Got on the site to research a build I'm thinking of, and really enjoy it. I've had 4 yotas. I currently have a 95 wrangler with spring over, d44/ford 8.8, high steer, locked,yadda yadda.Yeah yeah, I know. A jeep owner. But at least I'm comming around now, right. I've got a wife and 2 kids that I often take when I wheel, and jeeps kinda suck for 4 people. I find myself being nostalgic for another yota, so here's my plan.
2nd gen 4runner,sas,dual cases,35's,5.29's,leaves in the back,22re(cause I loved mine and didn't care for the 3.0)
I should have about 8k for the build, possible?
I know that 22re 2nd gens are a tad rare.
There is sooo much info on different rear axles, t-cases, trannies that I'm drowning.
Any tech input will be appreciated cause I need it.
Thanks.

Spokane eh!

Welcome From Sandpoint, ID.

I too am going to buy and build a 2nd Gen 4Runner.
I just sold my 85.

yjay · February 12, 2009, 08:17:16 PM

22re?

THK Matt · February 12, 2009, 08:20:50 PM

my 85 was 22RE if that's what you're asking lol

yjay · February 12, 2009, 08:32:04 PM

What motor for the runner

THK Matt · February 12, 2009, 08:48:55 PM

I havent picked up a 2nd gen yet. 3.0 V6 though.
22RE's are too difficult to find.

sweetmeat · February 12, 2009, 09:02:02 PM

THK Matt · February 12, 2009, 09:10:02 PM

Where in spokane are you?

Liberty Lake end? Valley or Northtown?

yjay · February 13, 2009, 06:03:09 AM

East end of the valley near Liberty Lake.

THK Matt · February 13, 2009, 06:39:01 AM

AH, the easier part of Spokompton.. Rad.

I don't like west side. way the hell too confusing.
I was in downtown almost everyday for 3mo in winter 2007.

HATED IT! lol

yjay · February 13, 2009, 05:10:36 PM

The east side is Spoklahoma. Word.....

THK Matt · February 13, 2009, 06:09:42 PM

Spoklahoma....

never heard that one before.

Know of any 89-95 V6 SR5 Ex Cab, Std Cab or 4Runners?

I have 1600 as my limit.

Rocksurfer · February 13, 2009, 09:52:23 PM

yjay · February 17, 2009, 04:52:56 PM

You guys know a lot more than me, so am I correct in that a 2nd gen 4 runner 22re manual has the cool t-case for a 4.7 kit and a dual? Also, is the rear end cool or does it need a 6 cyl 3rd member? Compiling as much info as I can before I build 3 times (like b4)
Thanks

THK Matt · February 17, 2009, 05:22:14 PM

uh..... I believe so on the trans part.
the rear part.... V6 Third is stronger yes.

Welcome, As long as the 4runner had lock hubs on the front stock it does have a gear drive case. A few came with ADD and a chain drive case in the late 80's.

yjay · February 17, 2009, 06:10:35 PM

Thanks. I'm looking for 1990-1995, so it should be the same?

long as it has stock manual lock hubs

you can also crawl under the rig and count the bolts on the rear of the case.

7 bolts on the rear case cover is RF1A (gear)
5 bolts on the rear case cover is VF1A (chain)

yjay · February 19, 2009, 12:42:59 AM

Thank you. That helps a lot.

My next ignorant question: is the only difference between yota axles the 3rd member? In a 4 cyl 4runner is it necessary to upgrade the 3rds to v6?

(bear in mind a budget and the fact that I don't flog my rigs, but do use them)

THK Matt · February 19, 2009, 01:00:53 AM

Not a problem $Beer Chug\'n$

which axles are you comparing? a 4cyl IFS and a V6 IFS? if so, then yes. the V6 is 4 pinion vs 2 pinion and has a larger pinion gear.

personally id find a TRD Elocker for the rear.
you can convert those over to a manual cable locker... making it even more reliable... (doesn't mess up in wet conditions)

off to bed, ill post more tomorrow buddy.

yjay · February 19, 2009, 06:18:51 AM

I'm wondering about the 4 cyl. ifs rear. And I agree the e-locker would be the best, but they're kinda rich. Want to make sure I don't run out of dough before I run out of work. I guess if there's a significant strength difference, I better factor in a v6 3rd. The shafts are the same and don't need to be switched for the new 3rd?
Thanks for helping the needy

the axle shafts are the same...
30spline.

all Toy 8in mini diffs are interchangable 4cyl, V6/Turbo, Elocker (based on the V6 diff)

and not a problem buddy. $Beer Chug\'n$
