 Don't EVER put those chrome rust traps over/around your lock-outs.  they are
 nothing you need.  They may look good at first, but they just plain cause
 problems.

 Forget about the Jacobs doing much of anything to help actual performance.
 Try these things:
 - -better exhaust
 - -header
 These are the easiest ways to get some power.  You can get a header for as
 little as $110, and the exhaust will run you about $150 to $200 at the average
 shop.  Get a better muffler & some larger diameter tubing.
 If this still does not get you enought power to get by, you will need the
 gears.  The gears will help you out later if you go to larger tires (33's?)

 Ummmm, are you sure? Bet you've never been in 4 feet of mud  ;)
 Also having the torque to pull a truck out of a bad situation
 can be handy too.>To tow something this heavy, that you would need>that power, it would throw the little toy all over the road (way over the>tow rating, due to weight of truck).
 I agree completely, but I don't tow anything. I do sometimes haul a load
 of dirt or gravel. The 383 would be a welcome increase in torque over
 the stock 22R for that purpose though.>You would be able to turn some heads>for sure, but it would definately be over kill in a truck that size. If>you don't want to change your gearing you better think about running some>huge tires with that low revving, torquey engine.
 Naw 35's with the stock 4.10's shoyuld do just fine. Most likely it
 would go in front of a TH700R-4 anyhow.>Forget about freeway speeds. Due to the way it was built (for towing)> this would have torque you would never realize in such a light vehicle.> Especially since it would effectively lower your gearing so much.
 I have a well built Monte carlo SS for "Highway" speeds(And then some!)
 I'm not sure I follow when you say it'll lower my effective gear ratio.
 Do you mean because of the different torque curve? If so, the 383
 produces something like three or four times the torque across the entire
 rpm range.>I'm done arguing about reliability,>the truth is the truth.
 So, you've come around?   ;)> But geez, you might as well swap in a Catarpillar>engine!
 GOOD IDEA! Seriously I've seen BUILT 350's with much more hp than this
 mild 383 sitting in Toyota pickups and they worked fine. The 383 WAS
 an option because of the price. Unfortunately, it now belongs to some
 kid :(>For those of you tired of seeing my name on swap posts, I'm no dumbass,>just an instigator. I never took anything seriously, so I'm assuming>ye'all can take things lightly too. What is a world without humor?

 From: Rob Boyle  Subject: longer drive shaft
 I'm gonna be picking up my new Alcans wed. and will be needing to
 lengthen my driveshaft to compensate for the 1" forward mounting. I had
 an idea I wanted to run by the list. I have a spare shaft to work with
 and was pondering the idea of welding a 1.5" piece of slip yoke to the
 existing slip yoke. I know I still only have 6" of yoke travel to work
 with, do to the 6" splined shaft. If it ends up bottoming out under
 compression it would be easy to cut a little  off the slip yoke, then
 limit droop with a strap. Is this the kind of metal you can weld? I
 would of course have it welded by an actual welder.

But now i'm hooked and trying to learn more and more about trucks.  i'm considering headers and a new exhaust system (mine is rusted out) but this truck has 227K mi on it so will need a rebuild soon.  I look forward to learning more and getting into 4x4s.

 From: "Terry L. Bush"  Subject: Re: Center Caps w/ Manual Hubs
 Thanks everybody for the good info. (I definitely don't need any more rust
 on this truck)
 I mentioned that I called and even went by a Toyota dealership.
 They said no-way.
 So that is  when I posted the original E-mail.
 Ken said in a reply  E-mail,
 "Just go to Toyota and tell them that you have the factory aluminum
 wheels and you need the front plastic trim pieces that go around the
 front manual hubs. I have three Toyotas sitting around the house here,
 an '86, an '87, and a '94 with ADD, so I am familiar with what you are
 talking about.   And yes, the wheels are all the same from 1986-1995."
 Right on Ken,
 I went to a different Toyota dealership and they let me look at the center
 cap options, and I was easily able to pick out the caps I was looking for.
 You can most definitely get the black plastic SR-5 center caps for a manual
 hub. I have ordered them and they should be here tomorrow.
 I also needed to order new rear caps, the ones I received are in excellent
 condition but have the new Toyota logo instead of Toyota written out on the
 cap. I believe the 87's had Toyota written out, so I want to stay as
 original as possible.
 Anybody need 4 center caps for auto hub SR-5 wheels?
 Thanks again for all the good info. regarding this issue.
 I guess now it's time to get my fingers bloody polishing these new wheels.

