Hey Hey...n00b here..Lovin' my 86

Just bought an 86 4runner 3 days ago..Loving it so far..22re 5spd, 3" lift, newer tacoma wheels etc..Pretty much stock.

Paid 2200 for it, which including about 1500 in audio stuff (dvd player/tv/sub/amp) etc..Never really been into that stuff, but since it came with it I'm not complaining, it sounds nice.

When I bought it, I was told the starter was going out..Wasn't a big deal for me..A starter on these things is a 20 minute job.

Day after I bought it, replaced the starter..Still clicked..lol, great...Hopped on good ol' google and did some reading..Found out that it's a common problem on these things, so yesterday I went to autozone, bought a standard 50amp relay, some wire and hooked it up..works like a charm, fires up on the first crank and no more clicking!

There was also a folder in the glove box that was about an inch and a half thick..It had reciepts dating all the way back to 1986, including the original window sticker etc..It was pretty trippy, poor man's time machine right there.

Pictures aren't that great, haven't had a chance to take any decent ones, I'll try tomorrow.



Sorry about the girlfriend in the way, lol.

2200 is a good price for an AZ truck, it looks nice.
Here on the rightcoast we have to deal with rust, out your way they're rust free.

I've had that starter problem on 2 Toy trucks

Looks very nice - lets see some topless pics!

(I'm referring to the 4Runner of course )
