Another 1st gen checking in! I just had an 86 given to me, it's been in a field for almost a decade. I'm new to the off road world and am extremely excited to build this rig up and go explore some new places.
I love that green!!!

AFTER SUCCESSFULLY SUMMITING MOUNT SHASTA FOUR MONTHS FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2012.
I WAS A RECRUIT HERE WHILE THE TRUCK WAS BEING MADE IN JAPAN
UTAH ON MY WAY HOME TO SAN DIEGO AFTER VOLUNTOURISM TO CLEAN LAKE POWELL
(Lake Powell Trash Trackers - Home | Facebook)
HOMESTAKE DRY (PRIMITIVE) CAMP, DEATH VALLEY, 2017
TUCUMCARI, NEW MEXICO DURING MY ROUTE 66 TRIP, DEC 2016
STANDING ON A CORNER IN WINSLOW, ARIZONA, ROUTE 66, 2016.
(Truck in Jackson Browne's real story was actually a Toyota. They used "Flat-bed Ford" to make the song rhyme.)
UMMM... TRUCK COULD NOT CROSS TOMALES BAY - LOL!

red ‘87 has been rolling along just fine. i like the 32x11.5x15 tires.
the white ‘87 has been sidelined since february with a blown headgasket. i decided to pull the motor and do a complete rebuild because the body and frame are in excellent condition.
got the short block to the machine shop in august, and just got it back this week. hope to have it installed and running by the end of next week.

Whaaaat? A 22RE blew a head gasket??? That neeeever happens to anything but 3.0s!!
Said with heavy sarcasm. Glad to hear you’ll have it back on the road soon! It’s a tidy looking rig! Your trailer looks like it needs some love though

how's your trailer? got a pic?
i bought the white 4runner with 282K on the motor. after pulling it, it was clear that a previous owner, perhaps the one i bought it from, used "stop leak" or similar at some point. it is what it is. the red 4r, i bought with 97k miles on it, and it now has over 187k; i've owned it for almost 7 years, and drove it from the northeast US to the desert southwest and back 3 years ago, putting 8500 miles on it in 30 days, with ZERO problems.

Whoa there big fella. I was making a joke. You’ve heard of those, right? There is a ton of hate from the 2.4 owners aimed at the 3.0 and it’s head gasket issues, and I was merely poking fun in the other direction. It’s good to see it getting a fresh engine as the rest of the thing looks pretty mint!
And would you like me to post a pic of my trailer? I can if you’d like...
There seems to be a LOT of very thin skinned folks on this forum. It’s just the internet. Everybody take a deep breath...

another canadian dumass. i didn’t take any offense to your comment about the 22re, but i do take offense to some dope disparaging the appearance of a trailer. it’s a trailer that gets used, not a trailer-queen trailer. it is safe, and has a solid deck surface, and properly functioning lights. all four tires have excellent tread and are true trailer tires.

Many clean MoreFunners!
Clean one, too!If still shopping for valve cover gasket, check out his one from LC Engineering. Excellent value for the money and I'm happy with mine.

A crazy storm came through a couple weekends ago and went straight through my town. Blew lots of trees down, and one tree battled with my truck, but I'd say I came out on top! Everyone is good and thankfully no house damage.
