You can have it... I was STILL lookin' at it a four weeks ago at work. It should FINALLY be "open water" with only some chunks floatin' by when I get there Tuesday. BTW??? Does this beast qualify as a huntin' rig?
Frank...That can lead to short relationships...My significant other decided either She, or the hardware I reserved the front passenger seat would have to go!
I really don't miss her that much, but often do think about her on those cold winter nights..
1986 Toyota 4x4, 372800 miles on the original motor, 5spd, cooper all-terrains, 22mpg@60mph. And the a/c works!!!
One of my buddies I do a ton of side work for had bought this truck new, put 250000 on it then gave it to his son. One day the son called me and asked me to do some work for him. He ended up stiffing me for the parts and labor I put into his other truck. Well I have access to a tow truck so I filed a lien on the vehicle I worked on ( $260k semi-truck) and repo'd that bad boy. When my buddy found out all that was going on he called me up and we worked out a deal. He still held the title to this truck and had some other gear to toss in that I ended up selling to cover the cost of parts. All said and done, I got this truck for $400 worth of labor and 7hrs in DMV.
I have tuned up the truck twice in the time I have had it, LOF too many times to count, and replaced the cat and O2 sensor. Its due for an over haul, but still very drivable, and one hell of a goat. This thing sticks to the hills way better than the willies jeep I have in the barn and fits in more places than my dodge 2500 ever could dream of!

Those toyotas just don't quit!
I have had a few of them now, defiantly some of the toughest trucks I have ever owned. Though my 1941 Ford Willies Jeep did serve in ww2, survived a central Oregon ranch, and still runs , so I think it gets top spot. I don't drive it very often any more though, parts are getting harder to find and things seem to be breaking easier. I'll post a pic up next time I pull the tarp off.
