New ARB bumper installed. I really like it. Doesn't seem as big as some seem to look.

 

I think these ARB Bumpers are my favorite looking aftermarket bumper.

Looking good!

 

 

This truck has been my trusty steed for 30+ years now. We been through thick and thin. Both of us getting old and beat up but we are still going.
Some great looking rigs on this thread. All these trucks are great looking! No time yet to look at them all, but will.
She turned 500,000 last summer. Not the original motor. I love my truck!

 

Love my first gen! Need to figure out some better shocks to fix the nose dive though when braking.

 

Swap in progress

 

The rear backhalf has been going strong for about a year now. Cab swap is next so I can get a windshield and doors back on..

 

Back half and link set up is looking gooooood

my junk

 

 

The day I bought it...




Really... it's going to look better

 

First post with my new to me 85 pickup, just a DD for me right now. Not a serious off-road rig like many here but still fun!

Warning big photos!


Comparison of when I purchased the truck and after a good wash, detail, new bumper, lights, and painting grille.



New seat covers with heaters. This might be the most important mod for the winter beater! lol

Added the tach and the heated seat switch panel

 

Nice looking truck! Heated seat covers is a brilliant idea.

 

Wow @CNC85 that looks great! Your "before and after" looks backwards - Left looks like the day it left the factory... right looks like 34 years later. Nice job turning back the clock.

 

I don't think I'd call that a winter "beater". Nice!! Don't let it rust away!

 

1985 DLX with a few factory options, 75k CO miles, original paint, tan cloth interior. Just got it home (NM)


2 days ago Looking to keep it an original pavement queen for now except for wheels and maybe suspension.

 

Original interior

Under the hood

Even the window sticker!

 

I just got my 2nd solid axle Toyota, an 85 4Runner with 224,779 miles and a bad engine that needs a full rebuild.
Price? Free, just had to get it off the guys property by the 1st which I had no problem with thanks to AAA.
It needs a lot and I can and will do all of the work except the cylinder boring.
Neglect is a horrible thing and this poor Runner was neglected for the past 10 years, no more.

 

I like the rear bumper. Did you fabricate yourself, or buy somewhere?

 

I built it! Thanks for the compliment, super simple and easy to build.

 

85 xtra cab DLX 4x4. Lifted 6 inches sitting on 33s currently. As far as rust goes its pretty much completely clean, and the engine runs flawlessly. Im just trying to figure out an issue it is having with the transmission or possibly the clutch.
