The Toyota Trekker was a rare hybrid of Toyota Truck, sort of a forerunner to the 4Runner. This is conversion number 681 by Winnebago, it's estimated that only 1200-1400 Trekkers were ever shipped to the United States.

-The good: 1981 with carbureted 22R, L52 5speed Transmission, solid axle, odometer broke at 80,000...I've gotten two mechanics opinions on the mileage, one thought it was around 100,000 and another thought it was closer to 200,000. Motor feels very strong, uses very little oil (I add a quart every 3 or 4 weeks). Truck does not leak anything.
-SR5 package, pop-up moon roof, all gauges work, aftermarket (I think Acura Integra?) front seats with lumbar adjustment and all that good stuff.
-About 2.5 inches of lift achieved through add-a-leafs all around, 33x12.50 General Grabber MTs on 10 inch 3spoke wheels, tires will probably need to be replaced before winter.
-New clutch slave cylinder.
-Cobra compact CB Radio with mounted PA speaker and antenna.
-Underbody and frame is all in remarkable shape for a 26 year old truck, not much rust on the body and it starts every time at the turn of the key.
-Pretty cool steel rear bumper

-The Bad: Does not come with rear seats...I had plans to mount some out of a 3rd Gen LandCruiser, but I left it open back there because I ended up moving so many tires, etc...for a smaller SUV type truck, it is rather spacious without the rear seats.
-Small leak where fiber top meets back of the cab.
-Needs to have some carb work done, will not hold idle without giving it gas unless it's been revved to 3k+...then it won't die. Carb will need to be pulled off and cleaned.
-Rear tailgate latch broke off, tailgate still stays shut but bangs around while driving around, needs a new latch made and bolted to the fiber in the back.
-Lifted very mildly, but it still rides around like a lifted leaf sprung Toyota. Has no problems pushing the 33 inch tires to 70mph...it's just not a real pleasant ride.

-The Ugly: Inside top of the fiberglass top is kind of gross looking, moisture over the years has left it looking grimy...I didn't take a pic of it but it looks like it needs help.
-Also, I haven't bothered pulling off the purple rear window tint, as you'll see in the pics.
-Door panels are not stock but are the same carpeting that is used in the floor of the truck, ugly grey carpeting. It works, and it matches the seats...but it's still ugly.



I think I've covered everything, make an offer. Let me know if you have any questions...i'm in Southern MN.
