I love my mom. she went to Target today and got me one (all they had) while I was at school. the sticker on the console is a coincidence of where I decided to put the 4Toy.

 

^^also I know I need to clean the 4Runner. its winter so I cant right now.

 

2 walmarts, 2 targets, toys-r-us, and Fred Meyers later still no matchbox car... eBay may be the way to go for this.. Ive spent more than the shipping cost in gas driving around.

 

Found two today at the pharmacy even. except I had no money

 

Found two 4runners at walmart a week ago i need to go back and look for a landcruiser now!

 

for 2011 they're beige:

 

what happened to your factory roll bar?

i have 4 of these Nylint trucks. 3 are 4Runners like this, one of which is a darker red with black bumpers/grille and white wheels like you have. the others are chrome grille/bumpers/wheels.

i thought it pretty cool that they have essentially both DX (black trim) or SR5 (chrome trim) packages. the 4th is the exact same body, but it's a pickup version, like the one from Back to the Future: black w/ chrome light bar behind the cab.

the Runners are in various fair condition, one is also missing a roll bar, and another is missing the body side stickers. But the black pickup is new, strapped in original packaging.

i also have an R/C 86 SR5 Xtra cab in black. i'll have to post pics up some day.

toy Toys are fun!

 

the red one IS a Ford F150, mid '70s. this is probably the most famous truck of that body style:


if they marketed it as a Toyota, you been had.

 

Thats how I got it - I didn't know it had a roll bar - I was just going to make one.

We'd love to see pics of the ones you have!!

 

[added to my wish list.

you should see the LS1 powered FJ40 my neighbor has stretched 20", Mini extended cab. He won't let me post pics but the work is incredible, Magazine quality...

urrr..now I have to get another one
edit: ebay is a good thing, just found it



yep but I am only out $5

 

made one of the 3 i bought into a key ring this weekend.

 

wow that beige is pretty, cant wait to pick one up thats for sure!!

 

not if you can figure out a way to put those larger tires from the red truck onto the 4Runner.

 

good gravy! straight through the engine bay?

i don't think that lil' truck will have much compression anymore.

next time, i recommend drilling into the tailgate and screwing in an eyehook to put your ring on.


the eyehook could then also be useful for towing.

 

ah theres only one beige on ebay

 

I havent played with matchbox cars in eons I think its about time for me to start

 

What did you to do to your rig today?

...well i took the 1/16th 33's of my 1st gen p/u, and put them on my 1/16 4runner!! lmao

 

if you could find a way to swap the axles as well, you'd really have something there! haha

 

yeahh lol a sas'd (yes ik 85 runners are already solid axle but you know what i mean) 4runner on 33's would be sweet to add to the collection!!!
