:) Nice photos, nice truck!

I owned one of those SFA 4runners. A nice truck, but your 2004 is much better in just about every way. Also owned an '85 Nissan pickup. A very nice looking truck, and pretty well made too. One weak spot is the transmission, which is a pretty glaring weakness.

Love your Patrol. What engine does it have?

Test drive it. Make sure it shifts smoothly, including reverse. If it's the one I'm thinking of, white in color, the current owner hasn't owned it for very long, which could be a red flag. It had some clutch issues, maybe they're resolved now. I think it was a US FJ60 with an engine and...

Or naturally develop it from the wear of many miles. Usually not the end of the world.

Holy Hell, why not? I could.

I just started looking at this thread, and have a question. What did you do with the original stock LC wheels that were painted? They look awesome. Also, what color of VHT wheel paint did you use on them. Thanks.

Thanks for the tips, Blueboy. I haven't looked at it yet, and not sure I will. Here's the link: http://juneau.craigslist.org/cto/5246995501.html Looks to have photographed around Carcross, Yukon and seems like a legit add.

Yes, so don't molest it too much.:)

Looks clean. I bet it wasn't cheap. The tires look like they belong on a trail beater instead of a nice one like that.

It would probably take a few hundred hours of labor and/or a few thousand dollars to accomplish, but it has been done. Look at that other post a couple down about converting a Troopy.

Sure sounds like it to me. Of course the devil's in the details. 1993 Land Rover Range Rover Classic. AWD, Automatic, V8. 169,900 easy miles. Long Wheel Base, very roomy AWD, go-anywhere SUV, rides like a Cadillac. Good, siped, aggressive tires. Ready for winter! Full-size original spare...

Good point. However: 1. I think the tires he's replacing are approximately the same diameter as the new tires. (31-32") 2. Re gearing is expensive. 3. Driving a 2nd gen pickup for awhile would cure him of the "sluggish" impression his truck has left.:)

On that terrain? Huh. This should help. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/123657-ball-joint-bolts-torque-specs.html

Stopping at the gas station for expensive fill ups so often, perhaps?

Yes, there are a lot of them here in Alaska. The bodies tend to rust out, like any old Toyota, but they're still kicking. Many Toyota people love to heap praise on the FZ Inline 6 found in the 80 series Land Cruisers, yet they're arguably worse for blowing head gaskets and get lower MPGs than...

I think you'd be nuts to ditch the RRC, especially for a newer Rover. Buy a used Subaru with airbags for the girls and keep the Classic.

That's always been my understanding. Note that some trucks with late '84 build dates were actually sold and titled as '85's. From the All Pro Off road site: 1984 - 1985 In 1984 Toyota introduced the first 4Runner to the US market. It featured a rear bench seat allowing for a total of 5...

'84s and some '85's are carbed, a negative in my book, and they generally command an inflated price due to the overly coveted solid front axle. The IFS is a good one, though definitely more complex than the SFA. So, I would look for a later one in the best condition you can find within your...
