WOW:eek: That is a VERY nice rig you got there! Super clean inside and out

Sadly enough, we don't have diesel 4runners here in the states

good luck selling selling it! w/ the large amount of time you spent on it, i hope you get top dollar for it!

good, i'm from the bay as well, so i'm glad that these people were caught!

very neat, i'll be interested in what becomes of the finished product!

Bump! Anyone?

Hello, I'm trying to figure out what may be wrong and why it's incredibly difficult to get into gear or at times, change gears while driving. it's an 85, 22re w/ the 5 speed manual. Usually in the mornings or after not being driven for several hours, upon start up, it can be very stubborn to...

I'm currently 19, but when I got my license, my 4runner is what taught me to be a good driver. since it's an 85, it has no electronic safety features that all the new cars have. I learned how hard to hit the breaks before they lock up, how to drive a manual, how to parallel park w/o sensors...

Wow! that is one beautiful rig you got there, I'm amazed at how clean your engine bay is. If it were me, i'd keep it as close to stock as possible, it's just too nice to do anything to it. first gens are getting harder to find as well as time goes on.

I'm actually thinking of doing something like that as well, but in a different fashion. I don't know if anyone has heard of led throwies, but I want to just throw them all over my 4runner a day or two before Christmas. they should stay lit for 2-3 days. here's an example of what i'm talking...

Happened to me last year after heavy rains, and all I did was replace the wires, cap and rotor. You may have old spark plug wires that are getting wet when it rains.

Wow! what a clean looking rig. I'm not really accustomed to seeing a first gen without any sort of rear sag on it. She's a beauty, but with it being an auto and 3.0 kinda makes it a let down. Also i don't know if she's worth the price unless you can haggle down the price.

Thank you all for the pics and info! I'll probably have to do something along the lines of what you guys have done with mounting plywood back there.

I emailed a couple of junkyards around my area, and hopefully i'll be in luck about finding some brackets. If not, i guess i'll have to use creativity in installing them. It seems silly though that they add holes in the panels making it seem like there are speakers.

So i'm currently replacing the aging stereo system in my 85 4runner and while viewing the bed, found out that there are no speakers nor any brackets to place any speakers in the rear of the truck. Now since there are holes placed on both sides of the panels in the rear, I had assumed that there...
