Looking for first gen 4runner

I live in San Angelo Texas which is about 3 hours north of San Antonio, 1.5 hours from Abilene, and about 5 hours from Dallas. I am trying to find an unmolested late 80's 4runner, but am not having much luck. Besides this forum, does anybody know of other forums that I can search for my vehicle? Any help is appreciated.

Well, you can post pics without committing to sell!

TJ96TLC: That is a fine looking 4runner, but I think you are a little far from me currently. I don't want to spend more than $4k also so... but you should be able to get what you want with such a nice rig.

With the newest 4Runner wheels... (crappy blackberry photo)

I gave up trying to find one. They are all old and trashed and still too expensive and most of the remaining ones have the 3.slow. Good Luck.

I have a buddy who is going to be stationed in alaska soon. I recommended a first gen 4runner to him. For snow, ice etc. does the 4runner handle it pretty well?

Try AutoTempest

I've been using autotempest.com in my search for an 80, just plug in your specs and it does the leg work on several sites.
