tensioner, both rear seatbacks rattle on occasion, clunk in the front end, and the stupid middle steering rack bolt is jammed in there and I have not been able to get it out and put a new one in. antenna fell into the fender, I need to permanently mount my Sirius radio tuner and antenna and mount my scanner and CB and antennas.
I do what i can, balancing school full time, working 40hrs a week and trying to go to the lake as much as I can. then messing with the truck.

MossyRocks · 04-22-2006, 08:59 PM
