Re: Shocks for my All Trac...TURTCEL

My car doesn't actually sag at all...but when you put a load in the back it definitely drops down a bit. I am going to try the round rubber spring spacers mentioned by DLB...looks super easy to do and I will do a set of shocks at the same time as well. The shocks are the factory ones so the are read...

Re: Shocks for my All Trac...TURTCEL

I found some old but new monroe air adjustable shocks that are able to be pumped up when I need them. Have left the old springs on as the shocks are now doing a bit more work. they fit tercel and some other old cars as well and have a air valve that I can increase the pressure on when I need them. ...

Shocks for my All Trac...TURTCEL

Any of you Corolla Allt Trac owners or previous owners have any advice on what shocks I should get for the rear on my 1988 Corolla DLX All Trac Wagon? I am wanting to get a stiffer shock so that the back end doesn't sag so much with a load. I know most of the forum members here seem to like KYB for ...

Re: 1986 Toyota Tercel 4WD All Original - $5000 (santa rosa,

So the craigslist ad says 210000 miles and the forum ad says 126000 miles on the car...just curious as to how many miles it has.

Re: Tercel body transplanted onto 4runner chassis?

Im guessing it is powered by the 4 Runner engine then. Nice upgrade all around if you ask me.

Re: brownie gets a face lift, my 86 2wd

HaHa, that makes it a "sleeper", right?

Car looks good...desert colors, or close to the original paint color?

Re: Got an All Trac to add to my fleet...TURTCEL

I am not looking to up my tire size. I would just like to up the wheel size to get rid of some of the wishy washy feeling when driving with a tire having such a large side wall. Just like the Terc...I would like to put 14 inch wheels on that too for the same reason. I got the 14 inch tire size optio...

Re: Got an All Trac to add to my fleet...TURTCEL

So I am wanting to buy a set of aluminum wheels for the new All-Trac . I am going with a set of 14 inch wheels and was wondering what tire size to go with? I see that the factory option was a 185/65R14, are there any other options that anyone would suggest? The car is an automatic so I don't want to...

Re: Got an All Trac to add to my fleet...TURTCEL

Yeah I ended up replacing the cracked manifold with a new one. Local parts store actually stocked a complete kit for $110 with a lifetime warranty. Fit perfectly. I do need to replace the front flex pipe now. It separated at the flex joint and the pipe when I was removing the manifold. Go the manifo...

Heck Yeah!!!! Glad to hear that Everett is an official Maple Leaf now. Sometimes inspectors can be overly nitpicky...as well as completely blind to other things.
