22RE truck

[BMFScout]

I'm looking for a 1986-94? 22re 4 cyl, 5 speed truck 2 or 4wd ext. cab or regular, or 86-89 22re 4 cyl, 5 speed 4runner. I am trying to find one of two things. I would like to find one that needs an engine (I have a rebuilt 22re to put in it) and some other minor work for cheap, $1k-ish or less. The other option is to find one that has been garaged and wiped down with a diaper in the $3k range. (OK, maybe just decent paint/interior and mechanically in good shape.) Let me know what you guys see. I was thinking about something that could tow the boat, but I think I will just get something like this for the mileage right now. I'm going to try to get the Belle in condition to tow the boat across town, think that would be a clusterfawk of epic proportions!

[agjohn02]

Did you see the one for $1950 I posted in the good deals thread? It looked pretty nice.

edit- http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/ctd/1529238733.html

[BMFScout]

maybe I'll check and see if it's still around. The pictures alone make me think it's crap, sideways pictures at night and no interior shots. I guess it is fairly cheap.

[agjohn02]

I don't know what it is about the sideways pictures. I've seen many people using them. Maybe they think it adds a bit of artistry to the ad.

[FJAggie07]

Might be able to get him down to 3K but it looks to be nice inside and out...

[BMFScout]

hmmm...think that would go 70 down the highway without fearing for my life?

[FJAggie07]

Yup. 70 may be its top speed but i think it will be fine

[robertf03]

travis salmon says buy that white one.

[uglyota]

what!? Travis is still around? Tell that fool I said hi, be careful to get a magnet anywhere near his face.

Travis, find him a Trekker to put that motor in.

[stx4wheeler]

Jimmy theblue runner is on tx4x4 to he seems to really want it gone I bet he would take 3g's. Interior seems really clean.

[BMFScout]

I wanted to check out the build, but can't find it. I even joined, as BMFScout of course, so I could search, but no go. I don't think I want that truck anyway, but would at least like to check his build out.

[agjohn02]

Are you looking for an off-road rig or a driver? I bet that a 25 yr old toyota build will be more reliable than a freshly modified truck. What do you think?

I don't know the guy, I have just seen him post but here his slight build up on Expedition Portal. I also know the guy took it on a long trip across mexico or something so it has to be semi reliable...

I'm looking for something to drive everyday. If we are leaving the DFW area though, we'd be in the Honda anyway. I'm trying to get something that isn't boring, but also cheap. Finding another scout had crossed my mind, just figured I'd get better mileage in a toyota. I'm not in a hurry, going to sell Melanie's Dodge and can drive Old Yeller for awhile if I need to. Will probably end up in a boring 2wd toyota pickup, but thought I could entertain ideas. The goal is something cheap, thinking I should be getting a better job soon, but still need to save some money.

[jasonjuch]

you could sell me that 22re for cheap then i can get the 85 yota with a bad engine i bought from Eckert to run :)

[BMFScout]

That is an option, how much is cheap? We just rebuilt it a year or so ago, so you know what we've got in it...

[jasonjuch]

well i just picked out a short block from a salvage yard in austin today so ill be able to pick it up tomorrow and hopefully it will work but ill be sure to hit you up if this short block is bad..

I've wondered this about toyota for a while, aren't those trucks identical in every way except front body mounts and suspension? What seperates north american and rest of the world early 90s toyota trucks other than a badge that says hilux and a solid axle?

[uglyota]

diesel motor options, quad cab options, emissions standards, RHD options

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I was just looking at a blue crewcab hilux in the chow hall parking lot and thinking to myself this would sell like hotcakes at home! I wouldn't mind having a small 4door truck like that to run around the ranch and make trips to town in. Maybe the colorado 4doors will drop cheap enough to grab one of them in a few years.

EDIT: was a 4x4 diesel also. Will have to check on the front axle though.

It's not outrageous for a clean vehicle like that. I would like to see some of the interior and hard top to make the final call.

What is that called when two words mean the same thing pretty much and you use one to describe the other???

Give em 600 bucks and take it home!

[BMFScout]

What is "tipical bent an old truck will." ?? I found one very similar I like, but it has some hail damage and is in Azle. Azle is a long way to go to find out if the truck is hammered to death or not. I think I might try to get some more pics before driving that far.

[BMFScout]

http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/cto/1594007666.html

Talked to this guy, he made it sound like the awesomest truck ever that just needed an engine. I got some pics, hard to tell exactly but it's black and grey interior. The interior needs some help, and it' hard to tell how hammered the body is from the pics, but the paint is shiny. If it weren't all the way out in Azle, I'd just run over and have a look myself.

[uglyota]

You may be asking or looking specifically already, but remember that not all '85 and later trucks are EFI...

[bburris]

I'll ride with you guys if you are going out there see it this weekend...

[BMFScout]

The white one chris posted got flagged, that is annoying. I'm thinking it's someone that wanted it and has too much time on their hands.

Eric, I have the technology to make anything fuel infected. If Scott can make one run in his buggy, I can make one run in a real truck! :flipoff2:

I'm about to give up on it and buy whatever cheap truck I find that is running.

[uglyota]

"Technology"? Or "nothing better to do with your time than to"?
:flipoff2:

[BMFScout]

I have a wrecked 22re truck with complete everything, and another working model in the driveway. I also have more time than money.

[BMFScout]

Is this truck gay?

you mean totally freakin awesome? Those look so sweet with a little lift and 33s

unless it look slike pro2 truck, then its not.

no, but the guy selling this scout is:

but that's a ScoutMADness restoration! they're the collins bros of Scouts.

[BMFScout]

I'm also open to suggestions. I'm selling the fiance's Stratus, hoping to get ~4K. So this is my upper limit for budget, I'd like to spend less. I would like something I can haul the dog around in the back and not care if he gets it muddy. I would also like this to get at least 20 mpg. It would be cool if I could tow the boat with it a few miles across town, but not completely necessary. 4x4 would be neat, but also not necessary. It must have AC or the ability to "AC-ify" it, and let's say make it to Houston and back if I had to. If you have any other ideas, I'm all ears.

Saw a 1980 Scout II for sale in Brenham for $2800. It had some rust issue on the cowl and quarters. typical of sII's ive seen. But was a Turbo diesel with a 4spd. crawled underneath and it had the D300. Completely stock from what i saw. interior looked decent.

didnt get the number, but its sitting off of 105 if anyone wants to take a look.

Think dad decided to buy something fun off craigslist and is going to sell me his toyota. I'm hoping he buys something cool. I'll probably drive his old yota for a year or so, help get back on my feet financially.
