New 85 4Runner here!
Hey guys, I'm a new member here. I recently purchased an 85 4runner. I think I got a decent deal on it.. I'll post some pics up to get some opinions soon
It's a light silver color with darker graphics on the side, this sound like the original color for an 85?
It's got a 5 in lift and 36 in military tires. First thing I plan to do is 5.29's and a locker
This is my third solid axle yota, and my DD is an 07 lifted taco 6speed
Anyways I just wanted to introduce myself!

What is it with the massive amounts of 85 runner new members making us wait for pics this is frickin preposterous.
And you have to add military tires to make it worse my goodness!!!!!

Well here's the pics guys! She ain't perfect by far, but I think it's a decent starting place. I'll probably end up with some fiberglass panels swapped in and hopefully fresh paint in the near future
I paid $2300. Seem like a good deal? It runs good!

It runs good. Starts right up, needs an a/c line that the last guy broke swapping the fuel filter then the air will work. There's a small pin hole in the gas tank I need to repair
The truck has 230K on it but the motor was rebuilt at 160K
Goes in and out of 4wd perfectly and clutch feels good.
It's SCARY on the road right now because there's a ton of slack in the steering box and the bias tires follow every groove in the road. Hopefully, it'll drive much better once I do a hi steer and ifs box and get some more road friendly ties. I'm thinking 37 in mtr's and swap in some 5.29 gears

You've got a lift tires and wheels and a good running motor out of the gate. Any gears or lockers? If not that would be my next move so you could wheel her hard. Then move to the body paint sliders and bumpers
