This is a one of a kind rock-crawler. Built on a 1985 4runner, this SUV has a smog-legal (refereed) Ford Mustang engine and transmission. This truck has seen its share of dirt, rocks, mud, sand, and what ever else I could throw at it. It ran a 15.9 sec 1/4 mile at LACR, get 15-17MPG hwy and I was commuting this truck 100 miles a day until I crushed my foot and broke many bones and now driving manual transmission is a pain. So I'm reluctantly selling it. This truck has about $20,000 worth of parts installed on it with folders of receipts to prove it. This truck is not for everyone; it is for someone who wants a street legal toy who knows how to maintain a vehicle.
