Well, that day has come....my lifted 1st gen 4runner is sold. Got some goodbye pics.

Well, that day has arrived. I've put alot of work into this truck, but bills and some unexpected problems showed their ugly face. So the decision was either my truck, or my turbo'd/built delsol. Since my business relies on custom turbo installs, custom turbo manifolds, and other parts for imports it's just in my best interest to keep my delsol.

So, this local kid ended up wanting it. We worked out a deal, and I said screw it. I'm probably gonna curl up in the fetal position and cry for a day after it's gone. So, as I mentally prepare for that, we got a little snow and I went out to get some final pics. I went to this one place, but just said screw it and went back in the woods.

BFG A/T's in heavy mud and snow is risky by yourself in the woods, but they were actually pretty freakin impressive. The pics don't do the conditions justice. I got down into these woods and was like...oh boy, I could be in trouble. The mud was SOFT underneath the snow, but I totally enjoyed the hell out of it. It's gonna make me miss it even more.

So on to the pics.

Yeah, I know it's gonna suck. I still have it for the moment. The guy gave me the cash, but didn't have money for the transfer. So it looks like I have it for 4 more days.

I want to build a pickup in your gen next...so I'm just keeping myself in that mindset. I've got the pics...I'll remember it, then when the time comes I'll build a pickup. Gotta think positive somehow.

I don't think he is on here anymore so we'll never know....but I was thinking the same thing when I first looked at the pics. We chatted on here awhile back when he was first selling and I think he was north of PGH. Those buildings with the blue are what look familiar to me.

Where you at in CBG? I was originally from the Houston area but moved to Weirton.

This guy was right^

I am here lookin at this post thinkin man...wish I had this one back. Guy I sold it to destroyed it and it was in a junk yard within a yr, no lie.

I have had tons of things after this but, really never found a clean first gen again in price range I wanted to spend.

I just bought a 92 Pathfinder and its the SE, LSD rear, rear carrier, etc so...hopin I can bring this one close to this 4runner.

Move to the West Coast!

There are still nice 4Runners here, but the clean ones are getting more and more expensive.