 From: "Terry L. Bush"  Subject: Re: Jacob's ignition
 I have an 87 Ext-Cab 4x4 Truck with 22R.
 I was interested in hearing the followups on this one, since I want more
 power too.
 What brand headers do you suggest?      price?
 What exhaust would be the best, but still quiet.       price?
 What about the Cat Convert?
 Would the Jacob's be a good addition to the headers and exhaust?
 If so do you need all of the Jacob's stuff? (I think they sell a super
 coil, some kind of computer, and something called an Omni pack.)  I am sure
 a new set of Jacob's wires, along with new cap and rotor and plugs would be
 good too.
 Look forward to the advice.

 I mentioned that I just bought the new Tacoma Limited Ext-Cab TRD.
 Awesome machine!
 But I still have the 87 Ext-Cab Deluxe 4x4 Truck.
 I know it doesn't make any sense, but the 87 is begging me to drive it.
 It is telling me to cater to it. Bring it back to it's glory. Constantly
 saying to me "hey I am better than that fancy new truck." I love driving
 this old truck!!!!!
 The ladies like the new truck, so it is a good purchase.

 The stock Toyota unit Is good enough for normally aspirated application and
 stock compression ratio. You would hardly notice any improvement if there's
 any.  If you upgrade from point type or weak stock ignition it might make a
 lot of difference though. My friend has it in his CJ, it make a lot of
 difference but not on Toyota. I  have energy pack in my Samurai, it also
 did not produce any noticeable improvement. (maybe it is noticeable in high
 performance engine run on the dyno)
 If you want to spend $200-$300 you might better of with the new power
 filter from K&N, it replace the filter box and piping with  a more
 aerodynamic unit.
 The header would definitely help. So is a high flow cat.

 Would the Jacob's be a good addition to the headers and exhaust?  If so do
 you need all of the Jacob's stuff? (I think they sell a super coil, some
 kind of computer, and something called an Omni pack.)  I am sure a new set
 of Jacob's wires, along with new cap and rotor and plugs would be good too.
 Look forward to the advice.

 I assume the stock toy center caps on a 94 pickup with manual
 hubs and steel wheels are only cosmetic. It looks like the
 front ones *may* protect the hub at little, but I doubt it.
 Do the center wheel caps have any functional value at all?
 How about more harm than good - I notice the dreaded cone washers

 David ,,,Back in my old hot rod days, we did our own header coating by
 heating the tubes with either a propane torch or if available, a large
 oven. After getting the tubes good and hot, we simplied sprayed the
 headers with either stove paint or just high temp header paint. IF you
 do it this way, also spray as much of the INSIDE of the tubs as you can
 also with high temp black paint. Don't ask me why , but it really helps
 keep the outer paint in better shape  .
 We mostly pained ours black, but have done a few in high temp white
 whith lasting results....

 Some others on the list could better explain ignition systems, but I will try
 to give a short one.  Ignition systems are thigs that can only do one thing:
 work best for that engine.  If it is performing below this, you will suffer.
 I think a Jacobs systen is a waste on a stock Toy engine.  I got some Magnecor
 wires ($60) & I love them.  They work great, and even eliminated ignition
 noise bleed through in my stereo (try their web site for some good info on
 ignition stuff www.magnecor.com).
 Good wires, good plugs properly gapped, a good coil, (and working ignitor)
 should do all you need.> along with new cap and rotor and plugs would be>  good too.
 Cap & rotor are other things that are easy & cheap to make sure they work to
 their best.
 After looking around, I say stay away from all of these companies that claim
 rediculous improvements from just adding a set of plug wires.  I had a set of
 SplitFire wires, and they came apart the first time I tried to remove them
 (only on 5 months).

