Great find. You'll chop the roof, add a cage, put awesome coilovers on, and mount 39s on steelies for half the price of my FJ. . .
. . . wait a second

Not exactly sure what direction I want to head with this truck. There are plenty of modified runners out there and few that are unmolested. I may just try to restore it. One thing for sure, I don't have to hunt for end parking spots when I park. It definitely has a different feel than my fj.

. . . or restore it ofcourse - to its original 1985 beauty. Let us know what you do. How much do those go for anyway?

Congrats on a great find. I've got an '84 Hilux now and have had several others but I've always wanted a first gen. 4Skinner.

The mighty 22RE of course! Among the best all-around motors Toyota has ever produced IMO. Lots of torque, revs high, bulletproof, easy to work on, easy to hot rod.

No argument here, that's what I had in my '89 4runner. Congrats and enjoy! I love that you can remove the top on the pre 89's!
