I got them from . . .

. . . Well, i got them from Ebay here a few months ago, but, I searched again to try and find them & guess what no luck. I will do a search for aftermarket tails for you and post up what I find . . .

 

1984,1985,1986,1987,1988 Toyota Pickup/4runner tails

Hey man & members, found a link for some aftermarket taillights for 84 - 88's, here they are. . . decent pricing & about $20 a pair to ship . . . Prices total range from $87 - $93 shipped ! Mine are the black ones (see picture below), Ide sell mine $65 shipped if anyone was serious about them, they are still in perfect condition. I use paypal and would prefer to use that! They use to have these on Ebay but I havent seen them in forever, some sites sell for $150 and up so this is a much better deal!

how hard was the solid window to install? im doing the same swap as you did. i just dont want to remove the slider only to find out i cant install the solid window myself. so, you got any tips for the install?

 

How 2 . . .

( Glad you asked ) To remove the slider is really quite easy. I took and opened my slider windows, I then grasped the top of the middle of the window thru the window, I then pulled lightly to release the top of the seal in the middle, after you open up the seal and pull a little the window will release all its seal along the perimeter leaving the bottom seal still resting on the cab, lift it up and out of the lip and walla, that parts done. If you have any silicone or sealant on the window this will be a little harder to accomplish but, works just the same with a little more effort.

( To install the window like I did, you WILL need 2 people, as I did the traditional rope in method ) I highly recommend that you clean the new seal in the sink with some warm and soapy water to get all the grim off, its amazing how much grime can be on it. After that, install the seal on the window to be installed. Then install a 1/8" - 1/4" wet ( soapy or lubed, I just used baby oil and hot water ) rope in the lip of the seal that is left after putting it on the window, I used a 15 rope. You want the two ends to be at a central location, for mine I choose the top ( I had to lengths 6" - 8" sticking out at the top inside the cab, have your buddy or helper place the glass on the bottom of the window lip on the truck to start install. I set my window in on the bottom and made sure the seal was on the inside and pushed to one side ( mine was the bottom drivers side ) as the bottom corners can be a pain. When this part is done have your helper press the window against the lip of the truck close to the moulding to where you will be pulling, start pulling the rope along and out of the seal to seat the window as your helper is pushing, youll see the seal appear on the inside of the cab. When I got to the middle-bottom of on side done, I then moved to the other length of rope and repeated the process until the rope was fully out of the seal.

All in all, this is very easy to do, I personally think changing a couple of tires is harder ! In the end you can save about $50 - $100 by doing it yourself, and itll only take about ten minutes to remove and install the new window. Heres a link on a Ford sliding window on pictures of HOW to do what I did. Big important note ( I hate Fords but for some reason its the only one I could find right of hand in a general search, Sorry, to put that name on this site! ) Read over it a few times and youll have it! If you want take pictures of install and post your own version that would be killer . . .

cool, thanks man. i will be doing that this coming weekend. i will try to take some pics too.

 

Got my toyotaminis member name and truck name on



and . . .



From my most favorite site online except this one . . .

http://www.immortalgraphix.com/

" Whatcha think ?"

" I'll be gone for a week on vacation, so bare with me if I dont respond back "

 

Looking good!!
You still have the Minis sticker?

 

yes i agree looking good!!!

how much for the site stickers?

 

Which one(s) ?

I dont sell the stickers, I had 3 made @ http://a2zdecalz.com/ they ranged in price from $8 - $13. You can order custom stickers by whatever size or whichever color you want at many online vinyl sticker sites. Whats nice about custom sizes and colors is, you pick what size fits your needs, and what color you like, unlike some sites that offer 1 - 3 basic stickers and only a few colors. . .

 

Like the one you have one the driver's side back window. I thought you got a couple. Thanks for the site info!

 

truck looks good on those wheels, nice!

 

Thank You !

 

Okay added the new bumper/valance/grill

Today I added the new 4x4 1987 - 1988 toyota grill, the conversion bumper brackets, the 92 - 95 chrome 2wd bumper & the 92 - 95 toyota valance, as well as, the new clear turns . . . Pretty easy swap, just took my time and tested patience on a few parts . . .

Before . . .



&



Stripped down & painted chassis black . . .



Continued below . . .

 

continued . . .

Conversion bumper brackets painted chassis black and installed . . .



After pictures, rough time including breaks it took me about 3 hours between cleaning painted and such, I'll let the results speak for themselves . . .



and the side view that most everyone swears will not line up, well, it does, lil tweaking to do, but the lines are identical in following the fenderwell . . .



Overall, I like the look, semi-easy install, took some time and test fitting, as well as, adjusting, but in the end I think it turned out well ! Whatcha think !?

 

Looks real nice, dam good job.

I can't wait to get a 4X4 bumper on, mine is all out of wack and just doesn't look that good.

 

looksgood!!! what you do with your old bumper?? wanna sell .. or were you get all of the new bumper stuff.. can you let me get some part numbers so i can order exact parts.. looks good!!!

 

Thank You's and Links . . .

First of all, and most importantly, Thank You for the kind comments, I appreciate it alote !

The parts I tool off were given to my brother in law, so I'm sorry can't sell em', This combo looks much better anyhow in my opinion . . . I got my chrome bumper and valance from FBIrides.com and below is the exact parts I ordered, I paid member price and even with buying a membership I saved quite a bit, cause I am ordering a few other things from them soon. You can find these same parts online, like Ebay and alot of other sites, but, prices and quality vary, my bumper was good quality chrome all the way around, the valance, was ( okay ) had a few tweaks and 2 holes didnt line up but, overall it installed very easy with some patience. The links . . . including the bumper . . .

* * * Don't forget to top it off with clear bumper turn signal lamps and dont be like me and ASSume you wont need pigtails, cause you do ( lesson learned ), hence junkyard or friends * * *

 

thanks bro!!! verry helpfull.im not really a clear person... i like amber now can i still use 4x4 fenders?

 

Yes, it will not affect fitment . . .

 

very nice, looks great, i recommend the f.b.i. membership, it saved me and my friends a bunch of dough.