 From: "Jonathan Miller"  Subject: Re:Torsions
 I would disagree with the fact that the 26mm torsions "break-in" and then
 ride smoother than stock, based on my experience.  I ran the larger
 torsions from NWOR for about 2 years and they always gave a stiff ride, no
 matter what setting they were adjusted to.  When I finally swapped the
 stock torsions back in, I couldn't believe how much smoother the ride was.
 Of course I was running either 35" or 38" tires (BFG Muds or Swampers)
 during the 2 years, so my ride was not that great anyway.  I was also
 running ProComp 4" Suspension lift, so that may make my situation a little
 different also.
 Be careful of cranking up the stock torsions for more lift, as it
 frequently strips out the threads on the torsion bar adjusting bolts.  I
 have seen several trucks in this condition (And I have had to replace the
 bad bolts, which is a pain!)

 Is the slave cylinder for the clutch supposed to have a return spring on

 having to pull the radiator? Biggest problem I see getting the pulley
 off....
 My air conditioner does not work (compressor does not engage). Jumped the
 compressor and the clutch is good. Checked the fuse behind the glove box,
 its good. Where are all the other sensors (low-pressure, temperature, etc)
 located? I'd like to check them all before I put liquid gold (R-12) into

 The EGR system will always have lots of soot and carbon inside it. EGR
 stands for exhaust gas recirculation, and for smog purposes, basically
 sends exhaust from the exhaust manifold back into the intake manifold.
 These systems are notorious for getting plugged up, etc. Check where the
 EGR plumbing meets the intake manifold: unbolt the flange, and I would not
 be surprised if the passage is partially, if not completely, blocked with
 carbon. Spend some time and clean the whole system. Check the function of
 the EGR valve: a good repair manual tells you how. Basically, you apply
 vacuum to one of the ports in the valve, while the engine is running, and
 see if the engine idles rough or stalls, then you know the valve is
 working. The valves are expensive, $150 and up form Toyota. Don't forget to
 replace any gaskets you need. Also, I hear that Permatex gasket remover
 works great for removing carbon buildup---anyone ever tried it?>Anybody know why my egr plumbing has oily goop inside it?  I pulled it off>expecting to find it full of soot and carbon,  guess I got the bonus plan.

 From: Jim Walters  Subject: Introduction -- new to list
 Hi,
 I am new to this list.  After being without a 4wd rig for umpteen years,
 I went out and purchased a 1987 4Runner to beat around the hills.
 Having owned a Jeep way back when, I am thrilled with where I can go in
 my stock runner.  I did build a pair of disconnects for the sway bars on
 the IFS.  Those give me much better articulation.  And I can pull a
 couple of pins when I need the independent suspension and put them back
 eaqsily for safety on the streets.
 I also cranked up the front torsion bars putting the front end back to
 stock level or a bit higher.  Low profile upper bumpers give just a bit
 more room for the suspension to move.  The addition of Rough Country's
 add-a-leafs in the rear has the vehicle sitting level.
 The rig came with a two tube bumper -- with a hitch connection.
 However, it was installed with a mickey mouse weld job which broke so
 the bumper  fell off when I drug it on some rocks last week.  I tried
 reinforcing it, but didn't get it strong enough and broke the mounts
 again when pulling out some trees.  Does anyone have a strong rear
 bumper that uses a combination of the origonal mounting brackets plus
 brackets that fit into the frame?  I want to get that bumper on so that
 I can use a jack on it when and if necessary.  I also want it strong
 enough for towing or to hook onto to pull the vehicle out of somewhere
 if necessary.
 I'll lurk here for a while.  I would like to hear reports from people
 who have installed limited slip or lockers.  I am looking, but I don't
 want to sacrifice too much, both $$ and handling/noise.  I would like to
 get some places that I can't without more traction. Perhaps I should
 replace the nice highway Michelins with something more appropriate for
 off-road.  When they wear out or end up with a rock through the
 sidewall, I will get something better suited to back-country driving.

