Kyle, sorry man. while looking around, i realized i threw them out. I do remember holding onto them for awhile just incase somebody would need any one of them but later decided that would never happen. Little did i know. Good luck finding one.

I think you could get away without having that one for a week or so as long as you drive it very easy, slow way down for bumps, take turns slower than normal, etc.

Is it possible you could just upgrade to all new poly bushings? http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/...l#PolyBushings

What about a junk yard?

Thanks for the words. I miss my old 4runner like crazy but i'm currently looking for another one that will get the same modifying treatment.

I got BOXES of old parts that I've kept off my 85 and 87 w/ lots of types of bushings.

What type of bushing are you talking about?

The little metal insert bushing that goes inside the rubber to keep the rubber from getting mashed and that serves as a sleeve for the bolt?

The body mount bushing (black rubber thing)?

Or something else?

Take me a picture of the one on the other side or before you mangled the one you had, and point out exactly what you want cause "bushing" can be several things. I'm sure I have both...just a matter of finding the proper one as I don't see them being that much different 1st to 2nd gen.

You pay the shipping and you can have it Tuesday.

using my master negotiating skills that were not available at 12 last night, i have determined that my problem with the bushing/bolt that i am having in the front is due to the bolt rusting inside of the metal sleeve that it slides down in to keep you from overtightening it. Im sure some of yall know wut im talkin about. Ive done all the beatin possilbe on it and sprayed every goodie i can find around it but its not budgin at all. any yall got some ideas of what to do and remeber im limited on tools and time.
i really appreciate all the help guys. what would i do without Yotatech?

VICTORY IS MINE!!!!!! my friend came over with some kinda torch thingy and got it nice and heated up and it beat right off. SWEET!!!! Now i just gotta see if i can get a bushing from Brian and ill be good. For right now anyway, im just gonna pile up all the old, cut up bushing and put the spacer in and get it all finished up. I would wait but it is my DD and gotta work bright and early tomorrow. Thanks guy for all of ur help. I appreciate everyones quick responses and pictures. This really shows why YotaTech is the best. Ill make sure and take some pics of the final product once i get everything back together and take it for a lil ride.

Okay, I found all my junk...

Gimme some dimensions of each rubber piece. The sleeve is a sleeve.

Of each piece:
Overall height
Top outside diameter
bottom outside diameter

Just so I can match things up exactly.

hmmmmm, that might have to wait until tomorrow. I already put everything back on the 4runner and finished the lift with my rigged front bushing. ITs raining hard now so i dont have time to go out there and loosen all the bolts and pull off the bushing. I did manage to snap a few pictures inbetween showers but i dont have time to take off the bushing now.

Well, you let me what you want me to do. The ones off my first gen don't look exactly like that (the top piece), but the bottom and sleeve are the same. I think it would work regardless, just wanna make sure it all ends up level...might need a few washers to even things out. But I imagine it is better than what you got. Call me if ya want, phone number on the website. I'm out in the shop cutting up stuff, so if I don't answer, leave a message and I'll get back atcha.
