I don't think i'll really need to go that far forward, seems to work alright for most I guess without mods. Thanks

Does already having a bodylift and raised radiator help in getting the ifs box further forward?

Generally the way to do it is, disconnect the fuel pump solenoid and try start the car. Injectors will pulse no fuel will pump and all will be good.

Edit:3y alternator upgrade and electronic dizzy

Been reading that the 3y alternator is a joke and am looking at maybe going with thermo fans, dual batteries (for fridge) and stereo. Am just wondering what's easy enough to fit without extensive work. I can easily get a new bracket fabbed up from my brother just the wiring I guess is the problem ...

Got my rocker cover on and all is sweet, seems like if I leave the car not running for maybe 2-3 weeks it's a prick to start, seems to lose fuel prime in the fuel lines. Has all new hoses, clamps, fuel filter and there's fuel in the tank. Will update first post with pics of the car and a bit of work ...

Been looking around and it seems I may need to play with the load springs/loading of the springs for the RUF to take the extra weight of the engine. I would of thought the rear springs would be weighted up for the extra weight being a 4runner and for load carrying capability? As well being that ...

I had a 3Y in my 4runner. Not the fastest thing in the world running 35s on stock ratios i admit. The 4runner has 4.88s as stock ratios so you can only change to 5.29s which you need a 4.55 diff centre to put them in as the 4.88 centre is offset too much. With 2inch IFS rears, 2inch RUF, and 2inch ...

85 4runner project

Bought a 85 4 runner with a 3y motor a few months ago, slowly fixing it up. I've had the head machined (rusted water gallery) new head gasket, lapped valves, new valve seals, swivel hub kit and axle seals, checked the wheel bearings, new front brake seals, just need to check the rear axle seals and ...
