I have a 85 sr5 22re 4runner with a factory straight axel and I just locked up the main bearings in the motor. Do I have someone rebuild it, find a used motor, or buy a rebuilt motor. I have money just no time (weird right?) I really don't want to dump a ton into it because I have a new truck also, what are some good options for me guys?

 

Either rebuild it or buy a rebuilt motor, in my experience used motors are a PITA to deal with and cause more problems.

 

sell it to me for cheap

 

Where do you live? you could sell it to me for what little money i have and then i could do some work for you to help pay it off.

But in all seriousness I'm going to agree with Alberta4x. It also depends on your budget. Do you have the money to put a new 22re.

 

I'm in Wisconsin I might sell it but I doubt it, I would need a solid offer. I have the money I just don't know if I can justify a easy $1000 plus labor in a truck that's 26 years old you know? Are there good places to find cheap motors out there?

 

Yes you can find cheap motors but you know the saying you get what you pay for. My dad paid about $900 for a block and about another $900 in parts so about $1800 all together and now that truck is sitting In the driveway because it drains oil.

You know your truck is the one of most desirable trucks right? Anybody that knows what it is will take that 26 year old truck over a newer vehicle. the way it sits you could probably sell it for 3.5k-4k

 

Well I'm open to offers fellas. Haha I'm lookin at a rebuilt motor on eBay for right around a grand so we will see what happens I guess.

 

post a picture of it ^

 

Can I post pics from my phone and if so how?

 

if its a file on your phone or computer i don't think you can but if its gut a URl you can. IDK though i only use this site with my computer.

 

 

 

Try and put [IMG][/IMG] around the url.

BTW I noticed that they are Facebook urls, make sure they are set to public

 

 

the 84 and 85 trucks and 4runners are gems

 

It's worth $500. I will buy it and I will come pick it up.

 

Price getting it rebuilt compared to a rebuilt one. You got a yota heads dream there, well one of the many lol

 

 

Good looking runner. I vote keep and rebuild. The rig has alot of potential

 

Their all worth building
