If I hadn't have just done the work on the wife's truck, I'd prolly go get it since it's an auto and she won't learn manual.
but I bet the 32's aren't helping the mileage out any (noticed they didn't mention gears).
Don't think I'd sell either of mine for it though.

Seems like a good price but you'd have to check it out in person.

well go look at it then. the guy's in oceanside so it may have some rust if it's been there more than a few years. drive it and see how it feels.

Dude...buy it. It may be undergeared, but you can just swap your wheels and tyres to it and call it good... For 1500 I think it's a steal unless it's got some major problems...

that 4Runner will be gone before you sell your truck.....or 'tell' your folks you sold it and show up with the 4Runner, I have sold a couple of vehicles in the past on consignment. I did not have to dicker with people and the trucks sold fast due to more exposure.

My First Yota was an '86 Runner...I put 160K on that thing, I missed it...

gotcha..I understand your dilemma...I moved out over 20 years ago (old far). When I was in high school I worked on V-Dubs and back than you could buy them for $50...my dad recently found what was left of 6 of them on the lower part of their property there having cleared...Guess what one of my winter projects is

If you get the opportunity to pick up a 1st Gen 4Runner you will love it..I miss mine

its worth a shot anyway.... if he says no it prolly isnt worth selling your truck for unless you hate your truck or its not running the way it should. that 4runner will probably need repair work and matienance that stuff you need to consider before running out and selling your truck...would be a nice project thou if you had your parents permission and the cash
