Fitment on this one is narrow by design: the 1986 Toyota 4Runner service and repair manual is tied to this model year and to the exact engine and trim combination your truck left the line with — the 2.4L four that Toyota built for it under the 22R-EC and 22R-TEC engine codes — so every clearance, torque figure and procedure sequence in it is what Toyota published for that build rather than a value carried over from an adjacent year of the same nameplate.

Known issues on the 1986 4Runner. No recalls are on federal record for the 1986 4Runner. Owners have still logged 13 complaints for the year, and Toyota has issued 8 technical service bulletins covering it — together, the public record of what actually came up on this truck.
Whether you are running down a symptom that already shows up in those owner reports or working out which of the seven listed 4Runner variants — right down to the G52, R151F and W56 splits — is the one in your driveway, the manual keeps you on the specification Toyota wrote for that build.
