Thanks Chef. I'll make sure to get ahold of you if I do run into problems after I get the rebuild and full exhaust system. Although I really hope it wont need anything else after spending all that $$$ on parts and replacements. Hopefully I get lucky and pass the first time.

Se its all good. Was just wondering. Was worh a shot asking lol. Well I really don't need to replace mine. I just really need to find a 5th rim that matches mine or at least resembles it a little since I'm planning to eventually get a rear bumper/tire holder.

Telling you, Redeth.... GOTTA be a way to just weld the "???" carrier that RBX has up to the 4XInnovations rear bumper! ADI? What is the name of that one RBX has(couple other have too)??? I think they went out of biz for a bit but are now back or something? SUPER heavy duty, but more of a box style bumper, not tube.

OR< like I said, "Get a 4xi bumper and then go to the Pick-your-part and for 50$ or so, grab a 2nd gen one and beef/support bracket it up a bit? Then, just fit it to the 4xi bumper after having a couple add ons welded up for ya? lol....

Oh yea ice seen RBX's bumper build. It's pretty cool. Personally I like the tube look best though. I want a tube bumper not only because I like them but also because I plan on getting the tube front bumper by AddictedOffroad.com eventually. So I want both bumpers and Sliders to match as tube

Oh YEAH! I see them on every other 2nd gen in the yard! I could have grabbed like 3 already. Say "TOYOTA" right on the back, too! They're heavy duty, and most every one I've tested(other than the wrecked ones of course) have opened and closed just fine. The joints look really heavy duty... BUT WHAT DO I KNOW? they may be crap... I just considered Toyota to think things out, ...maybe by 94 or so they were really sturdy? YEP, the plate on 2nd gen 4runners(yes, 2nd gen 4RUNNERS, not PU's) is moved over and the tire carrier allows it to be seen. So that has to be modded on 1st gen runners and 2nd gen PU's... but SERIOUSLY... it's doable! Why not stop by a yard and see if you could make it work. You could cut off the mounting portions, OR just weld 3/8 Strips to mount the carrier too, above the tube bumper and running up the corners in rear? It'd take some work, but maybe it'd be much easier to just find one that's made to weld right up to the 4xi????
