15" alloys with 35" Pro-Comp Mud Terrains that have about 75% tread

Custom swing-out tire carrier that is probably the strongest out there
Spare can holder
Hella spot lamps
Classic front tube bumper
3" exhaust with a Magnaflow, sounds really good
Interior has new carpet
LED lights in the rear with dimmer
Custom Reupholstered panels
Rear windshield wiper removed and replaced with an LED camp light (Activated by the Deck Lamp switch)
2013 Impreza Seats
Gauges work except for Tach
OBD2 port
CB Radio
Alpine CD deck
Heater works great
No A/C (only an option in 84)

Small things I would fix since I am really picky:
Front driveshaft I made and always had the intent on getting a professional one made
No center console, was going to put an ammo can in there, but priorities



Truck runs great and will smoke those 35's with little effort. 4WD works perfect and I have taken it on many off-road adventures. I did a 4k mile road trip last summer with no issue. Got around 20 mpg on the highway. Parts are also really cheap for the motor and trans. It has about 20k miles on the swap, so no rickety bang bang stuff going on.

Truck is registered in CA, however you will have to get it smogged if you purchase it. It does not pass as is, there are no cats and it has not been inspected. Now I have done the BAR inspection on an old Starlet before but never tried on this truck as it needs some emissions stuff reinstalled. If you need info on that, just call me.

Selling because I need A/C! Truck will take too much to retrofit it since it was only an option this year and with the larger radiator there is no where to put the condenser. I am planning some trips to the desert and South America in the future so it would be something that I can't really live without. Plus the truck gets a lot of attention, kinda want something a little low key.

Willing to trade for another 1st gen plus cash. Just no junkers please. Swaps are a plus, especially diesel or 5vz. Will consider 3rd and 4th gen Runners and possibly a Land Bruiser. Specifically looking for a 1st gen 4runner V6. I have cash on my side if it's really worth it. Looking to get $7000 and trade of equal value. This is a good deal, I have a lot more than that into it and who knows how many hours.
