So on a whim, I suggested to my wife we do a road trip west. Want to see our old spot in central Colorado and our favorite hot springs in Ojo Caliente, New Mexico. Surprisingly she is up for it! Heading out later this week in the ‘85 4 Runner. Should be a blast!
Used the 85 to deliver a playhouse to our 3year old grandson. I wouldn’t tow this 16’ trailer on the hihjway with the 4Runner, but we were in town mostly in second gear. Only went about 3 miles, so I felt safe. I think we made someone’s day.
Used the 4Runner to haul a load of gravel to finish burying frost proof hydrant. Then decided to pull my 69 fj40 out of the spot it’s been sitting 6+ years. The 22re in 4lo pulled it without a problem. Sure enjoy this addition to the Toyota stable. Took me awhile to find this 85, so will be...
The wheels and tires that came on our 85 were not my style. Swapped the 32x12.0x15 BFG’s on white spoke wheels, for a more stock size and look.235x75x15 Goodyear Wanglers on Toyota Land Cruiser steelies with hubcaps.
Got a deal on over 3 cords of firewood yesterday. Put the new to us 85 4Runner to work hauling it. Think I made the right choice trading our 98 100 series for the 85.
