SOLD SOLD SOLD
Selling my '92, rarely driven at this point (<750 miles since Nov. 2016 elk hunt in Flagstaff). Trips to our cabin up north (where I keep this 75% of the time) have been rapidly decreasing as our kids get older and have lives of their own. Four cars isn't ideal and I've also got a second 4WD so it's time to let this one go.
History
Two owners ago:
No major rust (pics show some caked-on silt from the White Mountains), no drama or stories here, no rush to sell and hoping this goes to someone who'll appreciate it as much as I have. Pics show rear bumper off, I intended to install a rear tire carrier but never did, rear bumper included in sale.
Lots of pictures here, a few posted below.

History
Two owners ago:
- Professional Build documented and included radiator replacement, front axle rebuild, numerous hose replacements, ARB lockers (front and rear), ARB bull bar, Warn winch, lift/suspension and tires: Vid 1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7, V8, V9, V10, V11, V12, V13, V14
- His For Sale Ad (shared as additional reference and further details work done prior to sale)
- He added the Baja Rack and did the R134A refrigerant conversion of the A/C system (both expensive)
- His For Sale Ad here on Mud (I will link to it when I can find it)
- Picked up July 2013 with 139,206 miles (so 15,XXX miles driven by me in ~4.5 years)
- Love this thing - my first 4WD, helped me get started with hunting trips with my brother, camping with friends/family, been to the Grand Canyon and back with no issues, exploring a TON of the White Mountains here in AZ (close to our cabin) and generally being outdoors A LOT (routinely wake up before dawn on Saturdays during the summer, grab some coffee, and just go find some elk or deer to look at.....good stuff)
- Over $6K invested, details:
Mods/upgrades:
- HIR bulbs (driving and brights)
- Rock Rails
- Gobi Ladder
- WagonGear rear storage
- Nitro 4.88 gears (installed by Camelback Toyota)
- "Big Brake" upgrade ('93 rotors, 100-series pads, remanufactured calipers from NAPA)
- Spare tire leveler
- PFran reverse LED bulbs, interior LEDs
- JVC stereo, Pioneer speakers, 8" subwoofer (mounted in rear quarter panel, no loss of storage space), doors and rear tailgate lined with noise-reduction mats
Maintenance:
- new exhaust and muffler (Y-pipe back)
- all required (fluids, filters) - oil, transmission, diffs, transfer case, radiator
- driveshaft balanced
- u-joints replaced (OEM)
- new battery (extra OEM battery included in sale)
- radiator cap, distributor, plugs, wiring loom (all OEM)
- rear pinion seal
- all vacuum lines replaced
- brake reservoir cap and float (OEM)
- ISV and PCV (OEM)
- fusible links (OEM), EFI relay (spare included)

If I were keeping, things I'd do:
- driver's front seat bolster shows wear - OEM seat cushion included in sale, I never found matching material so that repair isn't one I got to
- permanent mount for air compressor
- grommet to keep engine bay heat out of interior (simple)
- Hi-Lift mount
- wire-in the IPF lights (never got around to it, wiring included with vehicle)
- replace window motors with Dorman units - they work fine but cold or really wet rains noticeably slow down raising the windows
- fuel tank sock filter (cheap)
- consider full EGR delete
