Yeah! What happened to your truck? How did you roll it? Do you have any pictures of the carnage?
We want the story. You can leave out the gory details if you must.

Wow that really suck! So what's the story??? You're leaving us all hanging...

So what's the deal with 4Runners selling in your area for so cheap? I was actually fortunate enough to find one for myself a few years ago for $2200 with only 150,000 miles on it. Believe it or not a bought it from a dealer who took it in on trade in Portland, OR. It's also an 85 with a 22RE. Mine is mint with Zero rust anywhere. I'm in Michigan now with it and they salt the roads here. Luckily I've got other wheels to keep the 4Runner in storage during the harsh winter months. The only thing I've done to my truck is swapped out the crappy rancho lift I bought it with and put on a 2" OME lift with 32" tires.

Here's a couple of pics for the heck of it. Well, that and I love showing it off.

I love these trucks! Well, I guess thanks to you the value of mine just went up a bit! :-) I hope you are okay whatever you did...


So what's the story...

unsubscribing, it's sucks what happened to your runner, but since it's such a huge secret, guess i'll never know. the suspense isn't like waiting to see if i passed a breathalizer after a good night and getting pulled over. but like you said, another one bites the dust. best of luck

Hey Wabbitl, do you have one of those factory skid plates that you would be willing to part with? Oh and I just bought a set of your quick release hinges. They work great, good job on fabing them up.
