right place, right time..

Found this t4r under a cake of dust in a family friends garage. Several bulbs were out, 140k, belts were cracked, oil leaked, antenna not working, etc..but the previous owner had put on new tires before going into slumber and had the timing belt done at 110K..zero mods and a ton of potential. Got a price I couldn't refuse and put about $1000 into parts and engine work. Recently painted the wheels in my garage and went with the black out tint. I like it simple so not much more left for me to do. I do need a rack to haul around my kayak and other gear.
Anyone with a complete rack set to sell? or can anyone point me in the the right direction towards a decent rack system reasonably priced? My first truck was a toyota PU back in high school and its been a long time comin...

Eek! Congrats on the find, though.

thanks for the link AZTOY. got a $240 quote from the local dealership for the stock rack set. Tried the local junkyards but no luck.

 

[t4r4life]

Does yours have the hole for the stock rack or is it bare?

I got those vertical strips that I think the racks screw into.

would you be interested in four (4) Yakima locking Q towers and two (2) 48" round bars for the 4Runner?

Truck looks great. Nice and clean!
Sorry to hear about the engine though. I'm sure it shouldn't take much to clean it up?
How's it drive? 4wd?

I must be getting old now that we are starting to see 4Runner barn finds! Enjoy your new rig!

Nice find! What's that plugged into the diagnostic plug?? Is that something permanent?

Aloha ampsome - Trucks runs great. Just a SR5 and not 4x4, I wish it was but just had to strike on the deal. Not much time to ramble if I could, 3month old baby at home..Hard enough finding time to surf n fish..
