I'm stoked! This is a very very clean 4Runner. No fresh pics until my girl gets home in a little bit so here is a teaser from the ad. It's more impressive in real life....

I know :grinpimp: EFI, Auto (kind of sucks I guess, I like manuals), very little rust, 2 year old engnbldr head with some type of stage 2 cam (haven't dug through the paperwork yet) and through further investigation I discovered it has a Doug Thorley header as well :grinpimp: Im getting more stoked by the minute......
 
So far, no progress since removal, I need to get my hands on an engine stand before the fun can really begin.. :)

I am officially jealous of your engine though : O
 
Oh don't be jealous of mine, it will probably be going through what yours is soon. I want to put a nice bored out lower end in it. It already has an Engnbldr head with some sort of stage 2 cam, and a Doug Thorley header. Im stoked!
 
I was wondering when you'd chime in :flipoff2: I like your rig a lot, it's actually inspiring some of what I'm going to modify on mine. I did find a once in a lifetime deal, I'll admit that.....:grinpimp:
 
$800!?!?!

There's a guy at work (who lives in Ft. Collins) who's been looking for a runner or pickup in clean, straight kind of shape. It's been a while since I've looked for a 2nd-3rd generation pickup or runner (being that I've got the only one I'll ever need :) ), but helping him look for one has reminded me of just how valuable they are. Talk about a steal!

Nice find! Wicked cool truck!

I know, the funny thing is I didn't have any more than $1000 to work with so I was just searching around for any beater toy 4x4 at all, very hard to find one that runs around here for that little money. Seems like when they cost $1000 they all need a headgasket lol, like that's the "blown headgasket special" or something. One morning I saw the ad, called the guy, he said it ran, sent him money that day. People really do think these things are made of gold, but only mine is :flipoff2:
 
Well it's still got 99 problems but rust aint one of em :D. It's got some cooling system issues, which he did tell me about. The radiator cap was about to fall off it was so loose, fixed it with a hammer, started running warm again, pulled the tstat, and now it runs cold. Monday it will be getting a new radiator and tstat.
