11B at Harmony Church, Ft Benning.... 1985! :yo:
 
Name is chase, currently stationed in GA "Army 11b" , but originally from CA. Just returned from the Stan 4 months ago & wanted something I could take off road & hang around with, plus serve as my SHTF vechicle :wow2:

Just picked up a 89 4runner, from a fellow soldier who was just looking to get rid of it. Payed a wopping $800 for it.

The good:
It runs & drives/shifts just fine
Only 141k on the odometer
Its a toyota

The bad:
Needs a new rear axle seal, its leaking pretty bad " If anyone can help send me to link on where to purchase one as I cannot find one "

The clutch is going out " sourced a duralast complete kit for $97

& one of the lifters needs to be adjusted, its causing oil to be pushed out of the PCV valve & has a very audible tick.


After the fix the above problems & perform basic maintenance & up keep, I am looking to throw on a set of 35X12.50R15. I took it out today in the mud with a friend who has a 89 pickup & it did very well in about 3-4 feet worth of water. Not sure if this is a proper intro thread, but I figured I would start somewhere.

Nice pick up! The rear axle seal went on my '86 too, I wonder how common a problem it is... Anyhow best of luck fixing it up, and I hope we see more of it down the line here.
