its a 85 solid axle, sr5 22rec, 5 speed, 4runner, has inclinometer, no rust, needs paint, good cleaning on the inside, and probly a engine rebuild, they want 600 bucks. is it worth it.

 

22reC?

whats wrong w/the engine?

pics?

 

Well... do you want a 1st Gen 4Runner with a solid axle?

Are you prepared to rebuild the engine yourself?

Without pics or actually being there to drive the thing, it sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Maybe use the engine rebuild as leverage towards the best price.

Personally, I'd jump on it... I really like the 1st Gens and this one sounds like a good starting point for all sorts of projects.

Heck, you can probably sell the factory inclinometer by itself on E-Bay for close to $100.

 

yea idk what a 22rec is, im thinking it has the california emissions stuff on it maybe??, im not sure if it even runs i just looked at it. im ready for the rebuild, we finished the 86 rebuild it was a 22ret the factory turbo truck, so i think i can Handel this one.

 

sounds like a good deal

 

22REC is the standard engine...everyone calls it the 22RE. Then there is the 22R (carb) 22RET (turbo).

I believe it stands for Electronicly controlled.

 

Yes!!!!!!!!

 

HECK YEA. If you dont want it where is it?

 

Baddddd A$$$$$$$ Truck! If you have the resources to get it into shape, JUMP ALL OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

No dont get it. I WANT IT. HAHA JK Dude get all over it.

 

there are people that will pay that for the sas and the eng core!

 

me, i would me asking this kind of thread myself (i have...maybe you've seen them) but i think if you have the resources, can and are willing to rebuild it and repaint it, its a good deal! talk him down maybe a bit if you can, but if you like the proposition or rebuilding it, add up all your costs, and see if you want to pay THAT much. maybe its cheap now but say you need to drop 3k in engine, drivetrain, and body work...plus the effort. is it worth it to you?

if so...hell yes go get it.

 

 

for $600 i would buy it, being an 85 and all. someone correct me if im wrong but wasnt the 22REc the California model with more emmisions stuff and less power because of it?

 

85 and no rust?!? I hope you have bought it by now.

 

yes where going to get it, we got it running lol, the timing was off, so we moved the dizzy till it started, i think some one did a chain replacemnt and screwed it up, they broke the timing chain cover where the mistory bolt gose. but it will fire up and run but not good. the guy got like 9 offers today for even more money than hes asking for but he promised it to us so we just got to meet up and pay for it.

 

Right on

 

nice! lets have some pics when u get the chance!!

 

I think you've seen my write-up and I'm now 5 grand into it from buying the truck until now but it's daily-driving now. How is the turbo doing now? I haven't seen any posts about it.

If that truck was around here and I could hide it from my wife, I'd buy it!!

 

Ya, if you weren't in florida I would give you a finders fee just for telling me where it was, If you were not going to purchase. Score that runner.I wish I could. Anyone know of a parts car 4runner in the northwest for sale?
