Welcome to ChildrenOfBodom's 1987 4Runner Turbo Build Thread.
This is not a wheeler build. This is a classic Toyota restoration project, with a Supra turbo.
This truck was left sitting for 6 years. At 264k, it was no longer useful to the owner and sent to the junkyard.
I was at the junkyard when it was towed in. I bought the truck for $900 before the wheels could touch the ground.
Be sure to check out my other rig. It started out as a 1999 4Runner base model, with 4 cylinder engine, automatic transmission, and two wheel drive.
Today, the same 4Runner is an SR5 Highlander Edition lookalike, with TRD supercharger, 5 speed manual R150F transmission, and four wheel drive.
