I went from a locked and lifted Wrangler, to a stock Cerokee...and now I want my dream truck..and 80s 4runner Here is the one im looking at.

86 4runner
Chevy 350/turbo400 trans and I THINK a 205 TC Around 80K miles
Solid axle upfront
4:10 gears and posi rear
7-8 inches of lift (all springs and a 3 inch BL)on 36 inch TSls
Flat black paintjob (spraybomb)
Zero rust on body and frame...some rust on driverside footwell. No carpet. The door panels have been taken off and replaced with diamond plate sheet. Looks cleanly done, just not the most comfortable. Has stock rear seat, some some black leather seats out of I dont know what up front. Look like a toyota of somesort. None of the gauges work (speedo,gas) but he instaled some gauges under the radio (temp/oilpressure) Ide need to fis the speedo gear/gas gauge. Need a taillight,top is in good shape.

What would you guys offer for something like this? I think hes looking to get $5k..and I think thats too much. I was thinking closer to 4K. Opinions?

 

me personally i wouldnt buy the truck ,im a keep it original as best can be. Anyhoo 5k is way too much .

 

Dont care too much for originality. IM looking for a weekend warrior to take to the mud...What $$ are you all thinking? You know people that have rigs like these always ask more than its worth.

 

Anyone who mods a rig and expects to "recoup" and investment is umm.... I have a bridge for sale!

Unless your name is like Barris, modded rigs are worth alot less than an unmolested rig...

 

yea..Im also looking at the following.

87 Toyota pickup. 22R with 83K original miles.
6 inches of lift and 35s (brand new BFG Mts)
Has a rotted Cab, but comes with a MINT condition cab that I can swap onto it. Bed has some dents, but I do body work. I can pull the dents, throw the new cab on and have it painted. Comes with 5:29 gears that arent installed aswell as a rear locker. I'll have pictures of it up tomorrow. OO hes asking $1500

 

I'd go with this one, personally. For $1500, I'd rather have a 22R with 5:29's than a Chevy engine under the hood. Unless the six inches of lift are all body lift, of course.

 

Unless he wants 3k for the 1st one its not worth it with all those problems..

I would buy the other one.

 

Im leaning towards the pickup...Actually I have rulled the 4runner out totally at this point. The Pickup has a trailmaster 4inch lift and the rest is body. How hard is it to swap the beat/rusted cab on the pickup to the new one? Ide have to swap all the internals aswell. never done ANYTHING like that.
