32s and 4.10s :/ thinking of a cam, hows engnbldrs rv cam? ive been looking at it.and tranny fluid may be in the future.

Yeah, it's gonna have a hard time on 32's with 4.10's. 4.56 or 4.88 would make a big difference.

I've only heard good things about Engnbldr. I got their timing chain kit and everything was good. When I get a cam it will be from them. Their prices are good, from what I've heard about their other products it's all good, and their customer service is EXCELLENT. I' sent an e-mail asking what all was included in the timing chain kit and got a response a couple minutes later. Put in my order and got a confirmation e-mail a couple minutes later. It shipped the next day they sent me the tracking info same day. So yeah, very good place to deal with.

sounds good man. ill hit them up when the time comes.

problem with my gears is i have aussies, which is sweet. but its not the right gearing, which isnt sweet. and its my daily, so i cant exactly wait around to sell em and buy a different gear ratio. any ideas? ive already put em up for trade lol.

I now know about ring and pinions and that the fact that i have aussies is almost irrelevant to the gears. lol. im still learning.

yodafan93

so i got a question, forgive me for it, as i know very little outside and engine bay. if i regear with a locker, do i only change the ring and pinion? trying to decide what to get for christmas, some 4.88s or 5.26s seem like a good idea lol.

B-Fake

Yup, just the ring and pinion get swapped, I'd go with 4.88's unless you're planning on tires over 35", with 32's 5.29's might be a little too low.

I have 33's with 5.29's and it works just fine.

As far as the power goes, Like others have said, its not built for power but for reliability.

My buddy just got an 86 4 runner 22re and the biggest issue hes trying to overcome right now it getting used to having a 4cyl. Especially since he came from a 6cyl jeep and having a 5.0L mustang as a second vehicle.


Nice Runner By the way

well, like i said about the power before, just want it back to stock power. and it has about that. but now i think my tps is acting up, i need a new timing cover, and the damn cold start injector time switch is bad. replaced the connector and it started running like crap again.

yodafan93

and thanks for the compliment. im thinking 4.88s will suffice for now.

Look for some factory 4.88s in your local yards.

yodafan93

how do i identify 4.88s? also im pretty sure itll be difficult find an 84-84 that still has a front axle in the "local yards," lol. i was thinking to just order them from wab fab.

A rear diff(84-95.5) will fit in the front and rear of our solid axle '84s. I'm not certain of later years, I believe there are some mods there. Anyway, I found 3 factory 4.88 4runners in my local Pullapart. So I snagged two rears for my '84.

Axle code on door tag is G144 I believe. Erik's differential page explains it. http://home.4x4wire.com/erik/diffs/



Or you can just get Wabbits stuff. It's good too.

yodafan93

wow. lol. thanks, like i said i dont know anything about gears. so a rear ring and pinion would fit in the front? never would have guessed. and my local pullaparts dont usually have toyotas. and if they do theyre in a yard that over prices everything. it's frustrating when youre charged 20$ for a bent and rusty wiper arm you pulled yourself. and another thing to mention is my 4runner came with the original owners manual for an 84 4runner/pickup. and the date says it was produced in 84 but the vin # says its an 85. guess its when the 85s first started rolling out. ive heard doing a ring and pinion is quite difficult. anyone have an opinion on the job difficulty?

8, 9, 10, 11, 12/1984 would be considered a 1985 I believe. What's the production date of yours? Mine is March/1984. And considered an '84.

yodafan93

nov, 1984. also i fixed the time switch issue. i let my buddy work on it while we were at school. and he's a bit of a repair hog. turns out he plugged it it backwards. so i finally figured that out and it runs fine. i got a new wiper motor on the way. and im gonna try and get my drivers window crank working.

It's an 85 model.

yodafan93

thats what i figured on account of the fuel injection. i didnt think it was an option for 84s.

yodafan93

thinking of doing a hysteer and ruf and chevies in the rear. anyone know how hard this would be? also if it would be alright for a dd? i have zero welding experience. and i have searched threads. most people dont daily it however.

The hysteer is a great DD mod. I did mine in the driveway and I also repacked my bearing and replaced inner axles seals and all other outer seals/wipes. I have approximately 50k miles on my hysteer and its been awesome. Got all my parts from Wabbit.

As far as the ruf and chebbies, I have no experience. But Wabbit is fixing to do TG rear springs/shackles for me, and also front shock hoops, and shocks all the way around. Seemed to be the cheapest fastest option for me.

yodafan93

in your driveway? nice. how long did it take you? and yeah i decided if im gonna get new parts im going wabbit. still gotta find time to go out and find some 4.88s.
