There are some cool trucks in this thread already - I love them.

WSUWESTON · 04-05-2007, 10:58 AM

Cool trucks, Yes. But I would rather have your runner

Me too ! I've wanted an 84 0r an 85 4 runner for 10 years.
I probably looked at 25 - 30 before I bought this one. I gave $3500.00
for it but it is in great shape and the frame is solid. The engine was rebuilt a couple years ago and I have the receipts.

The front axle and all the bushings, shocks etc were also replaced and it has a Warn 8274 winch on the front. It came with new Bridgestone 30" duellers
on black steelies.

It don't shake, wander or vibrate - I fell in love the first time I drove it.
The cool thing is that I bought it 1/4 mile from my house ! The guy had just moved to the area from Louisiana and placed it for sale.

He was excited that somebody from Yota-tech was going to buy it.

Sorry for the hi-jack I do like the old trucks though, if the came as extra cabs - I'd like them even better. The cab is cramped !

I'll

to that

Don't have to tell me. 6'3" 250lbs, my interior of both my Yota and DD are way too tiny for me but hey, you give up certain things for vehicles you love.

I was looking for a First Gen since I was about 14yrs old (9 yrs now) and never found anything really nice for a decent price. Sure my 82 is no pick of the litter but give me some time and I'll have it looking pretty nice.

4stAir · 04-05-2007, 03:56 PM

great looking trucks, makes me wish mine was done.

i was gonna buy a newer sas truck but couldnt part with mine so i just ordered the suspension for mine, hopefully i can find some good sheetmetal for it as it has some cancer surgery scheduled for next week. also needs a 22re dropped in to replace the tired 22r swap that i did awhile back.

KevinInSac · 04-08-2007, 09:21 PM

So I figured this would be a good place to make my first post. Now the truck isn't mine, it's my dad's. I plan on picking up a 3rd gen in the near month. Sorry, she's still sitting in the garage now, but she does see day light from time to time.

Details:
Full SR5 package
63K
30" BFG's
Stock everything
Factory everything minus Battery, tires, hoses and front pads.

Not mine, but it's my dad's. I plan on picking up a 3rd gen very soon. Sorry, she's stuck in the garage now, but she has been working on the tan the past few weekends, hence the bed full of crap.

Missing the dome light cover, has a small tear in the bench seat cloth and a 1/2" crack on the dash from the sun. Everything else is in good shape.

When I was looking at replacing my dash pad, I was able to find a guy that would sell me one for $500. Now it was really nice, but f that. I ended up with a coverlay and love it. Pics of it are on my build post if you want to see it. That whole speaker in the dash idea blows.
Loving the truck pics.

This is my old beast. Its an 82 4x4. Rebuilt 22R with header, electric fan, custom 2'' exhaust. Stock height with 235s on it. Even with those stock tires it out did a lifted jeep tonight. Went through the mud like nothing. And as you can see I built a box and bumpers and rock sliders for the best. Also its got Acura seats in it and a custom console.

I'll get a better shot of it tomorrow with a little coating of mud on the beast. I took a pic of it and that LandCruiser thats for sale to give people a size perspective for the Cruiser.
