  :talkingn:  I'd say you'll be lucky to get  $3.5 for it, people will really try and low ball you. Post up some pics so we've got something to go by.

Also remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Man, that POS ain't worth :pokinit:!  Give me your addy, I'll come over and dispose of it for you.   :yesnod:

Here in NC you can get a 1st gen 4runner for about $1500 in pretty good shape. I payed $1000 for my 85 4Runner, found it in my Landlady's barn

Good point wideopen, kinda like how you were tryin forever to sell your first gen, even though it was a pretty decent deal.  Despite what people think, this board doesn't seem to be the place to sell trucks for a higher price, because everybody are such deal hounds and wanna lowball everything.  I'm the same way too, if I don't feel like I'm getting a smokin deal I pass.  I'd stick it on ebay, it'll sell for a decent amount there (just don't put rock crawler in the title!), and pretty high if it's efi I bet. 
RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!
