ok so i hav ea 91 4runner 4 door and when i got it the spare tire holder was rusted solid with the tire in the back of my truck taking up valuable space what can i do to remedy this i have looked at local junk yards to find tires stuck up there rusted in place
the second question i have is where i can find some tough nerf bars for this truck
thanks

 

Rock sliders not nerf bars can be found at WABFAB on home page under venders advertising. I have a set and will say they are well worth the money and way better then nerf bars.

 

x2 sliders deffinently. and where are you? ebay and someone here might be able to sell you a tire carrier.

 

a hour out side of chicago

 

I had the same problem with my spare tire . I got a brand new one from toyota. I think it cost me about $70.00. it worked for me I have an pickup 89' and needed the bed room . It was easy to install.
Spare tire holder went in with 3 bolts.

 

its the little mechanism that does the turning to lower the spare that gets all mucked up and seizes. ive taken mine out to attempt repairs but you end up ruining it. might as well bite the bullet and get a new one.

at least you know it will work. good luck.

Hey wabbit how difficult is it to install ur sliders in a 86 4runner? Any special tools or welding needed?

 

for good sliders you will need to weld them right to the frame. ive heard of bolt on sliders but people dont regularly use them for a reason

 

yea makes sense thanks
