1990 Toyota 4WD Pickup, Up for sale is one of our shop project vehicles, it is very unique and one of a kind. This truck is not a Craig’s list truck, it is already fixed up. It rivals a brand new truck it has been fixed up so much. The older Straight Axle and Early IFS trucks were built much stronger then the newer vehicles. The new vehicles have much better engines, but the frames/durability is not even close. This truck is in outstanding condition, it has been restored to the point that we even replaced not only the sun visors ,but the paper warning labels in the pockets of the sun visors as well. The vehicle has been completely re-painted. It has no body damage. This truck has no lift, it is stock height, but everything hanging down under it has been raised 2-3”, Clever Aye! We are offering this truck up for sale because the shop bought a 2012 Trail 4Runner as the next project vehicle. 1990 Toyota Expedition Pickup $9500.

Buzz along on the highway at 75-80 and then run it over the Golden Crack. This truck drives the highway very easily, you are not tired after driving it long distances, like a truck with a big lift and big tires.

Front and rear selectable lockers and a 4.7 crawl gear in the t-case.

Holy smoke,

This truck was right behind me on the Hopping Jalapeno trail during the Chile Challenge in Feb 2012, along with two other well prepared Toyotas.

I was just in front of you guys with my JK and took a whole sequence of shots of all of you on the trail!

Good memories of this truck. I can attest to how clean this truck is as I saw it just after Steve got it. I've also seen it tackle trails while on 31" tires in a group of trucks with nothing less than 35"s. Love it!

Also, I can vouch for the builders quality of work for those that don't know the seller.

GLWS Steve!

Thanks guys, we had a GREAT TIME at the Chilli Challenge and we will be back in 2013! I will bring a 4Runner like the 2000 Silver on pictured above.

I've been on the trail many times with this truck that is now for sale. Sad to see it go, as I was the old original Sonoran Steel 4runner. Like all of the vehicles Steve has built, this is well engineered and very functional plus it is well cared for and clean. Hope it finds a good home.
