1979-1995 Toyota 4x4 Builder's Guide - How To Trail Your Toyota
When Toyota switched to IFS, it used the IFS 7.5-inch front diff. This diff can be fit with lower gears and a locker, but the suspension capability is still limited compared to that of a solid-axle and leaf-spring setup.
IFS components include upper and lower control arms, shocks, and steering linkage. The torsion bar is also visible just above the framerail. A cheap way to lift an IFS Toyota is to "crank up" the torsion bars to create more ride height.
IFS trucks use an idler arm that needs to be addressed once the vehicle is lifted. The idler arm mounts to the passenger-side framerail and works with the pitman arm on the steering gear to control steering movement. Idler arm truss supports are available to provide additional support.
When a rear disc brake conversion is completed, the factory parking brake in the rear drums is eliminated. All-Pro offers its transfer case-mounted disc parking brake to replace the factory setup in either rear drum- or rear disc-equipped vehicles, and it hooks up to the factory parking brake cable.
A stock front driveshaft from a solid-axle Toyota can be used to create driveshafts for an SAS vehicle. Often the shafts will require modifications, but if you supply the proper CV, then you can save some money.
The interior of Toyota pickups and 4Runners can be addressed in many ways. This 4Runner is equipped with aftermarket seats from PRP.
