SLC Punk

If you are getting an 80's model get the 1985. It has the Solid Front Axle, and the fuel injected 4 cyl.

First off welcome to yotatech,
Look for one that has a solid axle like SLC said. Also check for rust around the factor hard top, bottoms of doors and windsheild.
I hope you are a chick cause saying that you like "gettin dirty and 4wheelin" gets you places in the south especially with a name like foxyme.

Might I suggest 5-point racing harnesses and a roll cage while you are at it?

I second the 1985.

PoBoy

I say an 88-89 and sas it (~7 inches of lift). You are probably going to rebuild the axles and throw on a suspension lift anyway so get a bigger engine (v 6) out of the deal.

yes im a girl... cant ya tell lol oh god if a guy said he liked gettin dirty well um i'd be weary.

Welcome to Yotatech and be careful when you roll that vehicle. I second what 96 Runner says.

Any luck in finding a Runner yet? Are you going to use this only for 4wheeling or are you going to use it as a daily driver. How much $ are you looking to spend? The four cylinder if geared correctly is more than sufficient for 4wheeling. You can find a local shop and have them weld in a roll bar for cheep.

uh I live on the lake with 2 wet dogz, 4 Muddy trucks on 3 acres of wooded land, no lawn mower and 2 mudholes, don't be weary cause I am damn sure ho stranger to getting dirty

foxyme

um well since im just 16 it'll have to be my daily driver. but right behind where i live is some good 4wheel trails so i will be on those alot.

Fellow 16 year old huh? Cool.

I would also suggest getting an '85, solid axle is the way to go.

Welcome to the forums...you're gonna love it, just be sure to save up enough cash before you start scanning the topics cause you will need some serious cash to start moddin your new Runner.

So how far is Montrose, CO from Fayetteville, AR?

foxyme

BIGMOOI

I think that is Cool that you are a girl and like to off road that is sweet. I think you also are making a great choice of picking a toy for a first vehicle you will never regret it. oh yeah and welcome to yotatech there is alot of knowledge here you can learn somethin new here every minute.

Fink

You were born in Fayetteville or Montrose?

Are you trying to play matchmaker there <96?

Fink

foxyme

i was born in arkansas -- however u spell that haha--
ya um anyways yep yep. ya 96 wut up wit that??
oh ya i will definetly have the roll cage!!!

AgRunner06

That's too funny.

We don't have too many girls on here that like to 4wheel and play with their trucks. I guess you could say this is somewhat interesting.

My vote would also be for the '85.

Well good luck on the search.
