1985 4Runner: What should I look for?

[george5]

Hi guys,

I did a preliminary search but couldn't find any answers.

I'm going to go look at an '85 4Runner tomorrow and was wondering what I should look for. The truck is located in southern california but I'm not certain if it's always been here. Are there particular problem areas I should be on the lookout?

If anyone has any links to threads on t4r or other sites I'd REALLY appreciate it!

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

Probably too late, but rfame rust is the biggest problem. But with a Cali truck it probably isn't an issue.
