The body is really rusted out, but the frame is totally solid and the engine, tranny, tcase and axles are in great shape, no leaks. 190k Paid 800 and got an extra transmission and transfer case out of a similar 4runner with just over 100k on the clock.

In driving it today I realized I definitely need some more travel to soak up the bumps, My rear springs are in good shape and have some positive arch left in them so I think I will look into doing the rear to front swap and put some chevy springs in the rear.

 

And the back wheel came off the ground here

 

Nice truck, looks like you really know where to wheel! Haha, just kiddin, nice cheap buy!

 

Urban rock crawling?

 

had to establish some baseline results

 

Hello Doctor,

I've got lots of rot on the rear wing - who cares - I got a 1st Gen and I am HAPPY

Nice find , I really feel for all you gents in the wet parts of the country. Last summer I picked up a 84 Runner myself with almost zero rust anywhere got to love those sunny Southern California vehicals. Picked it up for 1700, body was very straight with a rebuilt engine & a 4" Rancho lift. Almost to nice to offroad almost . Only thing I nad to do was replace the lower crank seal that was leaking pick up some good 33" tires it had little street tires on it and add some oil been driving it ever since. Have fun with your new toy you will love it:rockin. I just ordered Marlin crawler 4.88 diffs with ARB lockers for mine I cannot wait.
