Lots of extras including soft top and an extra set of chrome SR5 rims. I've just started a 3 day auction for this car where you can find a ton of info & pics on ebay (its the only 1985 for sale in Nashville TN). A very well maintained 241K on this truck, which I bet it can do all over again easy!

Yep- same single click just as if it was connected to the spade wire I had disconnected; nada on the crank. My thinking that I had isolated the issue as the ignition switch was because most times the click/no-crank happened, sometimes the amount of pressure applied to the key would seem to be...

So last night after a bit more fishing around I decided the household switch was a bad idea, the whole AC/DC factor, and was able to borrow a buddy's car to pick up a 12v push button, and with enough wire kicking around got everything set up to have a temporary starter button in the cab. Low and...

Thanks much to you both! Rad4- after looking over your divide and conquer post that is super helpful for my immediate needs. Not that I don't mind having an excuse to drive around my work-in-progress 4wd 22re coachman 1 ton conversion, but for all its zombie apocalypse capabilities it does not...

Greetings all! First, let me mention that I've now looked over just about every thread from every forum on this topic. If the new ignition switch and cylinder replacement don't cure what ails me (which I'm pretty damn certain it will) I'll bore the reader with an A-Z timeline of vehicle...

Thanks for the input yall! While financially I'm liking the axle seal/gaskets option on the wallet, which is pretty light due to all the projects on my new in-need-of-TLC house, I'm on the fence with just biting the bullet and dropping $ on the full axle kit so I can (reasonably) not have to...

Greetings T4Rers! The other day when checking my tires, I noticed this on the passenger side: <a href="http://s995.photobucket.com/albums/af80/jaredb3000/4Runner/?action=view&current=psghub.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/af80/jaredb3000/4Runner/psghub.jpg"...

Any chance you have the sr5 gauge cluster to sell?

Greetings all, I could sure use some aftermarket gauge advice (temporary solution) on the matter. I had to take a breather on my truck until yesterday because of school/work. Had I fixed this yesterday or today, I would have been on my way out of town, and I cant justify taking such a well...

Thanks BV- I'm gonna try this tomorrow. Having reassembled (had to go to work the next morning) before I saw this post, I wanted to double check on getting a resistance reading from the wire per your suggestion- With battery on, I'll want to disconnect the wire from the sensor, contact the...

No doubt- might be worth watching for any 85 hunters, definitely steep at the moment for the shape its in. People round here seem to start reeeel high- maybe he'll budge after a while...

Being a straight axle and all, figured I pass it along: 1985 Toyota 4Runner

Yup, green is definitely the illumination wire. For the record for anyone down the line who comes across this thread, lessons learned: yes, there are indeed 13$ harnesses if you look around online enough (the few places I checked around town and online were in the 40$ range, hence the splicing)...

Instead of starting up a new thread, figured I'd revisit this one regarding the temp gauge issue... Having mulled over this forum and yotatech trying to figure out the cause of an erratic temp gauge -usually the needle is sitting at 50% (even when cold) with an occasional flutter to 0%, and...

I checked around town first for an adapter harness, but nobody had one so I opted for a splice. An interesting thing happened when checking the wires- the green wire from the harness, which I believe to be the ACC wire, gets power in ACC but only with the lights on (Parking lights or...
