Before i defiantly buy this 85 i wanted to makeshure some body work is possible. first off here are some pics of the yota w/ a 6" lift and 33"swapers...



Noe here is the problem area. the rear pan is riddeld with rust holes and so are the wheel wells.


I think if i just do a basic box over the wheel well and just a regular piece of sheet metal over it it will work fine. Feel free to leave feedback on the truck!!!
thanks...kev

 

definitely a project
:chicken:

 

motor just had timing chain and head gasket. just needs small section of fuel line,brake lines and shocks and above work and it should be road worthy

 

so did you get it yet or not...i'll even help you work on it...see you l8er

 

not yet monday afternoon may be the day. so does anyone think its worth it for $500?

 

AHHHH!!! BLACK 4RUNNER!!! fix it up and sell it to me.

 

its not happening :cry: theres a bad hole in the frame about the size of someones side of their hand. wold be a great trail rig for someone else though,,,

 

even buying it for the drive train alone for 500$ would be worth it. then you can look for another rig to do an sas!!

i would but im only 16 and have no steady income to fund a trail rig.

 

hey, you're not alone. i remember being 17(actually, i had just started posting here) and somebody at my school had a cherry '82 4x4, all it needed was an engine, and they wanted $500 for it. my idea was to put in the engine from the '84 2wd i had, but the folks shot that one down quick

 

I would consider it for stripping the drivetrain and front axle assembly.

I guess you already found it, but I was going to suggest that the frame needs a good inspection for rust if the rest of the body was in that bad a shape.

 

Box the Frame. its not that hard to do.

 

x2 - if you were all ready to weld panels in the bed, welding a little plate on the frame should be no problem. Plus it will be even stronger than factory!

 

yes i could do that but nothing electrical works-ex: power windows tachometer lights. it also i found out has been lifted too much to pass inspection. the guy is now parting it out. pm me for his phone number
