You must of had pics of the PO in some compromising situation involving a midget, a dog and some toothless woman.

The CV joints are probably gone on it.

Oh, and of coarse, welcome to Y/T.
thank you, yeah the dude left alaska and left the vehicle in one of his buddies yard and the guy didn't want it so he put it on craigslist as a parts vehicle. its wierd because it was on there for about a week and the kid said i was the only one to reply.

Can anyone tell me a good website to find stock interior parts like, carpet and trim? the carpet in the rear cargo is nasty and the blue carpet has faded from blue to white. and it missing the side panels in the rear too. tail gate carpet is faded and so is most of the plastic. i've always wanted a blue '84-'85 4runner and want this thing to be clean clean clean!!!!

Lucky..Nice score. I am jealous. I would scrape together $400 for that in an instant.
My first one was blue. My favorite color.

At photobucket open an album and then hover over the picture you want to post. A drop down will come up and you will want to copy the last of the 4 links. Paste that to your reply and wa-la.

SAAAWWWEEEEETTTT finally figured out the pic thing, thanks desertcamper. i thought for a min there that i was a retard lol.


this is a pic of tonight, i was cleanin up the front axle and a bunch of the underbelly stuff.
and thats my buddy adam's moose buggy we built in four night last september for moose hunting. it's '79 half ton ford truck with a ranger cab and motor. we kept both T cases and made a nice driveshaft to link up the ranger T case to the ford Tcase. it has disc brakes and ford's version of hydro assist steering. lincoln locker in the rear. 48" military tires and some home made 20's. it took four 4 wheelers and all of our gear aross a big river and up into the mountains. totally totally awesome trip.
