want to trade my 91 4runner for older 84-89 4runner

the4x4runner · 04-04-2006, 07:38 PM

I have a 91 4runner and LOVE it, but have always wanted one with the removable top. I am looking for someone to trade a 84-89 in good-great condition. I have pictures of my 4runner and info all about it at http://bama.ua.edu/~morri028/4runner_page.htm
Im located in the south east. I am in school at the university of alabama but am from georgia and am there alot too.
The 4runner runs and drives great with no problems at all. i would like an older one with the same attributes.
Let me know what yall have and maybe we can make a deal.

so it has over 200k miles? has the engine been rebuilt or timing chain/head gasket replaced? i have an 88 4runner 3.0 5sp.

yeah, 209K but i think it runs better now than when i bought it in 2001, I had Toyota replace the head gasket in 2003 along with the timing chain.

I hope you don't get rid of the Amp and things in that rig, or otherwise I would definetly trade if you weren't so damn far away

Chapman88SR5 · 04-05-2006, 09:11 PM

are there ANY noises coming from the engine? and i dont really get the whole ignition thing? also is the front bumper bent in the first pic?

sry for all the questions but im interested but i didnt want one with this high of miles

Noises: normal combustion sound, soft tick of the electronic fuel injectors, nothing out of the ordinary. The mechanic from toyota who installed the new head gasket and timing belt said the the engine looked really good inside when he had it open.
Ignition: when you insert the key and turn it to ignite the engine, the key will not always engane the starter. I have wired a relay so that when that button i put in is press, it turns that starter which causes the engine to start. The engine will start 100% of the time, but turning the key to start it doesnt. It might be that i need a new key ignition assymbly, but my method has worked great.
Bumper: yea, the right side is bent down about an inch. I ran over a highweay cone that got wedged between the tire and the bumper for half a second and pulled the bumper down. i could probably use a jack to force it back.
thanks for the questions!
