WEll I wasnt really looking for another truck but, while posting some items for sale on craigslist i also started looking around and found a 1990 4x4 4runner ,the guy wanted $800 . The motor has a bad bearing but it has recent rebuilt heads.The truck also came with two sets of rims,Highlift jack ,aftermarket roof rack ,has new flowmaster,hubs have been converted to manual ,some flimsy stinger on the bumper,nice pioneer 32x12.50 all terrains about 75%. I still have not decided what I am going to do with it , fix it or part it.Bought it for $600

 

Haha, I just did the same thing. Found a 1990 runner w/ BJ spacers and cruiser coils. Blown head gasket paid 1000. I think I got a good deal. Its in Saratoga btw sposed to go and get it Saturday.

 

Wow, that,s one of those deals that almost make you feel dirty, that real good kind of dirty!

 

Toylocust is it blue , if so I saw that one and the guy has been trying to sell it for about 3 weeks. I think it was blue, but it did have blown headgasket and spacers in saratoga. The one i bought also has an electric fan on it.the one in saratoga also has a rear tire carrier.

 

flimsy stinger... that looks like the one i got!!! haaa jk. but seriously i got the same one.

 

Dude , I just tap it and it starts shaking all over the place. Must be the way its mounted or something.

 

No its black with bed liner on the fenders and rockers. Has a rear tire carrier and CB though.

 

Now that you mention it did have the bedliner on the fenders .I just saw it on craigslist ,I didnt actually go see it in person.he wanted $1200 or $1300 for it something like that.

 

You JUST saw it on CL? I hope not. But ya he wanted 1200 for it.

 

Sorry not today , was about a week ago .

 

OK good. lol. Whats your timeline on gettin this done? I put mine on the credit card so I gotta pay it off before I can tear into it. lol.

 

What do you mean timeline. I just bought it and still trying to figure out what I am going to do with it. The trucks motor needs a rebuild. I already have a 3.0 I am currently rebuilding myself, But this motor im rebuilding was going into my 1988 4runner. The 1988 4runner runs fine its just i had a motor to rebuild so im doing it.

 

Great find!

 

THanks ! Yea i thought so to. I found it in the autoparts section of craigslist.

 

Just meant how long till it runs? but you answered my question.

 

Semi-on topic: I have the same year 'Runner. How is that aftermarket rack attached???

Without having a factory rack, I see nothing to anchor one to without drilling. No rain gutters, etc.

 

Its attached to the factory rails.

 

Foiled again! If it wasn't for those meddling kids...
