I'm back in the game...

Some of you may remember me...
I owned a green 92 4Runner... Sold her a while back and seriously regretting it. Out of all 7 cars I've had in less than a years time, THat was my favorite. Even over the Audi and WRX

Anyway... I recently bought another one, though... It's an 86 SR5. has 167K miles, 5 Speed. it's in next to perfect shape. The rear bumper was a bit bent up so I took that, and the hitch off. Looking for trail bumpers. Interior is in amazing shape. No rips, Seats look unused. carpet can stand to be cleaned but other that that, it's clean!!

Wanting to lift it, cage it, and turn it into a trail rig. Anyway, Pics.


Old one


New one (Total down grade)

that's not a downgrade at all man. the old 80's 4Runners with the 22re are way better than the newer ones. plus I like the black with brown pinstriping that looks sick. If you don't mind me asking how much did that 86 set you back?

Thanks guys! I bought it for $1,300. and the Previous owner and I are getting pretty friendly. There's a bonus I didn't expect. I got a great deal.

It's more of a charcoal black color. Needs tires so I was thinking of getting another pair of stock toyota wheels... Maybe some newer Tacoma wheels.

Anybody know where I could fine a decent set of trail bumpers, for a reasonable price?

As DD they tend to need a lot of maitence. I have two. Sometimes reliability of getting to work on time is a must.

Yea thats a clean truck...nice find. I love first gen 4runners.

Just wanted to jump in and let you know that I'll take that rig off of your hands for 1400$ since you seem to think it's a downgrade and don't want to DD it.



Great looking rig!!!
