Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Turns out it is 1990 2-LT Surf.
In great nick. Only the axle seals were leaking (blocked diff breather).
Apart from the sunroof (cable and I wold not use it anyway), everything works.

So I bought it.

Thanks for all the helpful responses....lol


(tumbleweeds rolls past.........)

I have the opportunity to pick up a very cheap 1993 Turbo diesel 4Runner. I already have a Holden V6 (formerly 22r ) powered 1991 petrol 4Runner so I am familiar with how these go. Anyone on the forums owned or own a turbo diesel and what are they like? Acceleration, towing etc? Any common probs to ...

Can anyone assist me with a contact for decent quality replacement parts for a 1990 Surf (actually a 4runner but I need some Surf parts). I am after front guards, bonnet and tail lights(the type with inbuilt reversing lamps...ergo Surf) and NON electric window type front and rear arm rests in blue ...

"i dont think they put ifs rears up front in a solid lux they put ifs rears in the rears and solid rears up front" That is incredibly clear...lol If you read the whole thread it is even clearer. If the poor bloke was not confused before he sure as hell is now...Rofl The should be an award for these ...

Thanks for bringing these things up.
If someone else doesn't raise them I won't know what things to sort out.
I do appreciate your input.
Simply answering the questions you have raised has helped me nail down several potential problems already.

From what I can see from the ADD workshop diagrams and info sheet the ADD is a totally self contained system which does not rely on any input from the gearbox or engine. Input comes from the transfere which will remain in the vehicle or the button on the low range selector stick. All I need is to ...

I just discovered that the 4L60E has a factory tranfere case option fitted in the US to Chev 4WD's.

Also I forget to mention. I have the entire car and have isolated the loom from the ECU to the engine. This has no direct connection to the the main loom. I have the BCM and all the associated bits but I cannot see how it comes into play as it is not connected to the ECU part of the loom. How does ...

"Only if you have ADD now and you go for the T700, the transfer will need to be changed to a gear driven type and the VSV's for the front diff will need manual switch work, or install free wheeling hubs and have the diff ADD constantly engaged. Also the output shaft of the T700 will need to be ...

Thanks for the reply.
I am not sure what you mean by "Crossup steering", I have IFS and it seems the only thing I will have to move is the steering damper....at this stage.
Good luck with yours. keep us up to date.

I am putting a VS Commodore V6 into my 1991 4Runner. I just about have everything I require for the transplant but want some input/suggestions from anyone experienced in these matters. First I will list what I think I will need and what I have. Engine........VS Ecotec V6...in a wreck so I have ...

Correct me if I am wrong but it would also have to have an electric fuel pump fitted to the tank also?.

Great stuff.
Thanks, I hope you are right that would save me some cash.
Thanks for the reply.

I need to know if a V6 1995 4Runner fuel tank (EFI engine so it has the swirl tank built in) will fit in the same posi as the standard tank in a 1990 22R 4Runner?
I need an EFI tank for a Holden V6 transplant.

I have a 1990 Forerunner 5 manual . This was originally a Euro Import with 2.7ltr petrol but the donk gave it up after 400,000klm and I popped in a standard 2.4ltr. Electric sunroof, IFS(rules devilman) I have used this car for work and play from towing 1500kg trailers on WA beaches to towing a 8x6 ...

I only know I paid fro an R150F.
It was off a Jap import Bundera though.
I got it off Dumbdunce who seems to know his shit.
Haven't had time to clean it up yet,but if your right about it being a R151 I'll let you know.
When I get time I'll take a snap and post it.

Yes!This a Turbo Bundera box and transfere.
By the way what is the problem with chain drive transfer's.All the heany duty boxes seem to have them?
I am not planning any radical rock hopping.Mainly beachwork,hills(like the Brindabella's) and the usual bush track mudhole sought of off roading.

I can reccomend any Toyota. Ya can flog em and bog em,hit em with a stick. Drown em and roll em and fix em flick. S&*T that's pretty poetic. It's a common known fact that Toyota parts grow wild along most bush tracks right next to the holden parts (like the same climate ya know.) Honestly,bloody ...

A bit of a misfire won't cause any damage in the short term...long term you could carbon up the head a bit.

Heres something to try at night. Start your car. Lift the hood and using a pump spray with water in it spray fine mist around the coil lead where it goes into the coil which should be on your R/H guard looking at the engine. If you see a major "FAT" blue spark and the engine stalls you have a ...

I am assuming here your 22R is in a Hi-lux? My car is a 4runner and the ammeter goes to 18v. I have heard that the early regulators had a problem with the exciter coil. This apparentky turns off your batt light as well as doing something mysterious to the alternator.I had a problem with a regulator ...

My ammeter shows my alternator regularly charging at 16v. I am running three batteries though. It has always charged at 16v from memory and have never had a problem.The 16v has been double checked with an independant meter and is actually 15.8v Haven't had the light come on though. Hope this helps ...

I have an R150F Bundera box which has an offset rear transfer.(Bundera has offset rear diff) I am putting it into a 4runner and the offset,while still a workable set-up may interfere with the new Turbo exhaust system and existing fuel tank. Just in case I need to change transfer cases. What model ...

BJ, Good man.Someone to bounce things off. I am fitting a 1JZ-GTE Twin Cam Twin Turbo my 4runner. R150F box and a few other mods at the same time. I have heaps of info and contacts if you need any help and will contact you,if you don't mind for any assistance I might need. Is you donk a 7M-GTE ...

Sorry a moment of light heartedness,too many hours on the net on three different forums at once. Seriously though,I have spent about 80 hours on the net researching.Another 20 hours at my local wrecker,who happens to be a mate,with the veriers and a tape measure. He has Surf and an 80 series out the ...

I have an 80 series coil sprung,disk brake rear end axle to axle and I have a surf coil sprung,drum brake rear end rear end axle to axle. I will put them on stools and then take out my trusty verniers,then with a prayer to the great god of all bush mechanics I will push my thumb UP on my 4" grinder ...

Definitely agrre with Ruff.Your existing breaks seem to have a problem. Try and sought that B4 spending the bucks on a rear disk conversion. I am putting 80 Series disks on my 4runner as they have they inernal drum type hand-brake shoes.Your right you have to use an FJ80 master cylinder to get the ...

Thanks for the link Bogged
Just what I was after.
Cheers
