NEW PRICE AND PHOTOS, SEE POST #11
I seem to suffer from the same illness that affects many on this forum: the desire/need to switch vehicles until I find the one that best fits the needs of myself and my family.
For sale: 1988 Toyota 4runner $5,000 or reasonable offer. Located in Clearfield.
Clean title in hand
The rig is currently street legal, safety and emissions completed 4/15. Will hold 70-75 on Freeway.
130,xxx on the odometer (will get actual mileage)
22RE with Engbuilder crawler cam
5 speed manual with a Marlin Crawler Heavy Duty Clutch Kit
Dual t-cases with 4.7's in the rear (223:1 final crawl ratio)
Trail Gear Dual Transfer case HD Skid Plate/x-member
Trail Gear rock sliders
Front:
Solid Axle Swap with '85 front axle with RUF (Toyota rear springs up front). Front diff armor, axle truss, Marlin Crawler Highsteer x-over steering. IFS brake calipers and FJ80 vented rotors. V6 double diaphragm brake booster and 15/16 master cylinder. Toyota E-Locker 3rd with 5.29 gears. Trail Gear 27-spline chromoly birfs. Trail Gear 10in. long travel driveline. Steering box moved forward about 2" using Marlin Crawler relocation kit.
Rear:
Upgraded V6 3rd with Yukon 5.29's and Detroit Locker. Chevy 63's.
Tires:
35x12.5x15 Goodyear MTRs w/ Kevlar on black 15x8 simlock wheels, 1/2-3/4 tread remaining.
Other:
Ramsey 9000lb winch with 150ft of Masterpull 3/8 synthetic rope (rated at 21k breaking strength)
Front power seats out of a Mercury Mountaineer
Pioneer deck
SR5 instrument cluster and inclinometer gauges
Rock lights front and rear
Custom front and rear bumpers
Flat-tow bar and hitch
Box of misc. spare parts included.
Current issues, Please Read Carefully: The throwout/clutch release bearing is bad. It drives/shifts just fine when you get going, but it's difficult starting from a stop. I'm planning on replacing it here in the next week or two (willing to talk if someone buys before I get it replaced). The engine burns a bit of oil. I've never had any issues with low oil levels and it only seems to burn when you really get on the throttle. Front tires rub on leaf springs when turning sharply, wheels with different backspacing, width, or larger wheel adapters will fix this (no rubbing when I had 37s and 15x10 wheels on it). Tires could use a balancing, there's a good vibration from 40-50 mph, but it goes away at highway speeds. Driver's seat wobbles a bit, possibly a loose bolt on the seat frame, I haven't looked at it that closely yet. The body and interior are far from perfect as this is a wheeling rig as the above listed parts describe. It has been well used and it shows. New Details Added Below.
