Re: building my boys yota
This is great job you both have done ,,very good work,,I like the color and the bobbing of the rear also .. and your using it for what it's built for...say,, what did you do with the salmon plates that you first had on it ? I would be interested in buying them from you ..I used to be your neighbor last year..well, sorta (sucking up I am ),,I lived at Rainier Oregon down the Columbia river where that salmon might if been once upon a time ..lol

.. Whats your thoughts on what truck you like the best for building what you did ,,straight axle or the one in the 88.? I know the ones I had were very popular ,,but not much room in them and the 88 has a bit more.. the 82 I bought new is on the right in this photo and the 83 on the left ,,AC in it and I just had to have it ..but like most of my trucks I sold them.

Re: building my boys yota
Those trucks will run forever. I'd love to get my hands on a 1st gen 4Runner some day.
Have you seen this video?

Re: building my boys yota
Sweet little truck, and that green is a sharp colour!
I have a soft spot for the older Toyotas, had a pickup a while ago and currently have a 1988 4Runner. Fun vehicles and catch lots of attention even when they aren't trying to be flashy! |

Re: building my boys yota
Very nice!
I have always been a fan of the Toyota 4x4 pick ups. Ran around in a nice '83 for many years, then I got a '87 4runner, then a '96, then a '02 which I still have. They just run an run. My '02 I have had since new, and is a TRD, v6, 5spd, 4x4, extra cab. The only thing I have done to it is put in a King suspension with extended UCA's. Plus a taller tire. Haven't had to do anything with it, other than change the oil and replace a battery.

Re: building my boys yota
Absolutely love those older toyota trucks. Too bad I never owned one as I could never really fit in the driver's seat due to my tall height. I did get to use one regularly and enjoyed it because it had the "extra cab" feature where there was probably 8" added to the length of the cab.
