Can I have your opinion on this??

Looking to buy a toy (1993 v6 4x4 4runner with a 5 speed transmission) for a price of $1,600 from some guy. Has couple issues from what I saw and felt when I test drove it. Few of those things are 2 oil leaks that he pointed. Here's a few things, might sound like a lot but it's quick fixing kinda things I think.

•oil pan leak
•crank seal oil leak
•breaks (make weird nose like it's missing power steering oil)


In the pictures attached you can barely see the oil but it's all over the engine since the oil leaks ends up dripping on to the fan causing it to splatter all over the engine bay. It had no rust and runs kinda good. So tell me what y'all think.

 

If you are buying a toy, I am assuming you have the means and knowledge to work on it yourself. For 1600 I would think it would be worth it for just the chassis. Is the frame straight? It looks in the last picture the rear coils are angled in. If you are willing to put money into it, I would say go for it. I would offer 1200 and expect a motor swap, or spend about the ssme chasing issues. I would also expect to put at least 10k into it to make it nice but thats just me I'm fancy.

 

Looks relatively clean for what it is. How many original miles?

I'm with Kevin on this. If you're up the the challenge (time and $) it could be a great trail rig.

I always liked that body 4r

 

I'm in downtown Tokyo and just walked passed a local wearing a Fort Worth Texas shirt

 

Eliminator? Got any vids with a bad ass rooster tail?

 

Sick invite!

 

did you give him a "Yee Haw!"??

 

Ran into the jambo guys on their way out to Gilmer this morning. He ran over to my truck with his jambo card and I told him I was already registered. We BS'd for a bit. Tried to slip in a Wednesday access convo but he didnt bite so I left it alone. Super nice guy as always!!

 

Lol you and everyone else.

 

A few people are allowed access to help setup.

 

Last minute prep work before Jambo.





This is okay, yes?

 

Did you find some new leafs?

 

Did a little bourbon pick today.

 

Yeppers, 19.5' Formula. Couldn't find one out here, so I had to go home and buy that one. First time it's been on the water since March of last year, after a complete pump replacement. No videos yet, I was solo on the water and it was a little windy. Hoping to get back out this weekend again.

 

Seems like a lot of work, when you could just go to Goody Goody.

 

That is totes fine.

I have a few minor things to finish out... like I should prob get my mid skid put back on which I will do today after work, hopefully it will go back on even if it has a nice bow in it...

Other than that, everything else is pretty minor.

I did get my rear Baja S2 light wired up, so now I have a rear Go F yourself light on the truck.

Trailer is also ready besides a got a free toolbox I want to try and get mounted on there, but need to clean it up first.

Freefolk memes on point as usual this morning.

 

I'm not going to Jambo. Too mainstream.

 

hey i was doing almost that same thing this weekend, put 5100's all around 885's up front and Dakar's in back
