Hey guys just wondering if there are strut tower bars for our cars? I tried to google but only found parts for the 7g. I am also not sure if stuff from the ae92 would fit or not.

Anybody?

I did a similar search & also came up empty...then went to autopartswarehouse.com. They have them for the '93-97s, but not All-Tracs. Wish I could say yes, but it doesn't appear so.

Actually, based on my own discussions with other non-All-Trac owners, it may be possible.  I once saw a Toyota Corolla wagon (non-All-Trac), that the owner had put on strut bars; unfortunately, I neglected to ask from where he
got them.   So then I went to a junkyard and found two mid-1980s Celicas that both had strut bars, but they did not appear to fit.  They were a few inches too long, and I wasn't in the mood to do any serious welding.

But, it has been done before.  Check out this Australian guy's http://www.turbocorolla.com/cars/larsc.htmTurboCorolla.  It's the most heavily-modified All-Trac-style (but in Australia it's called a 4WD wagon, but it's functionally identical to the All-Trac) that I've come across.  He did an engine swap with turbo and air filter, and a strut bar, as and other mods.  I'll post this in the Models forum as well.

Yes, I've seen that car before - sick mods all the way through it. Let us know if you find out anything more...and thanks for the input!

I don't see why the standard AE92 strut tower bars won't work. Someone's had to try it?
