I got some things my 93 deluxe didn't have and some fix it items too at the pick-n-pull yards around me.

1. SR-5 full gauge cluster-for upgrade
2. Air box, the bottom and upper lid with MAFM-To replace a bad one
3. Throttle body-To replace a bad one
4. Lighted cig lighter and lighted ashtray-Upgrade
5. Driver side tail light cover-To replace old one with a hole in it
6. Battery tray and hold down and j-bolt-To replace the ones not in truck
7. Rear 4WD mud flaps-To replace bad ones
8. EFI intake screw-in unions-for extended axle breathers
9. Sliding rear window interior locking latch-Replace busted one on truck
10. Window crank-passenger side busted

Got everything for a 10th the cost of new, worth the search!!!!

Items still needing:

1. Steering wheel colume upper cover - it has 2 holes in it from a PO tach.
2. Top windshield chrome trim - Truck one is missing.
3. Frame hole plugs - Truck ones are missing.
4. Try & find in dash coin holders in 4runners that fit truck interior blank covers like the cover under emergency flasher button.
5. Metal clips in side kick panels that hold it to the metal next to dome light switch.
6. Undamaged interior door panels-Old ones hacked up from PO speaker installation-Or might just put new speakers in there.

I bet there are more items, but it's 2:20am my time Eastern Zone and I'm tired, so I'll add more later :}

To build more pressure though you will need to pull the head off, remove the solenoid & jb weld one of the passages. After this you can pump up to 160 PSI. Now this is a small pump & great for a small tank like a 1 or 2 gallon tank. I have used them on a 5 gallon tank as well but the compressor gets pretty hot & I wouldn't recommend it. If I had one laying around then I would take pics of what needs to be done, but I don't. sorry. I may pick one up next time at the pick a part & do a little write up.
Can someone post a pic indicating what the air pump looks like/where it is when mounted in the Caddy? I looked last week at lots of Caddys in my local boneyard, but either none of them had one, or I didn't know what I was looking at. I would really like to snag one for the 4Runner.

Out of a 90 or 91 4runner for my 92 Dlx pickup. Besides finally finding my grey sr5 seats (in good condition), i grabbed the rear view mirror/dome/map light . Also, didn't realize the passenger visor has a mirror in it so grabbed that. Grabbed the license plate holder from the swing away tire mount (I liked the classic look of it and will somehow mount it to the rear). Got real lucky and scored a sr5 truck center console (the one with two compartments) a wonder that was left lying around. A seat belt shoulder pad???? I dunno if that was an option or was aftermarket, but it matched the fabric on the seats. And someone posted about the lighted ash tray and lighter so grabbed that, but I opened my dash up and don't see any electrical connection for it? maybe someone did a write up on installing it.

Some of the goods...

Here is how I wired up a lighted cig lighter and ash tray, cut off the connector off your new used lighted cig lighter and ash tray and strip all the wires back a 1/2 inch, the white wire and 2 green wires are the ground and I used a yellow male connector, the truck had an L shapped connector and where the white wire was at is the ground so plug-in the newly put on yellow connector, now take all the red wires and put them in a male yellow connector and insert it into the other empty place on your trucks L connector and waalaa all done with the wires now put it all back together.

You should post that under a separate thread like "How to install a lighted ashtray/lighter mod" so people can search for it easier in the future!

Yes, it helped me, very easy, thanks. I just need to buy some spade connectors so it will plug into the L shaped connector.

I nabbed one of those 4runner spare tire carrier plate holder/lights (actually got the whole tire carrier).

Plan on mounting the plate holder on the rear cagework on my desert truck.

Also, dunno if it has been mentioned but the cabs on 85-88 trucks have the captured nuts on the drivers side for a grab handle. Bolts right in. So if you wanted a drivers side handle, grab one of the passenger side of a truck next time you are at the boneyard.

has anyone been successful at adding a handle to the A-pillar on an 84-88 truck?

i want to add an A-pillar handle on the passenger side. i grabbed an overhead handle and an A-pillar trim piece last time i was at the pull-a-part, but there doesn't appear to be the necessary anchor points behind the trim piece in the 84-88 trucks, like i assume there is on this '94 truck pictured.

I have 92 stock rear springs front and rear on my rig, I found that 73 to 79 ford F-150 rear springs will give you 6" or more lift, all you do is take them apart and marry the leaf packs to your main Toyota leaf! I can clear 35's with tons of room, my profile pic was per ford springs, I will try to post pics in a day or so
