I got it home finally.
it is a 1989 4Runner.4cyl/5 speed 156K miles
ZERO rust. all around great shape.

Here it is on the trailer



Here it is after i removed the running boards



And after i cleaned the heck out of the inside







For now it is going to remain stock and be my DD for the family. I will be blacking the wheels out as soon as i buy some paint.In about 2 years i will start making it better for the trail. I am surprised on how nice it is under the carpet and rear pad, it looks brand new. I am so lucky this one found me. I cant wait for the summer now so i can take the top off


Just noticed i posted in wrong section, can a mod throw this in the 86-95 section? Thanks!!

 

nice man i like it it i wish my 88 looked as good as that one did on the out side

 

Wow! Nice 4runner!! I don't know why, but that maroon style interior is really starting to grow on me. Probably because it's kind of a retro look nowadays.

 

Yeah i am just calling it pimp red. It is warming up to me. Main thing is i have to try and redye the carpets, they got some seriously bleaching from the sun.

 

nice ..

Rare Red ... love it .

for those of you with rust .. I have the cure.

Thats good to know there are fiberglass parts available

I also picked up the 4runner for $1650. I think i got a pretty good deal

 

thats a really clean and nice looking runner good luck with it

 

Wow, what a great deal, thats a good looking 1st gen

 

looks good but man that red is really hard on my eyes

 

When you get ready to mod it up for the trail consider WabFab.

Nice find!

 

If the carpet is still in good condition, it?s probably worth the effort of re-dying it. However, there are replacement carpet kits available if you want to go that route.

Very very nice truck! Made me realize whats wrong with my truck, its missing the running boards wish the previous owner hadnt taken them off.
Good luck with the fix up.

 

Oh man that is too much red for me, but if it makes you happy, I'm happy 4 u

 

I got it registered and ready for the road. And paitned my rims I have the seafoam treatment waiting for tomorrow. I still have to adjust th evalves the get a bit noisy when you get into the higher RPMS and then shift.
