just purchased a 1986 4runner for $1800. what do you guys think? did i pay too much? or was it a steal? it's got a 1995 toyota pickup engine, the original engine blew.

 

If its in reasonably good condition, then no. I paid 1200. for my 86 4Runner and it was a basket case and ive spent the last two years putting it back together.
Post a picture so we can see it. Here is a picture of mine.

 

that's a nice picture you got there! the truck is in great condition, it's got all sorts of upgrade. he told me the upgrades, but being a noob i had no idea what he was talking about.

 

Thanks, it didn`t look anything like that when i got it. Ive got over 8000 dollars into it and counting. Make a signature and list all of the mods to your truck so we can see what`s been done to it.

 

What are your plans for your new truck ?.

 

nice looking 4runner

X2 what are your plans

 

i don't know yet, that's the reason why i joined this forum to get ideas. please, any help is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

 

theres alot you can do haha.

do you have 33s or 35s

 

that's true! 35's for now, but i'm thinking about downgrading to 33

 

If you don`t know what you want to do with your 4Runner, the best thing you can do is start reading and searching the forums here, and you will come up with all kinds of ideas. I will tell you this because your new, and that is do things right the first time, don`t be cheap when it comes to buying parts or doing any mods to your 4Runner. Pay the money to buy the better parts you want and if you can`t install them your self, then pay someone that knows what there doing to install them. This is a hobby that everyone here enjoys but its not worth your life if things arn`t done right.

 

i totally agree with you, thanks for the advice. like i said, this is the reason why i joined the forum.

 

Did you get a full top with it? What size engine is in it? Man. or auto? And more pics.....

 

^^^ Listen to him.
Everytime i get on yota tech i start itching and i get 3 different urges...
1. Go find a rock to climb
2. Go find some mud to crawl through.
3. Search the internet for stuff i can buy for my yota

Just stick with us, you'll do just fine haha.

 

hahaha, this forum is awesome. i will post more picture soon. it's 5 speed manual transmission and yes i have the full top with it.

 

I wanna see more pictures of that half top setup.

 

I got my 86' for $491

I second the more pics of the half top!

 

man i want a 4runner and up here in oregon all the yotas for sale are expensive and not nothing special. but those are nice 4runners i love the red one looks awesome.

 

I bought my 87 pickup for right at $800 bucks.
And that was the best $800 bucks ive ever spent!!!

Ive got a 2wd 4runner for putt puttin around town. Nothing special, but i love er. haha

 

very nice! compare to what you guys spent in your trucks, it looks like i paid a lot. lol

 

I ended up paying 700$cnd for mine.. either way the money i saved from talking the guy down went into the truck anyways...