 They weren't the cheapest things on earth, but they did bolt right up, no

 What a difference putting on a wider rear axle (IFS) on solid axle

 My friend has Alcan springs all the way around and before the rear axle
 swap was able to back up a loading dock around 32 inches (vertical),
 with rear tires hitting frame.  Now with the wider axle he is backing up
 the whole loading dock, 42 inches vertical.
 Running 4" Alcans with longer shackles all the way around with 1" blocks
 in the rear.  He is also running only 10" shocks in the front.  Would
 love to see it with some 13" travel shocks up front.
 He also has a 2" body lift running 36 Swamper Radials.

 From: Jeff Tamulis  Subject: V8 4Runner
 Hello all,
 This is my announcement concerning my 1987 Toyota 4Runner.  As most
 of you know, I have been spending the last
 several months designing a Ford Mustang Powered Toyota 4Runner.  I've
 completed the swap, and even tho the computer
 is running in "limp home mode" it still runs and runs great.  It has
 LOTS of power, far far more than the 22R (stock 4cyl)
 Motor ever had.  I just got the exhaust done, and have spent most of the
 afternoon giving it small tests (driving to store,
 etc.)  I've invested a lot of money into my truck, and all through the
 swap I was leary about weather or not this would
 come out to be an enjoyable truck.  I have no fears now, as it drives
 very respectfully, and has a good bit of power.  My
 Only concern now of course is BRAKES.  I'm gonna look into the best
 brakes on the market.  "Limp home mode" is a
 mode the Ford computer goes into when all is not right (I don't have
 oxygen sensors in yet, thats tomarrow).  What that
 does is retard the timing, and bumps the mixture real rich, and basicly
 makes the car run like dirt, but it will let you
 "limp" home (hence the name).  Well, I have been told that it runs at
 about 33% power in limp home mode.  If that is
 true, I'm in for a big suprize when it starts running right.  I consider
 it NOW to have the right power range for the truck.
 Its not too over powered, and sounds great.  Talk to ya all later, email
 if you have questions.

 Do you use the Weber Carburetor (32/36 progressive)?  I have this on my
 truck, and get the same problems during the winter.
 I think this carb has three different idle circuits:  fast, intermediate,
 and normal.  Fast and normal are fine as you describe, but the middle
 circuit (while its warming up) doesn't work.  I had always suspected I had
 a little piece of dirt in the carb, but it hasn't been a big enough problem
 to track down.  Maybe its not dirt, since you are having the exact same
 problem?

 Not yet.  The host club (Middle TN Trail Runners) will be pre-running every
 Saturday in May, and I may try to tag along then.  We are headed up to the
 area this Sunday for our club's ride.
 Since I have been riding in the area for the last 4 years, I have a good idea
 of the trails, and I am also guaging this on what it was like at the last
 Rosser event.  The level 3 rides will require mud tires at least 31's (larger
 is better).  A rear locker is also recomended.  There is *some* possibility of
 body damage, though not likely if you just pay attention.
 If you want, I will be there from Friday night on - you can find me and tag
 along with the guys from our group on Saturday.  I will look for you so you
 can sign up for our trail if you want.  As to Sunday, I may try the level 4
 trails.
 Level 5 is for lunatics who EXPECT to break something every day of trail
 riding or it is not a good day.
 I will get some pics of hybrids scanned after the event & send them to any
 people interested in these crazy machines.

 Gregg,
 I'm in digest mode so apologies if this has been covered already.  I am
 also looking at lift kits and noticed that Skjacker and Tuff Country's
 E-Z Lift (?) have teflon anti-friction inserts in the leaf springs.
 The teflon inserts seem the way to go if you want to help your leaf
 springs flex.  However, if you were to go with another kit, you could
 always buy some teflon inserts at your local "House of Plastic" and
 install them yourself.
