Topic: White 1985 Toyota 4Runner stolen Fresno/Clovis, CA

[JFW]

Hey everybody,

My white 1985 Toyota 4Runner was stolen last night, right out of my driveway. It's white with white bumpers front and back. Crappy tube bumper on the back. Arizona veteran license plate 390R2. It WAS located in the Temperance and Dakota area. Please spread the word and let me or the police know if you see or have seen it. Thank you so much.

Hey BigMike,

Sorry I haven't updated the post. Things have been hectic with this, school, and an almost due pregnant wife. I got mine back last Saturday. Someone called it in and CHP called me.  It was about 2-3 miles away, at Highland and Clinton.  They took the radio, cb, speakers, shifter knob, and anything that wasn't bolted down. Covered it in some kind of mineral oil crap to hide finger prints. They did something to the ignition cylinder as well that damaged it.  But, at least we got it back. Now we're looking to sell it. lol Yeah, it's been ridiculous over the last couple of weeks. I saw two others on Facebook that have been stolen since mine. Put alarms/kill switches on your trucks people!

Thank you for the update.

James, we have a question trying to identify the thieves behind this recent run of stolen 4Runners. Does your 4Runner have a spare tire mounted to your back tailgate or to a tire swing-out carrier?

Thanks

Mike,

No, it doesn't. I'd love to help in any way I can. If you have more questions, feel free to pm me and I'll shoot you my number.

Ok thank you. A friend who recovered his 4Runner a day before yours saw a white 4Runner being driving by a friend of the person who was in possession of his stolen 4Runner. So we are looking for a white 4Runner, believed to have 36" tires, with a rear bumper spare tire carrier.

Ok, eyes peeled!

Hey Mike,

Are there any shops you'd recommend for getting a kill switch installed? How much should it run me? Thanks!
