If someone buys that truck for 7k -8.5K ...I'm selling mine, which is way nicer in my opinion.

There's a big difference between the reg cab and the Xtra cab. I'm 6'2 and my seat is NOT all the way back. I've drove reg cabs , and they are small.

I've owned my truck for over 8 years. Yes it has P.S. I wouldn't of owned it this long without recomending it. This truck outran my '92 which I did sell for $4K

it is kind of hard to tell if this is a good buy. it doesnt seem like he gives that much info on it. if i were to buy it then i would definently ask more questions and woudl want better answers then "new everything" and "done right" you know what i mean. i love my 86 4runner. you might want to research or ask people who have had both 22r motors and 22re motors and see how they compare. i have the 22re which is fule injected and i can say its great but i cant compare it to the 22r because i havent owned a truck with that motor in it.

i wouldnt pay 7gs for it but that may just be because i dont have the money right now and i already have an 86 that runs fine.

thats just my 2 cents

thanks so much guys for the input. i really appreciate it. i think i may go sit in it and maybe drive it tomorrow morning but i think yall have convinced me not to give him 7 g's for it. its actually at a dealership now, i think he traded it in for something yesterday they said.
