Love it. Way high though. I’ve put OME on every Toyota I’ve ever owned and always loved it. This is already set up. But, at that price you could probably set up the other one samesees. It’s basically exactly what I’d do though.

What do you think a fair offer would be for the green one if it was in very good / excellent shape?

Have the seller send you well-lit pics of the frame rails above the rear wheels. When they say "no major rust" on the frame... that can mean anything from pristine to not quite broken in two. You gotta be closer to the former to buy a 1st Gen, IMO.

$13K is probably market for a very good 1st Gen with a 3.4/slush box.

I think I am gonna buy something, then see how much I recoup after I sell the 4Runner. So.... I'm definitely looking. That beige one keeps getting posted with a lower price and a different link every day. Seems fishy. Anyway... I'm on the prowl for a taco. 12,000 budget tops.

Carfax report shows it was 1 owner Colorado truck until 7 months ago... all good things on report. Seems well cared for. Current owner is LEO in SC. Says he needs a bigger family vehicle. Waiting on more pictures and some other questions from him.

Needs some attention/preservation (inside and out) but that actually is just light surface rust.

 

[captainva]

Thats in excellent condition IMO. Surface rust is inevitable unless you undercoat every year

 

[VA.CRUISER]

I believe the area of most concern is at the rear spring hangers so be sure to check there

For what it’s worth he said he wanted me to see worst areas. He was up front about clear coat and paint issues on hood and roof. I expected that. One area of concern though is around window. Is this rust? He had just sprayed it off…

That's a pretty steering rack and bushing

buy it, the rust is not an issue/treatable.

 

[Explorer4Hire]

I may make an offer. Still thinking. There is a 3rd gen 4Runner in California I’m salivating over but it’s simply too far.

 

[Explorer4Hire]

I don’t know. I maybe had unrealistic expectations. I don’t think it’s too bad at all underneath. Don’t know if I am willing to max my budget on something with body rust bubbling up at the window/roof area.

 

[Explorer4Hire]

It does have the upgrades I would be doing for a while already done... my favorite tires and the correct OME suspension. Sliders seem welded on decently. I think I will make an offer tonight.

Coast to coast vehicle shipping is absolutely bat**** crazy expensive right now.

From what's shown in those pics, I'd give that Taco a B/B- grade. With "A" being like new and "F" being snapped in half. You really gotta look around the rear suspension, though. That's the most trouble-prone area,

Fair. The claim is it is mechanically flawless. Not surprised there with 175K and essentially 1 owner (he bout it from OO 7 months ago then got wife pregnant). I think its a solid deal if I can get it for 12. It should be a reliable truck for me that can tow my utility trailer to dump and get my wife and I to the hospital/firehouse if snow is flying so we can work. Also will be fun for camping and trails if time allows. I will post up if I end up with it. Thanks!!
