So for some of you you might remember my first truck (details in sig) that i bought from the car auction and rolled in the mountains. well after extermely long time waiting i bought a new one from the same auction place.

Got her $1200

 

Oh also heres the pic of the final phase of my old truck ( no longer with me)

 

Auction purchase? Salvaged title? What're your plans for it?

 

Took you long enough. Welcome back!

So what are the plans for the new one? Interior looks to be in great shape, looks like one fender, a hood, some work on the cross support and you'll be good to go. I don't mention the bumper and grill because.... well we KNOW you're going to fab up something crazy.

 

$1200? For a 2nd gen? Yikes.....you ruskies really drive the price of that junk up at Copart.

I picked up an unwrecked '99 off Craigslist for $2200

 

yes it was from a salvage auction, but the best part is i got a clean bill of sale and as far as plans well fix her up, and make a super mint daily driver, Doug thorley headers, full stereo, tint.
and hopefully 33.10.5 and rock armor

 

looks pretty clean inside. how many miles?

 

dam DC, we dont all find the killer deals
oh and also i got her for 825, but with all the out the gate cost it came to 1200

 

oh and she got only 177xxx on the clock

 

33/10.50's and rock armor for a "super mint daily driver"? Guess you plan to do some crawling over Hondas at the mall. Just kidding. Great find and good luck with the build!

 

Wow...the deals must be MUCH better where you live. $2200 would get you a beat up pick-up with rusty rear leaf mounts in the Northeast.

I had to shell out $3,000 for mine (93 DLX base), and the body was relatively rust free, but definitely bumped up. Actually, it was $3,300, but the seller took off $300 because it was hit between when I put a deposit on it and when I picked it up.

I've seen rust free 2nd gen 4Runners being sold in the $3-5K range depending on miles/condition.

 

if the 3.0 runs, and it has lowish miles... leave it stock. if you plan on modding it, save money towards a 3.4 swap... you'll thank me later.

 

oh the only reson i was gonna touch the engine is i hate the stock headrs and that they IMO cause the head gasket problem, so i want the headrs.


however its hard say what and when ill have money for any of these mods

 

thnx DC, and its hard to say which way ill go with this truck, because its half mine and half my gf.

anyway if you still work at nix99, could you keep an eye out for some white hoods and fenders,

 

nice find, just need to pull the auto and put a 5 speed in there.

 

Nice find. The body looks pretty clean and straight minus the front damage. Looks good on those taco rims too

 

So i fianly got the truck home this weekend, and there wasnt any frame damage, it had just hit above the truss bar. so my radiator got bent back into the cranck shaft pulley. however looking over the truck it looked like it had been very well maintained and the fluid changed reguraly. and to my suprise i found it has a rear 2" coil spacers, to help elimante the saggy rear end.

so while waiting on parts i started into my debaging and destripping the truck for cleanner steet look.

onto the pictures

 

looks awesome! i love white 2nd gens

 

What do you have planned for her?

 

It looks so naked.....
