88 4Runner, 85k, $1299 OBO -Wash DC Area
**Piston Slap** Still runs great, but it's there.
1988 4Runner. 85k original miles. 2nd owner. $1299 OBO!
Sadly just installed (Professionally) in last couple hundred miles:
<> Timing chain and related
<> New clutch kit installed
<> Water Pump and hoses
<> Engine Mounts
<> Fuel Filter/Air Filter/Etc.
<> 4 Brand Spanking New, less than 10 miles, BFG TA (KO) tires.
<> Marlin Crawler Shifter Seat
<> Optima 34R
<> O2 sensor
<> Front/Rear Brakes
<> Lots of other stuff
The body is in good shape, 4wd great, actually runs pretty dang good, no overheating,etc. However, there is a "diesel" sound at accel and decel. Couple shops say its rod bearing or piston slap. I bought this vehicle to take overseas. I'm out of time to fix her or I would do just that, but that's not an option for me.
If you're looking for a decent 4runner, have the time or just need to canabalize it, its a good deal. Just let me know.
In Northern Virginia off the metro. Truck runs great and should take anyone home.

Saw this on Craigslist, nice truck. Couple of questions:
-Which Engine?
-Auto or manual
-Does it pass emissions?
-VA Inspection good until when?
-Where exactly in NoVA?

Good questions -- sorry I missed them:
- 22RE
- 5 Speed
- Passed NJ Emissions/Inspection on 10/2005 prior to purchase. Vehicle now titled/registered in Texas (Military) so no VA tags. Had Bill Page Toyota put new 02 sensor last Wednesday. They said truck was fine. Go figure.
- In Ballston - Arlington, VA.

Interior is in good shape - there is a tear on the driver's seat and a small crack on the dash around the coin tray. The console, etc., is in good shape - no cracks or chips that I see. I'll try and get photos this afternoon. The entire truck is vinyl, no carpet.
