Hey everyone, long time lurker, and have benefited from from the wealth of knowledge here. I have an 86, 22re auto non-turbo, and I hate to bring this up, because it seems to be something of “ghost issues” from the posts I’ve seen here. But the console switch for my rear glass works (slowly, like everyone’s), and I’ve done the bypass in the tailgate that makes the rear door idiot light stay on but makes it work, regardless of the tailgate position.. but the switch or tumbler in my tailgate will only make the rear glass go down, but not up (it seems obvious that this means that the switch that the tumbler affects is not closing the switch necessary to go back up), but I can’t seem to find the part number I need to replace it. Any help for finding the part number for what I need to make the window go back up with the key from the tailgate key actuated switch would be awesome. I apologize in advance, as I have tried to find the solution through various online resources, but I can’t seem to find a part number or work around. I’m open to a “hack”, if that’s the only solution.
Also, you guys are awesome. I truly appreciate a group of people who like to see these fine machines to their full potential (mine is NOT as nice as several I’ve seen here)🤣
What type of coolant are you fellers running in your 22REs? I'm currently running prestone green but I'm wondering if that's a bad choice since it seems to cause corrosion.
Hey y'all, just bought my 86 and need to reinstall the rollbar that the previous owner had removed. What size bolts secure it to the floor? Thank you!
Looking for a skid plate for my 86 landlord threw mine away
First time heading to King of the Hammers. Taking the rig to drive around and explore and have some fun before it gets real crazy with the races. Recommendations for things to check out or go see while there are appreciated.
Does anybody know the part number for the overdrive light bulbs?
I
It looks good on her. We don’t have salt, plows or anything around here. It’s crazy. Apparently in my town it’s the most snow ever in recorded history.
Thinking of deleting the sun roof on my 87 4runner sr5 it’s all rusty and the ones I see out there are expensive any thoughts or is it worth fixing ?
Just a little update on the progress and color.
Looking to replace my tires and don’t want to just rely on advice from the tire shop. What do you recommend for a stock height 89 on Bilstein 4600s?
Hey yall, 1st post but i’m only probably going to ask 1 question and leave forever. I was looking around for 1st gen front bumpers and I found this one (hopefully it actually showed up). I did some looking into this one and people say the business that made that bumper, Downey off-road went out of business in 2009. Can anyone help me find another bumper like this one that doesn’t have to remove the stock bumper and that also has room for 2 lights. Thanks
Hi! Not sure if anyone can help but I have a 1993 model and it’s making a fast and loud knocking noise that completely disappears under acceleration, any ideas what this could be?
