That is correct. Removing the bearing races took a lot of determined tapping with a drift, but they were interchangeable between hubs The inner seals are pretty flimsy and are next to impossible to remove without damage. They're cheap tho, about $5 at AutoZone.

Hey, that's mine! Here's some more info on my swap, also quoted from the Yahoo group: "The service manual page I included shows the six lug hub in a bubble in the upper right and seems to suggest that it will just swap in for the five lug hub. That's what I did and it fit just great. The swap does require different calipers. The six lug rotors are thicker and I don't think the original calipers would fit around them. As you can see in one of the pictures, the 1T calipers are considerably beefier. I did my swap on the cheap. I got the rotors and hubs including the six lug to six lug deep dish adapters, the 1T brake calipers, and the dust shields from a 1990 Ryder truck at a U-pull salvage yard for $70. The bearing races in the hubs I bought were pitted, so I pulled them and swapped in the races and bearings from my original hubs which still seemed to be in good shape. The brake pads weren't worn out yet and while the rotors were a little rusty, they didn't have any grooves worn in them, so I let them be. I couldn't see any difference in the dust shields, but since I had them, I swapped them anyway. I don't think I would have needed to. I cleaned the bearings thoroughly and packed them with new grease. The only new parts I installed were inner bearing seals and cotter pins, so the entire swap cost me less than $100 and a few hours of labor. I got six wheels with my 1T rear axle when I did that swap, so I already had those. It probably would have been wise to swap out the bearings and brake pads, but I was short on cash. It wasn't difficult to take them apart, so I wouldn't feel bad about doing it again to replace those parts when necessary." Brad 84 Sunrader 180RD FtC CO

Sounds great! Any pictures of the updated interior? Brad FtC CO 84 Sunrader 180RD

I did that swap on my '84: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/toyota-campers/photos/album/1273577737/pic/list Not sure about the previous generation.

I'd be inclined to do that myself, but SR-5 seats have been few a far between and the ones I've seen have been thrashed. Besides, the OP was inquiring about nice fresh new aftermarket seats.

I think these look pretty nice: http://www.corbeau.c...eats/sportseat/ They have custom bolt-in mounts available for Toyota trucks. I"ve seen them listed at several places for around $640 a pair with free shipping. Not outrageous compared to some other aftermarket seats. Anyone have any experience with them?

Great idea Steve. Would love to see pictures. Brad 1984 Sunrader 180RD

I believe that you are correct about the aspect ratio of the 185R14C tires being approximately 82. While 195/75R14 passenger car tires are certainly easier to find, they are more than an inch smaller in diameter and are unlikely to have an adequate load rating for an RV. In some cases, the sidewalls of wider tires have been know to touch when they're used as duals, leading to failures. I'd strongly recommend making the effort to find the correct size with a Load Range D rating. They're out there.

Those GMC's were very cool. They used the same front wheel drive powertrain as an Olds Toronado.

Pretty sure those are Saab seats based on the shape of the headrest.

They bolt on in place of the original bump stops. Anyone tried them? http://www.timbren.com/timbren-application-guides/toyota.htm http://www.timbren.com/timbren-application-guides/application-pdfs/TOR2002.pdf http://www.timbren.com/timbren-application-guides/toyota.htm

Hi, My '84 Sunrader has 198,000 miles on the original 22R with a 4 speed MT. It uses a little oil, but still runs good and gets 16-17mpg. Brad FtC CO 84 Sunrader 180RD

Hi, Don't know about adding a 12v element, but I've run the refrigerator and water heater continuously, used the stove regularly, and even run the furnace a bit on a week long trip in my 18' Sunrader and only used about half the tank of propane. Running the refrigerator on 12v will run the battery down pretty quick. I only use the 12v option while I'm driving. Sounds like some folks leave it on propane then too. Brad 84 Sunrader 180RD
