Bought me a 90 ext Cab 4x4

Hey guys I bought this 1 owner 4x4 from my buddy . He kept it up but just decided to buy a 4 door 09 Tacoma 4x4 and sold me his pride and joy . He just got tired of fixing little issues here and there he said the older he got the less he wanted to work on pick up truck . Me and my brother have been after his truck for many years and guess who got it . I'm going to be working on it maybe in a month or so I have some other cars I need to sell to put some money on this Toy . Want it done right so came into this forum for some help . Hope you like it .

My New Pup Simba , my wife got him after my old blue pit passed away in January . I had him 11 years

Need a new bed and fuel sending unit


Does anyone know what other newer year bed I can put on my truck , is pretty rusty .

And does anyone know if a sending unit from a 1995 4 runner will work on my gas tank ?

And if upper control arms from 95 4 runner will work on my truck . I'm new to this and I've search and couldn't find anything they look very similar

Try a dealer site (my favorite is http://parts.lakelandtoyota.com/), find the part you're looking for, then click on "What this fits."

says your upper control arms are the same for trucks from 1989 through 1998!)

89-95 bed fits no issue, 84-88 Will fit but have slight alignment issues and looks fugly.
a-arms should fit with out issue. Too bad I just dumped the leftover stuff from when I did my SAS, would have sent them to you if you covered shipping

I have bought parts from them. Interesting about arms being the same 89-98. I had a 97 Taco and thought the uppers were shaped slightly different for the coil over. Learned something new. I wonder what changed in 99.

Did I say all trucks? Did I say Tacoma? ;^)

The '98s listed on that website were T100s. Tacoma wasn't in that list, so I don't doubt they were different.
