    have you ever looked into any of the adhesives they use in autobody. 3m, lord fusor, evercoat and valvoline all make really good products. probly the best would be the evercoat since that one dont take a special gun, just a typical calking gun is all you need.

    I would look into MAP-ECU and see if anyone has had any success with one of those on a DSM. They are/were limited to like 32psi, but not many people run that much boost(that only want a piggyback, anyway). The Supra guys have had decent success with them, but the word on the street is that the older ones were kind of a PITA to tune.

For codes, look online for a site that specializes in 4runners as there might be a pin or two to jump with say a paper clip to get the code to flash on the dash like on other older OBDI cars... BTW, How do you like the 4runner? I've kinda been lookin at em since they are cheap for 94-95($1500 or so), but have heard they are underpowered...whats your thoughts? I really like some things, others not so much. It's a little underpowered with the small v6 but it rides 10x nicer than the other early-mid 90s SUVs I drove. Also, there don't seem to be many out there without rust above the rear wheel wells. I'll probably have it at tailgating on Saturday Tony so you can check it out then.

    Either refinish them, or just leave them. I sorta like the vintage/beat up look.
