sounds like doing crown molding

Wraparound windows making me insane. The right window was the first one I made. At the end of the day it turned out to be 1/8" too short when I turned to it to do final trim to size. So, had to buy an entire 2nd 4X8 sheet of plexi and start over on the right window. Cut first one and promptly bent it the wrong direction and made a left one instead. Cut second one and now it's ready to start the trimming process. Glad I checked my sanity at the door upon beginning this Sunrader project in October!

Others with stock ceiling height may be better qualified. I am in midst of a full renovation and took the time to arch my ceiling with 14 curved aluminum spars and guess I have 6'1" headroom (I'm 5'10"). I dont know what stock height is but perhaps someone will grab a tape measure and tell you?

it would be quite a bit cheaper to convert it to 4x4 than to buy a factory 4x4 Sunrader.

Im mostly into liteace, townace, hiace cars if anyone has information on theese? it might seen strange but is there a golden year thats got a really good gasoline engine between 1980-99?

@MaineJedthanks we shall do! Gotten many a compliment about the old girl and if it weren't for the leaks and lack of 4WD we'd never think of changing it up @IdahoDoug sorry I meant the height in the motorhome portion, as 6 foot tall people will we be bonking our head on all the roof or just the AC?

Welcome! Not sure what you are asking. You say you have seen Sunraders that solve the 4wd and height issues, meaning you'd be happy with those. Then seem to ask if that height would work for you two? More clarity?

Love the picture, I’ve got the same model as yours and love it. Enjoy the adventures.

Hello everyone! Girlfriend and I are hooked hooked hooked on the Toyota RV lifestyle after buying a dolphin unseen in Utah and driving it up to Skagway, Alaska We loved everything about her (cleo dolfeeno) except the leaky seams and the lack of 4x4 We've been oggling and oogling and seen some magical sunraders which solve both these problems bit we're both just under 6 foot and would love a little insight from owners about if this is a deal breaker? Thanks so much and so stoked to be a part of this community

Jason, would love to see your source/order when it pans out. I am renewing rear bushings as well and would just duplicate your order for convenience if you dont mind posting. Thanks in advance.

Thank you Linda s

The links are there just need bushings.

Here is a better diagram with all the necessary bushings and parts for the end links with part numbers. Googling part numbers brings up lots of places to buy. Stabilizer Cushion #48817-30020 | Autoparts.toyota.com Linda S

After much testing, swapping out alternators, checking fuses, and digging into diagrams, etc, I've determined that, of the the three wires that connect to the alternator (not including the large B+ post wire), the RED wire is dead and has zero voltage with Key On Engine Off. The other two wires in that 3-wire alt connector, the white and the yellow, seem to be doing what they should be doing and show close to battery voltage, which is about 12.6v at the moment. (Sidenote: the truck runs and idles very well... until the battery runs way down, of course.) Anybody ran across this before and/or have a suggestion to troubleshoot the red wire? This wire is supposed to carry 12V from the ignition switch to the alternator, far as I can tell, but it looks like it's probably shorted/cut/chewed-through or something. I'm thinking I've got to trace the route through the entire harness, somehow, or just run a new wire from the fuse panel at driver's feet out to the alt. But, you can tell me if I'm wrong! 😀 I've got a question out on YotaTech about all this too, but I know people here are pretty quick to respond, usually. Thanks as always.

They are there. The part discontinued is the whole metal end link. Here are the bushings 4881730010 4881514160 Linda S Ignore that it might say front. Same bushings for rear

the links werent on the donor ?

these are the main bushings on the end links I’m having trouble finding. Discontinued and can’t find online.

Thank you! I did check this parts website and it does have the leaf spring bushing but the sway bar or stabilizer bar end links are apparently discontinued. Just need bushing and maybe the washers and nut but it show the links in an exploded diagram, all the parts I need too but discontinued. Don’t know where else to find, looked online with no lead.

Hey Everyone. I had the Dolphin at an RV repair center. The Tech showed me that it is the converter. Not getting over 11v output of the converter. It's the original converter that is 32 years old. Hopefully the RV repair center will have time for the replacement converter this coming weekend.

This page should have all the bushings but it also has some stuff you don't need. You can sort through them https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/parts-list/1990-toyota-pickup-2_wheel_drive/power_train_chassis/rear_spring_shock_absorber.html?filter=(d=USA;1=3VZE;4=STD;5=ATM;6=4HC;7=RCB;8=WT;9=HLF;11=EFI;13=IV6;14=T1;0=VZN95L-TWSREA6) You can also search this site to see what other types people have bought. The poly bushings are supposed to be better, like Energy Suspension. I just don't know the part numbers for those Linda S

I’ve looked online and found multiple but want to order the right ones, need to find some leaf spring bushing for my 1990 Toyota pickup project that im doing a rear end swap to a dually from a motor home. Also need the bushing for the sway bar and end links but I’m having trouble trying to find the bushings for the end links. Just wanting to make one order that’s correct so I don’t have any delays.

No don’t worry about it.

Hello, all. I have a 1986 Nova Star with the fiberglass shell. If I use FRP, I am creating a second vapor barrier, correct? Does anyone have suggestions for other bathroom wall materisls to avoid moisture and mould growth, especially from condensation inside the wall? Is this even something I should worry about?

Thank you i will check it out right away

Not sure if this helps. My son lives in Okinawa and is into old Subaru’s. He has bought them from a website named Goonet Exchange, google it. They are very good to deal with and from what I can tell it’s like a Japanese website that caters to dealers putting their inventory on and selling to individuals. The website has many many vehicles and may have something you’re looking for.
