Well...if there are any Samurai people in the area, chances are the stole some parts in the middle of the night! Sammy People love Toy parts!!

Other then that, just look for the basics...Start with fuel and spark...I don't remember, are 86's injected, Carbed, or that silly semi computerized setup?

I've got a 4Runner, with 112,000 and the original timing belt. I'm a big do-it-yourselfer, but something about timing belts makes me nervous. Luckily it's a non-interference motor so if it goes it shouldn't (if I'm not mistaken) damage any of the internals.
