Hello, I just wanted to give out the old I am newb, see me get flamed post I live in Colorado and have been driving Toyotas for my whole entire life (well, since I could drive legally). I'm picking up a rust free 86Runner tomorrow. Normally I shoot for solid axle trucks but they just end up costing me so damn much money, because it's never good enough lol. This time I'm building a DD/Camping vehicle. Im thinking OME bars and springs, bj spacers, and a little longer shackle. Hopefully I can stuff 33x12.5's under there but I might just go the 33x10.5 route as I heard they are easier to fit on an IFS truck. Flame on!

 

Welcome!

Don't forget the pics.

"...rust free 86Runner..."

Welcome to YT

 

Welcome to YT to you also Osama ..........HEHEHE

 

Who Hooooo! More coloradans. Your Avatar lists ski town usa. Would that be steamboat? If so my folks live there. We'll be up there this turkey day! Yes welcome, and for the record there is no flaming here, nor is there any crap given for IFS. In fact two of the best IFS wheelers are in colorado... Axleike and TC.... They really push the limits of their rigs. Search their user names and look at their posts. They will give you a lot of good info.

We are having a wrench-a-thon this weekend at the H.O.W (House of Wrenching) near longmont. Stop by if you are in the neighborhood!

(This post has more info on IFS options and our weekend wrench-a-thon)

Well thanks for the warm welcome! On Pirate you get chewed up and spit out for saying hello haha. We'll see just how rust free it is. The outside looks great, but I have yet to pull interior panels. I will know better tomorrow, still can't beat it. It needs a radiator and sounds like it might need a t-chain. $800 is all I paid. The only thing that kind of sucks is it's an auto trans but I heard they last just fine as long as you keep up on the maintenance.

 

Um yeah... YT is the anti pirate... Not bad... just polar opposites in terms of rules and forum culture...

 

I actually live up in the Georgetown area, about 10 minutes from Loveland Ski Area, I will probably be relocating to Breckenridge in the spring because of a job offer. Thanks a lot for the link! I don't think I'll be able to make wrench-a-thon this time because we are headed to Wyoming this weekend to trailer my truck back. Monday it will be insured and driveable. Gotta get a new radiator.

 

Welcome to Yotatech! Lets see some pics!

 

I'm picking it tomorrow and only did the look-over so I don't have any pics of my own yet but here are some from the Craigslist ad. It really is a pretty damn clean Runner, this will be my 3rd 1st gen 4Runner and by far the cleanest.




Here are some old ones I've had before, but not even close to all of them.



haha I take that back, this used to be a 1st gen 4Runner

 

Sweet

 

And a couple more...




Cool, this thread is better now that it has pics

 

Welcome!

Can you ship me that , it looks so lonely , I will give it a good home

 

Welcome luvmeye22re... i think you'll find this to be a friendly little forum here... no flaming or personal attacks allowed... though we do raz each other now and then...
thats a sweet little 86 there looks like it's in really good shape...

 

Just got back from Wyoming a few minutes ago. No fresh pics as of yet, I need to wait until my fiance gets back from work. This is one beautiful little truck, the cleanest Runner I've seen in a while. I literally stole it from this guy at $800 if you ask me. The paint is even shiny.

 

congrats on the 86, wish i had kept mine and welcome!

And here she is












That's it so far. This thing is pretty clean, I'm not going to say rust free but it is Bondo free! And damn near rust free.

 

Looks Nice Man !!

 

For $800 I couldn't be happier
