Just picked up this 4runner today, 1989 v6 5spd 4wd, auto locking hubs (sigh). 184k, got it pretty cheap, rusty underneath with the word being front of frame, as seen in pictures, 2 broken brake lines, the line that coil's from passenger front and goes to master cylinder, attachs to firewall I beleive, looks pretty tough to get to, should (can) I order a prebent line from Toyota? Or just make my own. Interior is in mint condition. Top had never been off, any tips on taking off for first time in this 4runners life? Gonna get the frame cleaned up and coated and fix the brake lines and give my 93 pickup a break. Any feedback is appreciated!
The line to the left that I have disconnected My baby, 124xxx miles
looks like you got some good interior parts and a top.
I lived in upstate NY so I know what the salt does but that thing looks like it was parked underwater for a few years.
when you say you got it cheap I take it you mean single digits$
sorry but that thing needs to be parted out IMO

Sounds like a plan to me Zach. I need that interior for my 89 badly
Strange that the frame rotted away in the front. I live in a heavily road salted area and it is usually the rear that goes. You need a frame there is no way around it. I have been painting mine every fall and washing it religiously all winter but rust is starting to appear in some areas. I am considering buying a cheap paint gun and spraying everything inside and out with my used motor oil. I hear that works pretty well up there for the Canadian boys.
That occurs because the front valance has been removed due to the bull bar
(I had a similar issue - but had kept a closer eye on it - so its no where near as bad)

actually I took the front valence off, from my understanding it was on there the entire life of the truck
