Bump... Price Reduced

Thanks MtBuck, I have!!! I'd love to see her reach a half million miles, but it's time to sell. I just bought a '12 Outback (6-speed), and my wife drives a '99 4Runner (5-speed), so the '87 drew the short straw...

** SOLD** 1987 4Runner 22RE 5-Speed in Charleston, SC - $2,750 OBO It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to finally part with my beloved 1987 Toyota 4Runner. She has a strong and reliable 4cyl (22RE), with a 5-Speed Manual, and 4x4. I purchased her in 2010, with 210,000 miles from...

My dad has an 07 FJ auto/4x4 with about 180,000 miles that has had fuel/running issues on the interstate. I live in SC and they live in WV. Every time they've visited recently the truck runs rough, sputters, and shuts off at least once during the 500 mile trip down (never back up). The first...

Mechanic said they ran a test on the coolant system and a compression test to diagnose. They said I've got low compression at the #1 Cylinder.... Thoughts? Also, I just spoke with a buddy of mine that is a "hobby mechanic" that has rebuilt a few engines. He also said the Head Gasket would be...

Thanks KidV! I'm gonna call and dig a little deeper as to their diagnosis and report back...

KidV, I appreciate the fast response as always!!! Sorry, should have clarified... They are NGK plugs, just happend to buy them at Autozone... I have considered doing it myself actually... But I thought you had to take the head to a mechine shop to "do it right"..... ? Thanks!

Hey y'all, As are most of my posts, I'm in a pickle. My '87 T4R (22RE w/5-Speed) started idling rough earlier last week and would almost shut off when at a stop light unless I kept my foot on the gas a little. Once up to speed it would run fine. No back fires, hickups, noticable lack of...

Awesome!!! Thanks man!!! That makes total since now. When I bought the truck the PO told me that he thought that wire had a bad connection. I guess he was in the ball park with trying to figure out the issue was. I should have listen to him and started there three years ago... Oh well you...

Truck wouldn't start again this morning, not even when jumped, had to take my wife's '99 to work. Anyway... KidV, Yeah I thought the "engine sludge" comments the guy from Autozone was making was a little strange. Even if it did have build up in the engine from being so old and possibly...

Hey y'all, It's been a long while since I've been on here. After a new job, new baby, and wife going back to school full time, life has caught up with me and there's no time for the other things... Excuses are like A-holes though right? Anyway, I've got a big issue, one that's plagued me...

No one wants to chime in?

For some reason my text didnt get posted... Hey y'all, I'm in need of some new shoes for my stock '87 4runner and have it narrowed down to two tires and need some advise. 30x9.5r15 BFG ATs (29.5"x9.4" on 7.5" rim) OR 265/70r15 BFG Rugged Terrains (29.7"x10.7" on 8" rim) I've have the...
