I have been playing around on the site for a few days and have gotten some help from some good people. I am building a 85 4Runner and also have a 85 extra cab toy that I am putting back together. As soon as I can get the runner done I will be looking for some people to do some wheeling with.

Hey I live just south of you off the 15. Well its like 813 miles south. Thanks for the point. I got a picture of the runner up. I am a bit further along now but still not crawlin.

crawlerdad · May 20, 2009, 10:35:20 PM

I gave you the point back just to see how it worked. Is there a way to find out who gives or takes your points. I would bet that there is some turd out there snagging points just to look like he is cool.

Tallchevy · May 21, 2009, 12:21:06 AM

Points don't really mean anything. Your not going to get a free hat or something if you reach a certain count. When someone take a point it doesn't go to their points, it just comes off, same as if you give one.

Welcome

I thought that I saw the pickup on CL as well. Did you buy it, or change your mind about selling it?

crawlerdad · May 22, 2009, 09:16:47 AM

I got the truck when I was 17. Ran it for a few years then started an All-Pro extreme lift. I had kids and put it off. Kids don't fit in a truck so I found a 4Runner. I am now building the Runner and selling the truck. I crushed a front spring hanger on a rock so I am building new hangers for the truck out of 1/4" plate. I know the truck is listed high but if you know someone who is interested let me know and I am ready to make a deal.

crawlerdad · May 22, 2009, 09:45:12 AM

Crappy pic but it shows the body is strait.

crawlerdad · May 22, 2009, 09:46:10 AM

Here is the Runner when I found it.

fillupondeez · June 25, 2009, 11:07:15 AM

nice runner, my parents were the original owners of my 87, we sold it to a friend when i got my full size truck and i regretted it , they drove the crap out of it and blew the head gasket and asked if i wanted it back for $300.... it was in very good shape cosmetically, and after rebuilding the motor and changing all the fluids in the drive train its know my daily driver soon to be family crawler...

What does that mean? It makes me feel a little creepy, or maybe I finally became somebody.I know the truck but not sure who you are. If you work at all pro tell Jack to come get my other truck before I call Pick a Part to pick it up and scrap it. Its back on the ground and rollin so he can actually take it for a test drive.

iNfErNaL · June 25, 2009, 04:35:53 PM

Okay I take it back . I DON'T know who you are

, I just know that's the truck Jack was showing me pics of . . . Not into playing the whole messanger boy roll , if you have his number you give him a call tell him yourself .
