Seems like everyone who sells their '85 4Runner says they wish they still
had it. But I hardly drive mine anymore so it's time to pass it on.

No frame cancer on this truck.

On shipping... I'd prefer a face-to-face transaction between principals, so you can see firsthand what you are getting. San Diego is a nice place to visit, then followed by a hella nice road trip back across the country. But could ship if you have an agent here you trust, understand I won't have time to make any shipping arrangements myself.

And course I'd prefer a full-price offer, just advertised it today and I think the price is pretty fair given what's in it, but let me know what you can work out.

1ststatecruiser, you are over your PM quota... clear some out and I'll reply.

Man! I wish I had $4400 kicking around and a one way ticket to cali. This would be mine in a heart beat.
 
Nice rig for the price. Yes, you will miss it. I wish I still had mine.

I know I will. But if we didn't sell ours how would other guys ever get know how really sweet these trucks are :). Stock they are fine, but with a mild build, locked rear with crawler gears, they are a magic carpet ride.

Thanks for the comments,

SOLD...

The truck has been sold and has gone on to its next set of adventures.

Thanks to everyone for your interest. I tried to answer everyone's questions as they came up. I apologize if anyone feels like I left them hanging, but a mudder showed up with cash in hand...
