It is with a heavy heart that I offer up my 1985 4Runner for sale. It has been an amazing vehicle, but I'm short on space and want to focus time and energy on my Land Cruiser.
I'll list specs and post run of the mill for sale pics here, but I suggest checking out this link or the one in my signature for the build thread which contains more pictures and lots of details.
Details:
- 1985 Toyota 4Runner. This was the last year the convertible cousin to the pickup was available with a solid axle and the first with electronic fuel injection. If you know these trucks you will recognize that this one is in great shape (keep reading)
- 181,250 on the odometer. The previous owner stated the top end was done including timing chain around 160k. I believe this to be true but have no receipts to prove. Regardless, the truck starts and runs true every time. I flew to Salt Lake City and drove this thing across the country without a hiccup, and I would drive it to South America tomorrow if life would let me.
- Transmission and transfer case have ~2,000 miles and were professionally done at Moab Offroad in Louisville, KY. BTW, feel free to contact Max Dollinger, the owner of the shop, about this truck. They have done all of the mechanical and electrical work and he can speak honestly to the overall condition of this vehicle.
- All-pro suspension including hi-steer - appears to be of the 4" variety
- Steering box is drilled and tapped to accommodate hydraulic steering components
- 33x12.50x15 BFG KM2's on black steelies. Tires have less than 5,000 miles. Full size spare is an older style Goodyear MTR in the same size with half tread.
- Optima Yellow Top
- Supra MAF and K&N Intake by P.O. He also removed the A/C and belt in an attempt to increase power. I don't know about that. I have the parts (among other spares) and they will go with the vehicle should the new owner decide he/she wants air conditioning
- Stock running gear as far as I can tell. I was told 4.88's and Longfields. I am 90% certain the axles have 4.10's. The truck came with Longfield stickers, but I never got around to pulling the axles apart to verify. I'm ignoring this and supposed engine work in my asking price. Maybe it's someone's lucky day!
- Front bumper has been modified to fit a heavy duty winch plate. The truck comes with a newish Warn M8000 - I used it several times on one trip to Coal Creek. It's not pictured below as I recently removed the winch and winch plate to beef up the stock mounting points with 2" square tube. You could hang this truck from the statue of liberty now.
- Rear bumper is homebrew and includes a swing out tire carrier that holds one 5 gallon MFC and a 5 lb propane tank. I also use it for a table/bar when camping (see build thread)
- Inside the vehicle is very clean. I've not cleaned the inside or the outside of the truck for these pics. If I decide to sell local I will shine everything up, but I know you guys want to see it in its natural state. I've included close up pictures of the problem spots - DS door mounted arm rest, center console arm rest, one spot on dash, and PS rear corner that PO tried to bondo but I just left alone.
- Interior also includes custom storage/sleeping platform with 250 lb fridge slides and 250 lb bed slides (see build thread).
- Front seat were swapped out for later model Toyota seats. I'm not sure which ones exactly, but they are much more comfortable than other 1st gens I've ridden in. They are covered in saddle blanket style covers which fit very well and look killer IMO.
- This truck did not come with back seats. Instead it has the coveted seat delete panel. This turns the read of the truck into a, you guessed it, TRUCK bed.
I acquired a set of '85 seats and interior panels to accommodate the seat back latches which is what you see pictured below. The stock bed mat in the rear is really good shape and is made to fit the delete panel as you can see in one of the pics with the seats folded down. The seats fold up fine with it back there, too. There are no rear seat belts.
- Underbelly - it has surface rust that may concern some. No one who has seen the vehicle in person has expressed concern, but I want to be up front about every aspect of the truck in case someone decides to take a trip to pick this thing up. The PO tried to spray paint over a few spots. I have peeled back the paint as much as possible (see below) to expose the surface and show that there are no hollow spots.
- Finally, the truck has a salvage title. I did not know this when I purchased the truck. We had some issues after the sale with the transfer, and by the time I found out I was more concerned with just getting the paperwork done. As far as I can tell there was a collision on the front passenger side. I say that because the fender appears to have been replaced. I ran a carfax a couple of years back that made me think the same thing (can't remember specifics). My guess is the owner let the insurance company total it, bought it back, replaced the fender, and kept on trucking.
- This truck is painted in flat khaki. Again, I made no attempt to clean things up for these pictures. I have 6-7 cans of the matching paint (which is the tan color from the Rustoleum camo line) that will go with the truck.
I'm sure I'm missing something so please feel free to ask questions here or PM me.
Asking price is $6,000.
