After many years of adventures, it's time for my old 1986 Mini Truck to find a new home.
I purchased this truck in 2008 bone stock. I am the 3rd owner. First owner was an older gentleman who bought it new at a Toyota Dealer in Palo alto. Second owner was a college kid who owned it for a short time before selling it to me. This was a truck I bought on my last day working the 'Toyota Trail Teams' in 2008, and wanted to build it after my lessons learned from 3 years on the road.
I built the truck to be what I consider a 'California Trail Truck.' Its something you can hop in, drive across the state, wheel the hardest 'jeep trails' and drive home. It does 80 mph down the freeway with sound-deadened air conditioned interior. I can hop in it and drive it down I5 across the state just as easy as I can run it across the Rubicon trail.
Here are the full specs on the truck:
1986 Toyota Mini Truck SR5 Extended Cab
Drivetrain:
What it needs:
This truck was built right, with all the right parts. It was done exactly how I wanted it. Only selling because I can't fit my family, so I bought a 5 seat 4-door crawler.
