New member, new '90 4runner
 

So I just bought a '90 4Runner and thought I'd check in. I have a feeling I'll be turning to you guys for advice and answers quite a bit.

A little about me: My name's Ryan, I live in Hapton Roads, VA and this is my first Toyota truck. Not my first Toyota, but my first truck. I'm a donating and contributing member at Maxima.org, though I think the Maxima is going to be my wife's now.

The 4Runner is a 1990 SR5 5-speed, red for the most part. I'll get some pictures up pretty soon, but it definately shows it's age. 151,000 miles and apparently used for farm work becuase there's hay all over the inside.

Already I've figured out that the clutch slips under heavy revs and the throw-out bearing should probably be replaced when I do the clutch. The sunroof opens but doesn't close, the rear hatch doesn't open, the rear window goes down but not up, and every speaker is shot. Mechanically, she feels great though. What are some common 4Runner problems that I should keep an eye on?

TIA

Welcome to 4RF! Well, the common problems are the dreaded rear hatch and/or window issue, which you have already discovered, and the auto tranny locked-in-park (whichyou don't haveto worry about). Which engine do you have?
