Up for sale is my 1985 4Runner.
This 4Runner is very much a project - I bought it in September of 2022 with big plan, started on said plans, moved, and have since lost motivation.
A few ins and outs...
- 1985 4Runner with ~245k miles
- Factory front axle
- FlipPac fitted by previous owner
- 22RE with manual transmission
- Small OME lift (guessing ~2")
Since my ownership, I've done the following:
- New brake booster and master cylinder (upgraded, Land Cruiser)
- spark plugs and distributor cap
- new vacuum lines
- new front brake lines (extended, stainless)
- rebuilt entire front axle (all OEM or better)
- RCV axle shafts
- front axle truss and gussets on knuckle balls
- new front brakes (231mm from Tundra)
- 6 shooter knuckles
- rebuilt Aisin hubs
- new trunnion bearings, wheel bearings, wiper seals, etc.
- new power steering pump, reservoir, lines, cooler, and belt
- new tie rod and drag links with FJ80 ends
I have not bled the breaks or power steering system since replacing the above stated parts.
The airbox is current removed (sitting in passenger seat) as I was replacing the throttle body gasket and got distracted.
Wiring shows age but do have a wiring harness included in sale.
FlipPac will need some work.
Vehicle will need to be towed.
