Wow, that is nice!

Looks like he made a mistake on the listing though. He has it listed as an automatic but the pics show a stick.

There ya go man, there's your 2nd gen

That is clean.
Yank off those Smittybilt nerfs, and put on some sliderz, and it will look great.
It's got a nice rear bumper, just add a nice one up front.

That's a really nice 2nd gen.

I am not a fan of the rear bumper though.

Yeah same here, do you think the rig is just for show because underneath looks mint.

Looks like alot of paint and armor all went on that thing. The underneath is immaculate though. I could only dream of mine ever being that clean. It would take hours of sandblasting and painting to get mine there. A plus it has a optima blue top under the hood.

obviously it is located in AZ and not in boston because if it was, the undercarriage would be full of horrible amounts of snow and salt and sand and dirt and grime!

I have my own auto detailing business, and I can tell you that it's not that hard to make any vehicle look like that.

Looks like it got the compounded/swirl remover/wax treatment with a rotary buffer, and the underneath just had to be sprayed with all purpose cleaner, and rinsed off with a high pressure power wash, and a lot of armor all sprayed on for the final touch.

The underneath will look like crap after a few miles of driving due to the armor all attracting every little particle in the road.

And the cupholders don't look that clean either to match the rest of the job.

Most people see a waxed car/truck and for some reason assume that it's always been taken care of You'd be amazed at what a good buffing job will do to old oxidated paint.

PS: My truck is always that clean (except when it snows/rains)

Wow, that is the strangest automatic transmission gear shift that I have ever seen. It looks exactly like a manual transmission. :pat:

I like this one, almost twice as much, but twice as nice. He wants 13,000 but has been trying to sell since Oct. He also said he would take 10,000 plus a older toyota truck. If I had 11k I would probably drive it home.

Plus a SAS!

He also has a roll bar from a 1st gen in it. The power tank is included!

Also in AZ, that dry heat really preserves the trucks out there.

I really dig the rear bumper, and had Jeff @ Badland Bumpers look at the pics to see if he could fab me up one like it.

WOW

mannnn that red 4runner is sweeeet! I wonder how long of a drive it is to arizona from denver? Its right in my price range and is already modded!!!! It also says engine has 144k miles on it, but rebuilt at 100k. So should the engine be trouble free. A 1990 worries me a little because stuff might start breaking. I wonder what kind of gas mileage it gets? Very cool.

I was checking out that runner and the wife walked in. I mentioned how when we have kids (one on the way) I could use a truck like that. Her words were," You have that big a$$ truck sittin outside, there is no way we're gettin that." She just doesn't understand the concept of planning... Gonna be a rough day when I drop a runner body on my truck frame. LOL
