Also bought a 85 pickup in pretty decent shape for $100

 

Finally got the engine sat in and fired up. Runs like a champ. Will get video put up asap

still got some lift stuff to finish along with shocks and brake lines

 

Can't wait.. Love it when they get a fresh heart and a clean start! Lol.

 

Finally got to move her around the yard a bit on her on power. Forgot to install knock sensor dummy. Check engine light lit immediately

 

Lift completed

I'll give you $200. hahaha, but seriously, how do you find deals like that? That's crazy.

 

Been away for awhike guys been busy with my first child. Hopefully be back working in the runner again soon but spending time with her is well worth the hold on it<br/>

 

No such thing as too much for a project

 

Found this on Google the other day and has some pretty interesting readings in it. Check it out and learn a little history behind the vehicles we drive.

Well guys I have come across another awesome deal that I couldn't pass up. 1986 4Runner Sas SR5 5.71 gears Detroit in rear body is in decent shape for the unbeatable deal of 500 dollars. What what!!!





What it looked like when he got it back





Play day around three months ago





Current condition for $500

 

sorry guys been spending so much time with wife and kids and haven't really worked on the runner. Did pickup a 5.29 grizzly locker 3rd member in Savanah for 300 ready to go. my motor will be ready next week.

My baby is ready to live again. I'll get some pics up soon

 

New shoes on the runner 35x12.50 15 paid 50 for the whole setup not to shabby. Need tires in next 10000 or so. Wasn't to sure on how I liked the wheels at first but once I got them one they kinda grew on me.

Got engine bolted in last night, try and finish odds and ends and hopefully have ready for dirt roads this weekend.

pretty wide stance now, looks good! "....." lol

 

Great to hear you got it running again. I have always like black trucks and that one looks great. Bet your kid has grown quiet a bit since the picture. They grow fast and make life fun.

 

Great to hear from you Terry thanks it needs a paint job and a hood. Got deep scratches from previous owner. Love the work on Tom's 87 4runner been keeping up with it

Tnfive-o thanks. I love the way it looks with the 35s and pulls good with the 4.30 gears. Can't wait to get the 5.29s in.

 

Not a lot of progress just been doing some riding. Me and the lady hit some trails around the house behind a buddy of mines house.
