Good deal, love that color too. If its been maintained 200k isn't nothing. I hope you did a real good inspection of the frame from front to back using a small hammer or screwdriver. 1st thing i would do is the "pink milkshake" prevention. I still haven't touched that 4runner that i recently bought, plan to mess with it this week. I payed $700 for my non-running 2000 5sp. 4x4 with 248k miles but the only reason i payed that much is because the tires are brand new, they were just installed 2 weeks before i bought it.

 

Ask Tico @TicoTRD

He is the only one i've ever known to have a lineX'd bed

 

How did that happen?

 

Blunt force trauma

 

I got a bedrug hopefully that will help, I'm loading steel targets all the time.

 

Didnt matter. the farm owners tried to run their Subaru around the course, buried it up to the door sills, then buried the tundra they used to rescue it up to the axles, then had to break out the giant farm tractor to get them both unstuck. so lolnope

 

тнanĸ yoυ тoм . I do appreciate that

 

It needs a little love but I hope I did okay on it. Timing belt and new denso radiator where done 25k miles ago as well as a new Cat. It needs boots on the stearing rack, both are torn.

Is there anyway we could pull the Tirods and replace the stearing boots at your shop? I would pay obviously, just don't think I could do it in my driveway. I just wanna get it through inspection ASAP.

Also has Check Engine light on witch causes the VSC OFF and TRAC OFF lights to come on to, I found a vaccume leak on the Intake boot, ordered a new one, hoping that could be causing it. Online says Evap related.

 

Solution:

 

Steel sliding around and the corners slamming into the bed here and there. Didn't take much, I probably could've down it with a flat blade shovel scooping stone or dirt out.

 

Probably be a bit heavy to make a deck reinforcement like the tailegater.

 

Yeah. I thought about wrapping the entire inside in heavy aluminum but instead came across a killer deal on a trailer so I did that. Made more sense anyways. Bigger trailer than the bed and could pull a lot more weight than I could haul in the bed.

 

@Mobtown Offroad Mob is it possible to make a front recovery bar for a T4R?

 

It will be a huge challenge. There is nothing on the front of our 4Runners Tom old solidly.

 

Dang it

 

Made a thread for the 4Runner:

When you finally go through those mud bogs, be sure you don't do this to someone afterwards:

 

Lucked into a John Deere z255 today. Only 33 hours on the thing, basically brand new. Guy was asking $2000 for it I got it for $1500.

 

Good pickup on that tractor. it looks clean from the picture.

 

Real clean looks like it's been barely used. I'll take 50% off of new any day.
