I know about the cam timing adjustments... When I towed the 73 Buick to Tennessee from Florida, I advanced the cam 1 tooth on the gear. Peak torque was felt from 1600-3000 rpm, but it fell on it's face soon thereafter (perfect for that trip, though).
Shipping used diffs would be hella expensive. I *might* be able to find boneyard diffs someday, but I haven't even seen a Hilux in the yards yet.
I was hoping there was something out there that I might have missed for power, but it doesn't look like it. Yes, I can break 100 mph, but the conditions have to be right. All speeds I have referenced were indicated, not actual... So in reality, I am cruising at about 90, and can break 115. Just saying that if any conditions change above 90, it quickly falls below 75 (not good when in the passing lane on the Autobahn).
I'll have to talk to "David in Germany" about it. See what he has done to his 87 4Runner over here. I can't see a stock 4Runner surviving very long.
Before any changes are made in this department, I will be adding more security mods... All the neighbors are commenting on the rig, and they all love it. Seems to be the consensus of the German population that an old 4Runner is the coolest thing on the planet. I don't think it will be long before someone attempts a "test-drive" in the middle of the night.
I will *not* put 28" rubber on... How rediculous would that look with a 3" body lift? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />
Thanks for all the suggestions... Multiple minds are always better than one, so keep them coming.
