I've looked at 88 4runner up the northeast: (Want opinions on what to pay, or even to buy)
The Good:
- Asking 900.00
- its got the 22re.
- well taken care of, new head, gasket, timing chain, calipers, rotors, etc
- clean interior
- runs, shifts, 4L, 4H, is all good
- Its got a fair share of rust on the frame, but its decently solid, no holes, cracks, etc. Much better than most around New England.
The Bad:
- Its lived a hard life,
- definitely been monkeyed with, 4" rear block lift, ball-joint spacers.
- Its got a fair share of rust on the frame, but its decently solid, no holes, cracks, etc. Much better than most around New England.
- rockers are gone, non-existent
- body is mostly gone
- Suspension feels loose and old, slightly scary, no surprise
-
If I pick it up I'd think I'd weld in some tube rockers, and just sheet metal in patches for the fenders, make sort of budget overland local rig. Then flip in a few years.
I'm on a low budget, grad student.
Thoughts? Things to steer clear of?
