Yes ..Rainier is all out football over any other sport,,I played when I was in HS there too..long time ago..
..
Whats your thoughts on what truck you like the best for building what you did ,,straight axle or the one in the 88.? I know the ones I had were very popular ,,but not much room in them and the 88 has a bit more..

the 82 I bought new is on the right in this photo and the 83 on the left ,,AC in it and I just had to have it ..but like most of my trucks I sold them.

Very nice pickups you had, years ago I had an 82 and loved it. the older ones are to nice to build in to wheelers.
If, we had to do it again we would build a second or third gen. extend a cab

Re: building my boys yota

Those trucks will run forever. I'd love to get my hands on a 1st gen 4Runner some day.

Have you seen this video?

Re: building my boys yota

Sweet little truck, and that green is a sharp colour!

I have a soft spot for the older Toyotas, had a pickup a while ago and currently have a 1988 4Runner.

Fun vehicles and catch lots of attention even when they aren't trying to be flashy!

Re: building my boys yota

Very nice!
I have always been a fan of the Toyota 4x4 pick ups.
Ran around in a nice '83 for many years, then I got a '87 4runner, then a '96, then a '02 which I still have.

They just run an run.

My '02 I have had since new, and is a TRD, v6, 5spd, 4x4, extra cab.
The only thing I have done to it is put in a King suspension with extended UCA's. Plus a taller tire. Haven't had to do anything with it, other than change the oil and replace a battery.

Re: building my boys yota

Absolutely love those older toyota trucks. Too bad I never owned one as I could never really fit in the driver's seat due to my tall height. I did get to use one regularly and enjoyed it because it had the "extra cab" feature where there was probably 8" added to the length of the cab.
