My New Toy

[kgblazerfive]

Bought it today as a DD, good in snow decent gas mileage can fit my kids and maybe might do some work to it

needs a tilt wheel though and the power steering put on.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Nice. What year? Fuel injected?

 

[kgblazerfive]

86 and yup FI

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Nice. Know a guy with a '89 that's deceptively stock but actually has a SAS.

Kill to find one in good condition for a decent price. All either rusted out and expensive or just expensive.

I finally found some fellow chevy guys that like yotas. I cant believe it
I constantly get s#!t at work for having toys. My main love is 73-91 burbs or crewcab shortbox conversions. But my most capable 4x4 I've ever owned was a 90 4runner, stock with cheap M/T's on it. Since then I've had a 2008 double cab 4x4 tundra, and now I have a '11 camry. Shoulda kept the tundra sorry for the hijack and that is a sweet 4runner. Cant find em like that in Iowa

I have wanted one for awhile just never really fond one, once the Astro died was doing some thinking about the cost to put a V8 in it. Just a tranny and a set of headers almost equaled the price of the 4runer. So went with it

I had an 87, it was great. Got just about 20 mpg all the time.

But it was hard putting car seats in the back......and 3 kids were tight
Soooooooooo i parted it out, Need any parts...

lets see need a tilt wheel, a nicer back seat or a cover, a new switch for the dome light, a rear window switch it has a toggle switch now. Have to fix the rear key switch so it will roll down the back window. It doesn't have any carpet so got to figure out what I am doing there. If I can find a solid axle cheap and the mounts might just do a swap, once the burb is done.

I have several buddys with toys, will ask around and see what I can find for you, as far as carpet goes just get some new stuff I have never seen a toy of that generation with good enough carpet to consider pulling it out

nice, love the toyota's, a little on the small side, but pretty damn reliable. I use mine for DD duties as well.

 

[kgblazerfive]

Im finding it really hard to not build this thing and I have had it what like two days

 

[blazinzuk]

I can talk you out of building it

 

[kgblazerfive]

Yeah hows that, you gonna start the cage on my burb for me

 

[kgblazerfive]

Nice. Know a guy with a '89 that's deceptively stock but actually has a SAS.

I paid $1350 for it by the way

That could be one way

I have been looking for a decent condition 4runner to use as the DD for a while now, and most are either way too spendy (and rusty), or just plain rotted and beat to death. I wouldn't mind a bit of rust, but when they are clearly beat to death and still asking 1500 for them, it just isn't worth it.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

I paid $1350 for it by the way

 

[76zimmer]

I paid $1350 for it by the way

will you take 1400$ for it?

 

[kgblazerfive]

Hey I cleaned out the back it got to be worth more then that now

 

[76zimmer]

Yep your right....I just want an old rust free vehicle someday.
