Toyota Sunrader 4x4

[fly12fire]

This isn't mine but I own 2 Sunraders and this thing is awesome. It's the first Sunrader 4x4 I've seen with the full floating axle and custom 15" duallies and a 5 speed. For some reason most of these 4x4's are automatic which I think is stupid. It's on ebay and price is still low. don't know what the reserve is

There was a clean 1985 Sunrader 4x4 for sale here in town last week. The guy was asking $13k. It's gone from CL so I assume he sold it. Cool trucks but he wouldn't answer my question about how it performed in the Mountains out here in Wyoming.

Yeah I heard that Sunrader in Wyoming was sold in one day. I don't have a 4x4 but I've been exploring the Sierra Nevadas for almost 7 years in my Sunrader 4 banger and never had a problem. The only thing I have to watch out for is my holding tanks and big ruts or rocks. I have hauled rocks out of the way and filled in ruts. The 4x4s have much higher clearance than mine.

Sunrader in Wyoming now down to $11K. The owner took it to Toyota and found several things including cluthch belts and hibs needing attention. very honest seller but still for sale.

Do you have contact info for him. I know several people who tried but thought it was already sold

that is sweet... is it a conversion to 4WD?

 

[fly12fire]

No, 26 were built with Factory 4x4 chassis. They are super nice take anywhere RV's. I have 2 but not 4x4's.

That is the coolest camper I have ever seen! I wish I could find one of those in the midwest.

Curious if it ended up selling or not.

1985 Toyota Sunrader FG-180 RD 4X4

I listed the Sunrader 4X4 you are discussing on craigslist.com and toyotamotorhomes.com several months ago. It is not mine, but I am helping an elderly friend sell it. There was considerable interest in it. But based on several discussions with potential buyers, I soon discovered I did not understand the vehicle as well as I should, nor did I have an adequate understanding of the axle issue. I decided to remove the RV from sale until the vehicle was fully functional and I could write a more accurate description. The owner had the vehicle inspected by Toyota and all deficiencies were repaired. I am now trying to sell it on eBay at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd...9&item=160676230855&sspagename=STRK:MESELX:IT
It is a great vehicle and just as clean as it looks. The owner purchased it new in Reno in 1985.

Very nice little unit Barry, and the price looks reasonable. I will forward the link to a few friends. Good luck with the sale.

I'm picking up an 86 Sunrader Motorhome with 22RE. It should get substantially better fuel mileage than my 2012 Tacoma DCLB Quadcab. And I got it for less than the mods on my Taco cost.

It's 2WD but wondering how difficult it would be to swap to the 4wd running gear.
