1987 Toyota 4Runner Surf Hilux 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 Additional Info:
You are bidding on a true survivor. This truck was bought new in Forrest Park Georgia in 1987, and it has lived in Georgia its entire life. Truck is solid and rust free except for some surface rust around windshield, and little at dent around driver brake light. all cosmetic. Runs Great, everything functions as it should. Top has never been removed (previous owner said, and from condition, I am inclined to agree) I have owned for almost 3 years and have mechanically addressed anything that has came up, it has been my daily driver, we just bought an FJ Cruiser and this has become redundant. Have driven it on several 1000+ mile trips with no issues. It will get you anywhere you need to go safely. I would drive this anywhere, anytime.
BODY:
I replaced rear tail lights with new ones, it has a Smitty Built bumpers in good nick.also has side bars. Alloy wheels on all 4 corners with Yoko 35x12.5x15" tires. Truck has body lift, as well as suspension lift. these were done many years ago, and everything is tight and as it should be. Suspension is tight and handles as well as a new truck.
INTERIOR:
carpet is faded, Drivers seat has tear on bottom bolster from sliding in and out. one crack on dash. Kenwood head unit. Cruise works, everything works.
ENGINE:
When I purchased I removed head and had it redone @ machine shop. Purchased factory regrind gasket set. Water pump, Oil pump, Timing Chain, new Wires, Plugs, Distributor Cap n Rotor, PCV valve, hoses to vent, O2 sensor. Everything was replaced with either Toyota Branded parts, or Japanese made OEM Parts. Nothing Chinese has ever been put on this truck on my watch. Nothing... Headman header, NGK wires and plugs, k&N filter.
DRIVE TRAIN:
All gear oil was replaced, transmission shifts like new, no slop in shifter. Manual hubs work flawlessly, 4wd works flawlessly. There are no leaks under this truck everything is tight. No busted boots, no surprises. 4.10 gears front and rear.
ME:
You are getting an adult loved, owned, maintained piece of Toyota history.
Will also assist anyway I can to get it shipped be it in country or out. Anything I can do. I'll even drive it to you for the cost of fuel and bus ticket home. I have owned many 4wd Toyota's, and this is the nicest older one I have ever owned.

This example was shipped from Japan with no back seat, had something to do with tariffs, like trucks being shipped without beds, then the beds being built in California. The backseat, rear seat belts, and custom stickers were all installed at the port for a specific customer or dealership. I have only seen one other 4runner with my color scheme, and decals. it had old cyclone alloys on it, and ironically that's the spare I have under this truck. Toyota still port installs options for their dealerships or customers. SR5's were heavily loaded with options for one lump sum, the DLX could be built `a la carte with almost everything the SR5 had.
