SOLD!
Sold to local buyer for $6,200.
Hi all,

I'm selling because I'm getting into a FJ100 next. This is a tough decision because I've put so much time and emotion into bringing this 4runner back to life. This is a great rig that will surely bring someone lots of enjoyment for many years.

The mileage on the truck is 352,000, however, I consider this to be frame mileage now, considering all of the recent work that has been completed and parts replaced. See history below to better understand:

’87 Toyota 4Runner SR5 – “The rogue”
22re with 5-speed manual
4x4 with upgraded suspension
Rebuilt back to stock specifications and design intent
Located in Santa Barbara, CA

<Working on posting more photos this weekend>

Asking $6,400.00

My philosophy for parts replacement is to buy it quality the first time and know it lasts a lifetime. When working with mechanics I ask them to use premium parts. When I buy parts I use these sources, in this order:
• 22REPerformance
• Toyota dealer
• RockAuto (premium grade only)
• Marlin Crawler

History since I’ve owned:

2/15/15 – Purchased out of AZ (AZ truck for prior life)

12/15/18 (352,000 miles)
• Oil pump gasket replaced
• TPS replaced
• Output shaft gasket replaced

The basics: Oil change every 3,000 miles, or now 9 months, since I only drive 100 miles/month. I use premium fuel. I log my mileage and fuel consumption in a book, every fill up -17mpg city/21 freeway.

What the Rogue “wants”:
• He wants a paint job
o The body is in excellent condition, for 30 years old
o Small random dings and nothing substantial
o The clear coat has faded on the upper half
• Miscellaneous panel clips/hardware – Very minor - I can explain.
• Fuel level sensor only accurate for first 1/3 of tank

What the Rogue “needs”:
• The transmission cover at the shifter needs a gasket. I’m waiting for Marlin to re stock their shift kit, which will include the gasket. No real urgency on this since seam is not under pressure.
• Front brakes occasionally squeak. Need pads in near future.

Wish I had more disposable income. That's my birth year and everything. Great looking truck. Hope she finds a nice home.
 
Lifestyle...

My wife and I explore CA in this truck. She prefers the gas mileage of her subaru xtrek, but I prefer the space and cool-factor of the 4Runner!
The rig gets a 3 hour drive from SB to Carrizo Plains where we have a family property to campout on. From elevation 0 at the beach, up Pine Mountain (5,100 feet) then back down to 2,000 feet at the property. The truck never flinches on that trip, and is a blast to drive the curvy mountain roads - almost sports-car-like.
Once we get there we set up the rear cargo area for sleeping accommodations - both of our pads and the dog fit in the back. It's a 6' long floor, then you can add a few inches towards the front by folding up the seats. Or, sleep with the tailgate down as you look up at the stars - that adds 16".
Then we drive it up to Mammoth once a year for that boarding trip. Again, it's a rockstar on that drive too.
 
[MENTION=96036]Jasonredwood[/MENTION] - thanks! I may be regretting this decision myself. haha.

I've been getting really good response via local Craigslist ad. Fingers crossed I can find a new home with someone who cares for the truck as much as I have!
