'85 4runner in Vermont

New pictures with updated wheels and tires.

• Factory Solid Front Axle and fuel injected 22re 4-cylinder engine. 5-speed manual. Red with a white, removable top. Tan interior with easy-clean vinyl floors.
• 117,3XX miles (I still drive it a few times a week)
• Title in hand
• Really nice grey cloth front seats out of an 87 4runner SR5, these are the fully adjustable ones that everyone wants, clean and comfortable.
• Top quality Sony CD Stereo and upgraded speakers.
• Midland CB and 3ft. Firestick Firefly antenna
• 31x10.5-15 BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires all around on Land Cruiser wheels. Rears are new, fronts have about 5k miles.

The truck came to me with a few engine issues and no expense was spared in bringing everything up to snuff. The following was completed approximately 1 year and 3000 miles ago.

• My trusted, ASE Certified mechanic took a good used short-block and thoroughly checked the bottom end, also installing new bearings. A new OEM oil pump and all new seals were installed. New timing chain seals and new water pump. New OEM Toyota Clutch. The top end was redone with a new head gasket, and the head was shaved true. A good used camshaft and valve train were installed and it is quiet and smooth. It has a new Optima Red Top battery, as well as many other "little parts" that were replaced during the engine work. Newer radiator, truck runs to spec with no overheating issues at all. In the year since the engine work, it has developed a small drip, a few drops after a long drive. The winter oil undercoating makes diagnosing the drip difficult so I planned to deal with it in the spring.
• New OEM Cat-back exhaust with a clean used front exhaust down pipe,
• The truck makes excellent power (for a 22re) and goes down the road nicely.

I love this truck and put a lot of money into it with the intent of keeping it a long time, but I can't deny my Classic Cruiser longing any longer and I'd like to move on to an FJ40 or FJ55.

New Price: $4250, pm or email: david@nomadcom.com.

Thanks for looking.

Took her for a nice drive last night and love the way it rides now. I can actually heare the radio now.

The AT's are so much smoother and quiter then the Xterrains were, glad I made the upgrade.

Since the proceeds of this sale will fund a Cruiser purchase, I'll happily entertain trade offers for a similar condition FJ40, FJ55, or FJ60.

UPDATE!!!

Just had it in for service, the oil drip has been diagnosed as a crank pulley seal, supposedly an easy fix but it's so small I haven't bothered... too cold.

I also had the front wheel bearings adjusted and she's driving like a dream. More money out of my pocket, same price to you.

$4500 obro.

Nice truck! I was actually looking for a nice 84-85 4Runner before I gave up and bought an FJ60! Don't regret it but I still love the hilux chassis. good luck with the sale!

 

[Sporin]

Thanks. I really want to get back into a Cruiser.

I'd really like an FJ40 but I don't think it will be in my budget. An FJ60 is my second choice.

snow day bump.

Truck was s beast in the snow this morning. Started right up and dealt with the unplowed roads with ease.

 

[G-Cat]

Does this Runner have air conditioning or power steering?

Thanks

 

[Sporin]

Power steering, electronic fuel injection, great heat. It has A/C and the PO converted it over to the newer refrigerant but this summer it didn't blow cold. May just need a recharge, but no guarantees.

 

[Sporin]

Monday Bump.

Love the truck....Don't do it!

I did exactly what you are talking about. Sold my red/white runner for a 60. Don't do it! Don't get me wrong....I'm not trading my 60 either.
