so yesterday while looking for a solid axle for my 90 4runner i came across this 1985 4runner for 1grand so i talked to my dad and we went to go look at it and we liked it so much we bought it a and the milage is unknown but it runs strong he says probally around 205thousand but that nothing for a 22re yadiyadiyata here are the pics you guys like





notice inside it is red

he could not wait to jump in it

this is how you know its good


it needs alot of work
things that i want/need to do
1st rebuild drums and replace front rotors
replace radiator
fix speedo(hopefully replace with sr5 gage cluste r)
fix ac
fix exaust leak
replace all fluids
replace seal in front axle
valve cover gasket
then paint it red agian
around 5 in supesion lift (dont know what kind so if yall know any good cheaper one feel free to tell and i dont need that much travel b/c there no rocks crawling in florida)
replace back axle with newer one
5.29 gears and lock in back
35 in tires dont know what brand but most likely mud tires
build tube bumpers front and rear
put in speakers and amp
tube doors and bikini top
paint that ugly brown interior black
also countless little things
but know i need to sell a boat and get my 90 ready to sell

and if you know of anything i should do or would be a good idea please feel free to chime in

 

Hells yea dude!!! best year and everything!!! There is a 1985 near my house in worse shape than yours and more miles and they want double what you paid!!! Nice deal!! (standing ovation)

 

Very nice 85. I have been cutting welding and modding mine for the past 3 months just to be where you are starting at now. and where it is a florida vehicle the frame is probably in really nice condition. very nice but dont hate on the brown interior cause that is what gives mine most its character. to each is own but black interiors are a bad idea. then again I am prepping my floor in mine right now for a SEM bedliner and I have black buckets going in so I should hold my thoughts. Pray you dont find body work under the teal. And if you do hope someone did it right.

 

yah the frame looks realy solid there very little surface rust but i am probaly going to repaint the whole thing anyway
but i dont theres anybody work under the the paint because i think pretty much the guy just painted it didnt sand it or anything because in some spots the paint is coming off but if it does have shotty body work just give me and excuse to get fiberglass fender

 

When you get ready to start crossing things off of your list...we'd be glad to help!

Nice score!

 

yah i have been looking at alot of you stuff i want to buy like your bikini top but dont have the money right now but hopefully later
