Media Readers Rides, for pics and specs on your Toy(s).

[ridgerunner]

Land Cruiser guy who reaccessed his needs and wants- the needs won out.

94 pickup, 187K, stock everything + some dents. Wish list: 4.7 'case, e-locker, rebuilt rear springs. It'll probably always have 235s and IFS.

This was some Kiwi inspiration from Antarctica- a stockish hilux. Diesel, trayback, body lift, 33s.

You sold your Cruiser.. Blasphemy!

Don't feel bad I did the same thing, it'll serve you well and all of us will be a positive and pushing influence on you I'm sure.

p.s. ROFL, your wife looks just like mine does when I do those type of shots.

It's the "Can we get going already and do you really have to sit in a field shooting pics of your vehicle!?" look.

Errr... it's actually my mom- took her out to a local recreation/ wildlife sanctuary area yesterday. She was a cruiserhead herself when she and pops bought a 74 FJ40 new off the lot. She understands.

No offense taken TOMCOLLINS. When I was young, I raced my truck off-road, sand dragged, mud dragged and mud bogged. Now that I am older I just go for Ice Cream.

Here's the 81

Air pressure was still at 13PSI for the day.

Doing some upgrades this year to her... gotta get her ready for the drive down to the Rubicon and back. Perhaps a 2.7 or the 3.4 might get slotted in before hand.

Everything under the cab is Marlin.

Freeze, submit a ROTM or Build thread, I'd love to see the details, especially the bed storage deal.

My Toy

1983 Toyota SR5 Mojave Ltd. Ed.-Black Package 4x4 Sport Truck.

 

[arndog123]

Wow! That's a clean Yota you got there.

 

[suncomb1]

Thank you ARNDOG123. I am the original owner. I raced it in the 1980's then tore it down in 1990 and built it as you see today. I was always glad I used quality materials and components when I did the build for all I have to do now is maintain and drive it.

CL find: 1987 4runner (SURF) 22RE EFI Turbo

Just purchased. 1987 4runner (SURF) edition. 22RE EFI Turbo, automatic transmission, bone stock; digital instrument panel (COOL!) Very little rust/wear. Hideous red interior (worn but no tears or cracks). 180,000 miles.

I'm more of a LC guy, but have always loved 1st gen 4runners and trucks. How rare is this thing? In this condition? Surf edition? Turbo?

Anyways, I'm a purist. So, no cutting, tubing, huge tires, etc... Maybe some BFGs AT or TM.

Thoughts?

That's a pretty nice 4Runner, too bad about the red interior... Rare? Well they only made turbos for 2 years, 86 and 87, but not horribly rare I' say. Enjoy it!

 

[daniel.watters]

Yeah, I read on wikipedia where these sr5 turbos came with the heavier rear cases (offered with the V6 runners). It goes on to say that these (turbos) were produced only a couple years but the SURF sr5's had the all digital dash. I personally have never seen an all digital dash like this.

 

[NorCalBorn]

Anyone else noticing that this is either one of the first batch ran for international export or a body swapped cab? That's a 3rd-Gen Hiux/Pickup chassis, look at the front suspension and steering, same as on the 2nd-Gen 4Runners.

This was some Kiwi inspiration from Antarctica- a stockish hilux. Diesel, trayback, body lift, 33s.

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

Yes, that's a Hilux 95+ and they came with IFS or Solid front axles I believe. I think they retained the beefier 86-95 IFS instead of the Taco IFS...
