1984 Toyota 4Runner Service, Tires & Repairs

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota 4Runner tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When evaluating your driving conditions, think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for winter and one for summer. Other drivers prefer the convenience of all-season tires. They make one trip to the tire shop and they're pretty much ready for rain, light snow, or sun!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota 4Runner tires online.

We sell tires, but we also service them and care for all the around-the-wheel components. We're a tire store that also offers professional tire installation, maintenance, and rotation, along with complete auto care. Shop 1984 Toyota 4Runner tires online and schedule an installation appointment.

A few different aspects can influence repair costs for your 1984 Toyota 4Runner, like

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Toyota  4Runner. But if you can’t stop it, it’s as good as scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best.

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care.

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Toyota 4Runner's suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. When your car has an alignment service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as Toyota intended. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1984 Toyota 4Runner, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Toyota recommendations.

To start, we’ll consider the location of tire damage, the type of issue, the size and scope of the damage, and the amount of wear on your tires.

If your 1984 Toyota 4Runner tire puncture can be repaired, we'll follow three basic steps to repair it: (1) Separate the tire from the vehicle wheel, (2) fill in the area that’s been punctured to prevent damage from moisture, and (3) seal the inner liner with a repair unit to prevent air loss.

Toyota recommends having your 1984 Toyota 4Runner’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Outside of Toyota-recommended oil change intervals, your 4Runner may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips.

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your 4Runner’s engine. The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Toyota 4Runner engine tune-up services. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. The standard Firestone Tune-Up includes new spark plugs (and installation!), a thorough inspection of engine components, and a lifetime parts warranty*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your 4Runner. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. Yet another service is a fuel system cleaning process, which involves removing varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits that have built up inside the fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate in your 4Runner. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your 4Runner can determine what kind of service it needs. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.

We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure.

To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system.

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance.

Every service performed at Firestone Complete Auto Care includes a multi-point Courtesy Check. First, a technician will pop the hood on your Toyota 4Runner and test the battery to see how much charge it has left – and determine if it may fail in the near future. After we’ve inspected your Toyota 4Runner’s battery, we’ll visually inspect your filters, lights, wiper blades, alignment, tires, hoses, belts and fluid levels.

While every visit to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care includes a Courtesy Check, we can also dig deeper and perform a Complete Vehicle Inspection on your 1984 Toyota 4Runner if you prefer. In addition to a visual check of everything that's included in a Courtesy Check, a Complete Vehicle Inspection also includes an examination (by hand!) of your steering, suspension, brakes, and exhaust system. This inspection is aimed at informing you of any major problems that could require preventative maintenance.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 1984 Toyota 4Runner is essential for long-term engine health. To keep your radiator functioning, Toyota recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Toyota 4Runner cooling system. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks. If you’re about to lose your cool over a too-hot engine, rest assured that your 1984 Toyota 4Runner is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care.
