And can you post some detail shots of your winch mount?
Thanks

Those wheels are likely original--one of the two steel wheel styles available in '84 and '85 4runners (and maybe back to 1980 in Trucks). There was a similar, solid steel wheel style available from '86-89 in 4runners and 86-94, I believe in Pickups, (some painted white and some silver) but it had more backspacing (closer to 4.5"). Those white wheels above have 3.75" of backspacing, I believe, and won't fit on '86+ trucks without spacers.
Very nice '85, there, nagc!

Walt has been telling me about your buildup, as I expected top self work, do you still have the 87?
hey bobby, yes i still have the 87.i plan on restoring it eventually, keep it stock looking but add a 3rz when I find a decent one.
as far as the white steel wheels discussed above, most trucks came with one as a spare also

I think I found my ideal 4runner for the swap, going to hopefully look at it this weekend. PM me your number as I have misplaced it.
Yessir, they are the original wheels that came with the truck. You'll see them on a lot of the late 70s early 80s base pickups I believe. I was contemplating going to black steel wheels, but decided I like this original look way better. I don't plan on doing too much to this truck, just keeping it a nice, clean stock vehicle to enjoy.

Those wheels do look good on your truck, and now I am looking for stock 16" options that have similar backspacing. I recently put some IFS limited 4runner wheels on my 84 4runner, and even with the 1.5" wheel spacers that were already on the truck, the 255/85/16's barely stick out past the wheel well. I don't like trucks that look like roller skates, but I didn't think the backspacing would have such a drastic result. From the side, I really like the wheels, but I don't know if I can handle the width. I'm downloading the photos now so I can post.

After countless years, I have finally purchased my ideal 4Runner. I have always wanted a 1985 4runner for the reasons everyone knows, but the other reason is for me to do the diesel swap I have always wanted to do. I picked up a really rough 2wd 85 Toyota pickup with the 2LT diesel several years ago to anticipate swapping the engine into a 4runner. Anyhow, the 4runner is bone stock with exception of a aftermarket radio and the infamous door panel speaker installation, errr. Overall the 4Runner is good condition, I am the third owner and the second owner grew up with the first owners son. At some point I will do a build log of the plans for it. But in the meantime I will do my research and figure out what I what want to do and what order to do it in.
