Car description

Engine:
22RE motor that made Toyota name synonymous with reliability. (Always in the lists of top 10 combustion motors) Odometer reads 109k because a previous owner swapped the old instrument cluster with one that has a tachometer.
VIN records put it at ~160K (Engine has been recently rebuilt with performance part less than 30k miles ago according to previous owner. I did not get documentation when I purchased but block paint and freeze plugs still shine with good compression 138+) and based on the power it I have no reason to believe otherwise. No smoke, no knocks, no issues. The head has been more recently rebuilt with new lifters and RV cam the machines stamped his name on it... alot of care when into to this motor. I was going to open it up to see what was done but it's just too fun to drive. It has K&N mass air flow intake, Electric Fan, LC Engineering header with 2.5"exhaust all the way back (sounds awesome)
NEW Fuel tank, (complete fuel system overhaul, lines have been flushed from tank to injectors)
Recently replaced, belts, plugs, filters, battery, distributor
Drivetrain:
NEW heavy duty clutch. The front differential has new seals and CV boots. Fresh lubricants all around with magnetic drain plugs.
Suspension
3" lift by Trailmaster lift with NEW sway bar Bushings
33" Tires with 50% tread remaining (Comes with full-size spare)
NEW Pro Comp shocks all the way around.
Chasis and Body:
Longtime Texas (El Paso) truck solid undercarriage freshly undercoated and painted absolutely minimal surface rust. (I have before photos so you know what you are getting)
First Generation DLX model (Has the convertible roof)
Dark charcoal gray exterior and light gray interior cloth. (power windows)Has a tow hitchBody has a surplus of off-road dings and dents...nothing major...this truck deserves a paint job and prepping will require minor body work. Considering the climbing value of these 1st Gen 4Runners it's worth the investment.
The bad:
If you can do body work and have an upholstery guy or gal you will make money on this truck...considering the market you will still do very well if you dial in the cosmetics. It's 30 year old truck there are some parts missing: roll bar, window trim, arm rest pad, rear wiper parts. The headliners are damaged and some of the trim pieces are cracked, along with passenger front seat tear in fabric. There are two rust spots size of an egg on the body that have been addressed.
The price is firm and fair at $7000.00. I'll consider trades but require at least 1/2 of my asking price in cash. (Trade items of interest: project classic vehicles, vintage lightweight travel trailer or Class B RV, diesel engines, pre-1975 trucks, rare motorcycles, artwork, tools)
Reasonable offers will be accepted. I prefer texts if you want to set up a time to see it or leave a message and I'll call you back if you want to discuss. Vehicle is located in Lubbock Texas however I am headed to CA in a week and could possibly deliver in that direction. This truck is locally advertised locally on craigs list and can end at anytime.
