Howdy all,

opportunities usually come when not ready and i have an opportunity to pick up an 83 that is currently not running for $1k which is a price point I like. 4x4 of course.

I recently bought a non running 85 4x4 SR5 to hopefully work on with my son. I have another boy a few years behind this one who is big into trucks as well. And, of course I like 85 toyota trucks and 4runners.

So here's the question. Do I add the 83 and accept that everything isn't interchangeable and that it is carbed; or just wait for an 85 to pop up at a price point I am good. I really do prefer fuel injection due to elevation changes, but that is not based on personal experience so maybe it isn't that big of a deal. I do like the simplicity of carbs.

Neither of these trucks will be made into hardcore crawlers. Trail rigs for hunting or camping is about the extent. Lifts, maybe lockers, etc.

I dont know enough about the 83s other than the cosmetic differences and no 22RE..

Thoughts.
