Are my eyes deceiving me or is the trans case in 4-lo? And if it is, may I ask why?

And that truck is a long ways from home....(Alaska plates...)

It is Veritgo found a business owner that has been around Toyotas all his live he explained that that pattern was used on very few Toyotas and i found a very rare find....he was inpressed on how well kept and all the maintinance records that came with this find.....He also explianed that in mid 1986 that Interior pattern was done away with ....I did some reseach and found that if a person can find the fabric to latch on to it.....i don't know if you seen the pics i posted but thier is not one blemish.....Lucky Find....

Bought From A Guy on the Airforce Base ,the reason it's in 4-Low is because i climbed a hill that 2 jeeps and a chevy 4X4 couldn't climb,not only did i climb it i climbed the second one that only a Toyota can climb.....LOL....tryed to keep the plate,in New Mexico the owner has to keep thier plate and the point of sale....SUCkS...

I have owned numerous,Toyota's over the years and have never seen one with the options that mine has. Toyota's are awesome. everyting works right down to the cig lighter....I noticed the ash tray had never been used,the dash is cracked but Chris has one in mint condition,I also noticed the owner only replace parts with Toyota OEM parts Toyota's 4 EVER.............It 's getting 17 city and approx.28 highway with the Cold Air,running,the sun visors still have all the card board instructions,The 1st owner kept,all records,I am the 2nd owner and hope to follow his steps.................I also collect some guns and it was like finding a rare rifle or pistol still in the oiginal,box w/all the paperwork.The owner manual was in the glove box....

THIS POST IS VERY INTERESTING !!
I think I too have the vertigo , if that interior and it being an 85 SR5 EFI solid axle with the inclometer , sunroof . Then I think mine must be ! ,But my interior is grey SR5 pattern .
Let me know , that would be even cooler than just the last year solid and EFI.

Yeah, Ive been fallowing that truck on ebay. He cant seem to get enough money to sell it...one day some crazy yoda lover will pull the trigger, Im sure.

People stalk my sons 85 all the time. He said just the other day a truck circled 3 times stoped in front rolled down the window gave the thumbs up and drove off. Its got 258K and still starts everyday. He pounds it on the beach weekly, Im talking sand that eats trucks i.e. tacos, chevys for breakfast. He just putts right along. Not moving to fast but moving!!!
