Was planning on waiting till spring to post this up, but I figured I'd get the ball rolling early. Thought it'd be fun to have a little car to zip around in. And it is, but life in the fast lane just isn't my style. I prefer puttering along in the right lane.
It looks like it's never been driven in the winter before-the underside is extremely clean. No rust anywhere, all bolts are easy to remove. Car was taken care of pretty well before I brought it. I did spend a fair amount of time and money fixing things that they had let slide. I thought I'd keep her for a few more years, so I didn't mind.
$6500 or would love to trade for a 100 series or a 4th gen 4runner. Willing to add some cash on top for the right one.

-oem tool kit is still in the trunk

previous owner installed poly trailing arm bushings-they are in great shape but have the typical poly bushing squeak-can't hear them if the top is down
