I just picked up this 1986 SR5 4runner for $1700. The guy I bought it from said it was a 'Special Edition' but I have yet to be able to find what this entails. It had all the factory options, A/C, Cruise Control and a sunroof. I'm only the second owner, the guy I bought it from purchased the car at Fullerton Toyota back in 1986 where it was a dealer showroom car (this is why it had all the options). It has a few small problems, but I think it has some potential.
Right off the bat I made a few changes to it, I bought a new front bumper and some 31"X10.5" BFG ATs.
After that I got really sick of the purple bubbly tint so I replaced that with 5% limo tint and stripped the stickers off the sides. In my opinion they made the car look older. I also threw in a Alpine CD player and some 6.5" speakers in the rear.
This is my first 4-wheel drive truck so this is all new to me but I'm excited to try something new. The 4runner has impressed the hell out of me, the engine has almost 300,000 miles on it and it runs strong. It also manages to get 23-25MPG which is nice. It's pretty good on gas, but I daily drive my civic (40MPG).
