Hey guys im new to these boards, and new to toyotas all together so please dont flame me from the start. I crashed my car in the rain recently and am looking at getting a 4runner or pickup, for some minor offroading / daily driver. I found a 87 4runner on craigslist that has the following.
1987 4runner SR5 EFI Turbo
4-cyl 2.4l turbo
189,000 miles
4WD
Auto
Gray / Gray
Sound system / alarm / tint
I talked to the guy and he said it needs rear brakes and the front tires are getting worn down. What should i look for in this truck that could be wrong with it? It looks like a great deal and hes asking $4,000 for it. He said the timing belt / chain has been replaced and the water pump. He said he barely even used 4x4 and he bought it from a lady. Hes selling it because he has too many cars and its just sitting in his garage. So what imput do you guys have on this? Is there anything wrong with the 87 4runners and will it be a good truck for minor offroading / snow trips to my friends cabin? Thanks a lot guys, these forums seem pretty cool.
