Hey all,

I just recently bought an 87 4runner sr5 and spent about a week and a half nonstop trying to get it ready to make a trip out to Colorado (from Pennsylvania) cause I'm doing an exchange semester out there. Turns out after completely redoing the brakes and the shocks as well as general mainenance it still needed the clutch replaced. Now I could have it shipped out here and Ill replace it out here. But I'm not sure its worth the 600$ to ship it.

Is a truck with the following specs worth it?

'87 Toyota 4Runner sr5 4x4
5spd transmission
Black
22-RE
~135k miles
4x4 (high and low)


Brand New Parts:

-tires (brand new Dayton AT)
-Shocks (all around-Monroe Sensa-trac)
-Brake Pads (front and rear)

-Rear Brake Wheel Cylinders
-O2 sensor
-Fresh oil change and filter
-New Relays in Power Window Module
-New DieHard Gold battery
-Many interior and exterior trim fasteners, etc
(Receipts for all parts)

 :welcome: Awesome red interior, as long as it is only a clutch left to do I'd ship it.

I'd really like to...we'll see if shipping it will work or if I'd have to fly back and drive it out.

Anyone used any of the car shipping companies? Any suggestions?

Put a new clutch in it and road trip!  It'll cost ya the same either way, gas, food, lodging, and ? vs. shipped.
