Join the contest SubscribeI agree they are awesome vehicles for camping. This one has way too much time in the paint and body work to run out boonie whacking right now. My bodyman spent way too much time blocking this before paint. The panels are so straight and flat they look wet once the paint was color sanded and buffed. The 22RE is as close to bullet proof as a 4cyl gets. Once it is complete and on the road I will post some more pictures.That vehicle makes an excellent off roader. Taking it camping is what it's meant for. As long as you have confidence in the mechanicals, it should never let you down. I see the after marker front hubs. Very good choice. I hope you get it done soon. That truck needs to be on the road.
p.s. I really like Toyota 4runners.
This reminds me of my golden when she gets out of the lake and shakes off the water.
Looks pretty impressive!

BTW, I really like the 1st gen 4Runners as well. I just made an offer on 2 more this morning, but haven't heard back from owner yet.
Not a welder, but I do admire the work of a master craftsman. A select few like this raise it to an art form.
Be interesting to know the country, sure that many use it, Dominican Republic back country villagers do ....that I’ve seen. Water collection containers.....
That Redhead could be interesting to have a conversation with.
I turned out some pork shoulders last weekend that came apart like that. 24hr cold smoke with a 1 hr higher temp finish. And a good time was had by all...
I have owned a bunch of trucks with 22RE engines and never done a single head gasket. I did do head gaskets every other year on my Duramax though, even after installing studs and O-rings. As for under powered, I have been over the Rubicon trail numerous times with a 22RE truck and watched guys with V8 powered rigs spin tires, roll over and turn tail and go back. The 22RE does exactly what it was designed to do, pull a small truck around.Bulletproof?
Ask any older Toyota mechanic how many headgaskets they've done.
They're not bad, but they're underpowered and not nearly as bulletproof as the internet would have you believe. They just make so little power it's not possible to tell when they're running shitty...
Finding one in VA will be tough. When I lived in the Shenandoah Valley I went to look at a Dodge Raider, it was oddly sagging in the rear. When I looked under it both frame rails were rusted through and failed. I think that might be my next project, a Dodge Raider or 1st gen Montero 2dr.The night a buddy turned 200000 on his 84 he took it 4 wheeling. Ha came up on a Wagoner stuck to the axles in mud. Pulled it out backing up hill. He never had a problem with the motor. The body fell apart.
I'd love to find a dirt cheap 85-95 4runner 5 speed. Drive train and soft parts of the interior can be junk. Body and frame rust free. Did a complete rebuild on one and the frame disentigrated after 30000 miles. Motor was barely broken in.
Saw this alot in Palistinian controlled areas of Israel. Jewish Govt mandated solar water heaters, like the white one in the pic. Palestinians didn't trust the Jewish systems and installed their own black ones. The black tank is a sign of being in Palestinian area.

I know of a few Toyota’s that died because of frame issues with excellent drivetrains still.Never had a head gasket issue either and I put over 150k miles on mine. Gearing is the important thing with the 22RE. They are light in torque and need the RPMs to get into their REAL power band. Go up in tire size and 456 gears are not unrealistic. A gen 1 that isn't a pile of rust is a great off road vehicle. Rust is the cause of most 4runner deaths, not the 22RE.
Like me some sabaton as well. One of my favoritesSabaton is my favorite band. Love their ballads and historic themes!
It's one of those if I find a deal projects. If I go to our training academy in Norman, Ok again need to search for one and drive out instead of flying. Get paid to pick it up.Finding one in VA will be tough. When I lived in the Shenandoah Valley I went to look at a Dodge Raider, it was oddly sagging in the rear.

The official vehicle of Vantucky Washington.Getting motivated to finish this project. It's a 1986 4Runner SR5 that belongs to my son. The color is the new Army green Toyota is putting on their 2020 trucks and 4Runners. Finally time to start putting it back together. He said he wants to try to have it done this summer so he can use it for camping. I told him NFW, if you want to go camping take my Tahoe or my truck. The hard top, step bars and bumpers were done in black Rhino Liner. We have already had a bunch of people that saw it in the shop try to buy it.

I love the way they did this one, guaranteed to make some Communist's heads overload:

I’m curious what a 25 year old Tacoma looks like after being in the New Mexico sunHere in the high desert of sw New Mexico there are tons of rust free gen 1 Tacomas, Tundras, T100s running around town. Im tempted to pick one up.
