Fireguys Well Built Low Mile 80! Factory Lockers!
I need to something with a V8 for towing a boat and trailer so I'm looking at a 4Runner or 100. This has been a great cruiser, we have owned it about four years. It has the factory lockers. 3rd owner, only 117,000 miles on it. It has ZERO rust on the undercarriage, super clean vehicle from CA. Runs excellently. All maintenance and tuning has been done my Brett (Damaged110 screenname ) who is a Toyota Master tech and 80 owner. Fires right up and idles perfectly. Everything works except the antenna. The AC blows extremely cold and doesn't cut out. Truck runs very cool, I've never got it above 210 and I wheel all summer long in Vegas. Leather is in good condition. Driver's seat has the usual cracking and wear but no rips. All other seats including the third row are in excellent condition. Zero leaks and it does not burn oil. I've done just about everything you can do to a 80 in terms of preventative maintenance - mainly because this was used to haul my family so I did want to take any chances. The front and rear axles have been completely rebuilt. Everything was replaced. Here is a build thread I started BIG TONKA! AKA Fireguy's FZJ 80 build. - Expedition Portal

Between the maintenance, low miles, mods, and spares you have one kick *** 80. I spent a lot of time, energy and money on building what I feel is one of the nicest low mile 80's around. Everyone who sees it loves the two tone and says it is a great rig. Low mile 80's that are well taken care of are getting damn hard to find. I'd have no issues at all jumping in it tomorrow and driving to South America.
$17,000. Only trades I'd consider would be a 100 or a V8 4Runner.
I'll get more interior pics tomorrow. Most of these pics are cell phone pics, need to get my good camera back from a friend. Phone 702-845-5207 is best next to PM's. Scot.
