I know this truck! I haven't seen it for several years (and the last time I saw it it was parked in my driveway in Alaska) but I can definitely vouch for the seller. Straight shooter, good with a wrench, knowledgable on old 45's and definitely an enthusiast. I hope life's being good to you...

1964 Toyota FJ45 SWB Fixed Cab Pickup I've had it in storage for a decade and never brought it home after an unpleasant experience with a restorer. Time to put it in someone else's care.

No kidding... and congrats! That's a sharp truck. :cheers:

Thanks! ...and for a guy w/ a name like ΔT I'm guessing that time is something you're prepared for! Bear in mind that Toyota gave away approx 200 of these little stripy 4x's to SAR groups around North America in and around 1983. That's the way I understand it anyway. They're generally not...

http://bringatrailer.com/2012/08/29/6400-mile-1983-toyota-4x4-sr5-pick-up/ None of the comments on there are mine and the original bid raiser was apparently a putz that welched out when it came time to actually buy. The truck was listed again shortly after and I bought it at his BIN level...

I recently bought (maybe 6 months ago?) a 1983 4x4 Toyota LB p/u for $16k IIRC. It had 6k miles on it and was mostly as new. That's a lot of money for that p/u and it may need a lot more once it's yours. I'd keep looking or make a significantly lower offer.

Noop. Here's mine:

The add'l unsprung weight hasn't been an issue from my perspective. The 3rd's have. Matter of fact I have a fresh set of 4.88:1 gearing en route right now which will bring gearing and speedo/odo back in line. The 255/85-16 is @ 32.5" in diameter and that's a far cry from the 29's most of...

I've got a studded set of the 235/85-16's too. Outstanding tire but the difference between the look of the 255/85 and the 235/85 is big. You'll notice the 255 and it'll look like a bigger and more aggressive tire by far. The 235's you'll probably not notice at all. Also, if you're running an...

Glad to help. The over simplified comparison between BFG and Cooper? BFG typically uses a softer compound and focuses on the car market. Cooper typically uses a harder compound and focuses on the truck market. You'll probably find the Cooper's last pretty well but you might find a...

Cooper Discoverer S/T 255/85-16. Not sure what pressure I'm running right now but normally in the winter I run the back at around 15% lower PSI than the front but that's not too helpful w/ out knowing exactly what the front's set at. The answer in winter is if it's slick out and you're...

This is the 4RNR with 255/85-16's and OME 2.5" suspension.

I run Cooper 255/85-16's on an '03 4Door Taco and on my 1985 4Runner. I love 'em. Both are DD trucks so my perspective on the tire isn't an offroader's but they've been great and I've been running them on the Taco for a few years. Got a studded and siped set for winter and the standard...

Found it. (edit: will post pics as soon as I've got it in the garage)

No affiliation, etc. Sure looks like a nice example though. Ooof. Not CL, Fleabay
