oh yeah, other than the info given earlier, I can't tell you where exactly the 4runner in caldwell is. But I'm going home sunday morning, and will try to get the exact location on it then.

I thought the Japanese invented ripping off designs? Ever heard of Microsoft?
Fred/Brett, you know anything about having to deal with ****ty Chinese reproduction parts of American "manufacturers" (That's in quotes because Americans manufacture less and less each year and it's going to be the death of this Country)
Can I still forge signatures on titles, or is that going to be outlawed too? "John Liebowitz didn't sign there? Well hell, hold on I'll be right back, I think I saw him in the parking lot. I'll go chase him down." My favorite when I flip something is to never take the title into my name, learned that from the Great Brandini. I don't think he's had a car in his name since the Nixon administration.
I thought I told you earlier to buy American, Toyota trail rigs are :rainbow: :) Busa went American, Joseph/David got rid of most anything that was foreign, Danny's Scout is b!tchin, take after their example :)
This thread sucks! :flipoff2:
That truck looks rusty, but look at the outside of the frame in front of the rear fenderwells. If it's not perforated it's good. Mine is perforated and hasn't broken. The parts you weld to are all double-thickness anyway
If Danny's scout is "*****in" what does that make your's and Fred's? :flipoff2:Quote:

The 4runner is white, and is sitting to the right of the house. Just past this a mile or so is a county road, also to the right. There is a house just off the highway on that county road with another grey first gen truck sitting by the fence.
theres an blue 86 ifs efi at auto star auto parts on hwy 21 east that they said runs and the body is good shape the interior is trashed $1100. clear title
is it new? there was a black one there as well, but the engine was gone allready
guy didnt want to sell the 1st gen truck by the fence since he was going to use it as a ranch truck. said it ran but had no title. if its still sitting there in 3 months ill probably bother him again. Stopped by the house with the white 4runner, no one answered the door. it has a SFA, its lifted, but looks rough and is missing the motor and who knows what else.Quote:

And even that has been extensively documented, and ready made conversion harnesses exist. The nice thing is these engines are not that hard to come by, are fairly cheap, and will easily run 70 mph with 35s while still making 17+ mpg. Yes, it may stretch your current budget somewhat, but I think several people have done the swap for under 1500 dollars, with great results. Just something to think about in case you find something nice that is missing an engine
did you check on the red 4runner? The one the thread was all about?
i saw a 4runner at ahmed's place out on 21
never got around to the red one. they did sell it for $1200 this past weekend though.
i think im going to cruise down 21 and look at the '86 tomorrow. and whats this ahmed? if i find a 4runner im not wasting much on a swap. thanks for the info though. there just no reason to when i got a 283, powerglide, and NP205 sitting at the house. looking to find something somewhat complete so I can slowly build it and not have to go balls deep right away.
was that the newer 4 door version? If so, last time I was there it was marked as being sold. Also the FJ-80 axle's were gone as well
not it looked like a blue(i think) old body style, not the newer red one that was there a while back.
I may need to make a trip back out there as well and see what he would take for a set of rear springs from one of those trucks.
where are these places at?
next to Mack bolt and steel on HW 21
went and took a look at the blue 86. it doesnt have much of interior unless you count the aluminum cans. body is in decent condition. i dont think its worth 1100 though.
Nice truck, decent price

but it is 2wdQuote:

They frames are actually better for performing a SAS because there is less to cut off and the front of the frame allows you to run a lower lift. Plus they are normally alot less abused and in better shape. If you can get one for a good deal, don't ignore it simply because its 2wd
Yeah that project Quasimodo on Pirate started out as a 2wd truck... that sucker sure is purdy.
