The top looks like it's never been removed. Frame is solid as it gets, no rust at all. Has some expected rust on the wheel wells but not horrible. Also has a busted rear tail light with some body damage. No engine. (yet...)

Ain't saying how much I paid, but at least one YT member knows & can vouch for a great deal I got...

Yeah, I would have considered buying it myself...but RED junks makes my flesh creepy crawl.

You'll get your $$$ back out of it I'm sure...lots of good stuff still there.

Not sure yet. I bought it because it was a good deal & I passed up the last one that came my way, so I wasn't letting this one go. I may use it for parts or part it out, or drop a 22-RE in there with a tranny and have a DD rig.
I'm gonna clean her up good & think on it a while. I know my nephew already has his eye on it...

That would be pretty cool if you nephew did get it, so then both of you would have 1st gens. Plus he could help you rebuild it which would be cool b/c he would learn a lot, plus he prolly will repect it a lot more.

No problem at all. This one was a good 1000 lbs lighter than my 85 though, I-Force V-8 rocks!

EDIT: 2006 Tundra towing capicity is 7100 lbs, way more than either of my 4Runners + the trailer.

Good deal, man. I actually like the red with the black top. Looks in great condition. Any minor body damage or anything?

I'd use it as a daily driver if I were you.

I like the red exterior. Those wheels look like they are from a newer 4runner or truck. Is it an SR5?

The wheels are from another Toyota, I don't know which model, but I really like them. It's not an SR5 so it has no tach, sunroof, or power features. Besides the busted tail light pictured & some rust on the wheel wells, the body is in good shape, the interior is dirty, but very cleanable.

My 1985 was a little jealous.

I told them to "play nice"...

I ask because those are SR5 wheels, but they look newer (and a bit nicer) than the ones I have. Good find
