posted here before and a few leads fell through, but I figured I'd post it one more time before taking a crack at ebay.

here's the truck specs:

body:
completely redone, not a spot of rust on it, no trail damage, the rear quarters are fiberglass, the tailgate is good and solid. I just had the whole truck painted blue-grey last fall. the paint is really good, but there are two quarter sized flaws in the paint, one is a drip, the other is a fisheye spot and a couple nicks aroud the cowl. the grille and mirrors are new. I was even able to track down a NOS TOYOTA grille emblem for the grille.

armor:
front bumper is an ARB with a fresh Ramsey REP8000 in it. the winch has a built-in control panel on the dash, which is pretty nice. the rear bumper is a Stout Industries tire carrier combo. holds a spare, hi-lift, and a jerry can.

interior:
all mint condition grey SR-5. the front seats are covered in grey leather, I was planning on redoing the rear seats to match. but haven't done so yet. the headliner has a small tear near the map lights, maybe 1" long. carpet is new, and the center console, shifter boot, and shift knobs are new. steering wheel is a factory leather wrapped wheel. manual windows.

suspension:
this is an 84, so it's a solid front axle from the factory. all the steering linkage was replaced with new toyota stuff. it even has the front roll bar on it. very mild lift, maybe 2" total, just to clear the new 32" BFG M/T's on mickey thompson alloys. the axles are geared 4.88.

engine:
fresh built 1987 22rte turbo. maybe 1000 miles on this motor. all the factory defects in the rte design have been addressed, including a 3" exhast system, a .60 trim T-3 turbo, a proper blow-off valve, and an intercooler. you'll notice that the later pics show a black hood with a scoop for the intercooler. I still have the original un-cut blue hood.

everything works. I JUST spent a larger-than-small fortune redoing the A/C system with a new condenser, compressor, valve, drier, and new orings and lines.

only things left to do are to charge the AC system and I have to recalibrate the pot on the back fo the tach so it reads right. I'll do both before the time of sale.

I'd like to get $7500 for the truck, which is about half of what's in it.

they longblock is not a toyota rebuilt, they wouldn't have used the cometic turbo headgasket and ARP head studs. I built the motor myself (third motor rebuild for me, second r series motor rebuild)
