welcome to the forum!

nice looking T4wd. how much did you have to pay for it? where are you located?

my favorite:

Beck Arnly no longer makes parts, they resell other vendors parts. And they are no longer the quality they once were. this happened after a buy out a number of years ago by a large parts supplier. clearly the geniuses thought they will improve profits by selling cheaper parts. The last thing I order...

I would suggest the "picknpull" brand: go find the parts that fit, and gives you some lift, trial and error. cheap and fun experimenting on your own car.

as I recall the Schneider cams are new billet and fairly costly. Forum member Synth used a Schneider on his rebuild with a weber carb, but went back to the factory cam as it was way too much cam for a street engine. though I do not know what grind it was, if they offer a more mild grind they may be ...

the 4ac low end will help, more displacement. when you rebuild it you can also mill the head to raise the compression ratio a bit as well to add a bit of power, but do not go too much. And you can overbore the cylinders to get a bit more displacment, this will require oversized pistions (if you were...

I do not think there would be much difference with a lighter or heavier flywheel on larger heavier wheels and tires if you use proper clutch technique. A heavy duty (more heat resistant) clutch will serve you well if you intend to do a lot of off roading. What you need to keep heavy wheels and tires...

I have had some bad experience with cheaper belts, one time on another car (that had 3 different belts to drive each accessory), brand new belt failed with about ten mins of drive time, and took out the other belts. leaving my wife stranded with an overheated car. I once bought a project tercel wher...

sounds like you are getting a lot of bogus speculations from those that do not know exactly what they are talking about. All 3a engines have the massive flywheel (heavier than any other Toyota engine at the time), it was designed to go into their entry level FWD car. Almost all of them went into 2wd...

How did you verify parts from RA are USA/JPN?

Usually in the detailed description on their website, when you click on the "more info" link, it will say country of origin. sometimes they list the manufacturer, and with the part number you can track it down from there.

I have found the factory gauge very reliable and accurate, though rarely the sender do go out. you must determine if it is indeed running hot or not, you risk severe engine damage and extensive repairs if your assumption is wrong. you can buy inexpensive mechanical temp gauges at most autoparts stor...

I saw a guy with a utility trailer loaded up like that and had a tire blow out. went and bought a spare and put it on, got another block and the other tire blew out. car tires are not meant to be loaded up like that, at fwy speeds they can get overheated and blow out. cross winds look like being any...

check spark timing, and operation of both mechanical and vacuum advance. sounds like timing could be too far advanced. also, check that fuel air mixture is not too rich when off the throttle. the EFI should take care of this but something might be causing a rich mixture when it should be lean. clean...

I would advise against the lift on a daily driver unless you have a specific reason for needing it. that would be to clear larger tires, because you regularly drive on deep rutted/rocky roads and need the extra inch or two of clearance. Unless your suspension is in good operating condition you reall...

the carrier bearings is actually mounted in big squishy rubber mount, usually it can be moved around by hand but it should not feel loose. if the bearing or the u-joints have play, they are bad, but the rubber mount should be pliable and flexible. unless it is clunking around when you accelerate in ...
