And I see what they're doing... they're going by the same little "drop-down menu" to search on year/make of vehicle which for 4runners...only goes back to 1987. I suppose I could just order the CURT I'm looking at in JC Whitney for ~$130, and send it back if it doesn't work...but what a pain with shipping costs and all. Why don't they include the '84s - '86s? Do they mount differently?

I had a local shop make one for about the same price a most of the newer model hitches and it was very nicely done. You might consider checking out a local welding shop or hitch installer to see what they can offer. Ask at an RV dealer to see who they refer to for hitch installations.

Not sure pu hitch fits 4runner. But like the other reply check a local welding shop. You might be suprised. It might be cheaper or the same. I built my own for my 87 xcab and saved a pile. Mind you I had technical resources. Keep the Shiney Side up. Support our troops.

USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler As far as I know, all the 1st gen 4Runners ('84-'89) have the same basic rear frame rails and mounting holes, at least the ones I use on my rear bumper brackets: r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: receiver hitches [Re: 4Crawler] #803360 04/07/07 04:05 AM Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 241 Aurora, Ontario C canuck Wheeler Wow that looks like a complicated hitch.

Anybody know if the frame at the back end of the 1st gen 4 runners is the same as the 87 xcab pu. Or if different advise what difference is. not a complicated one. roger that made those outer thingees to mount to the frame. all commercial class i/ii hitches i've seen, including the ones i had, only had in the inner frame attachment points. most 4x4 places that sell bumpers include the outer "wings" mounting point. since we all know how much they take abuse... lol... leo d. 90 4runner, v6, auto, WCOR CitB kit, marlin duals, arb rear, tt front 4.88, blah, blah, blah...
