Im looking at this truck i found, this is the description:

i have a 91 toyo pickup has bout 185xxx v6.. i ve done tune, oil change every 3000 mile with synthic oil, new fuel pump n sending unit toyota part, new toyota harmonic balancer, most all new toyota brake n fuel line, new shock all 4, front pads,rotors, and calipers with wheel bearings also bearings in hub assy. done this yr, front cv axles n center drive shaft bearing, exhaust system from cat included back with 2.5 pipeing custom from lou's.. sounds gd..all four new 31' bfgoodrich tko.. truck has been taking care of mechanic wise for the 2yrs i owned it.. i have all papers for the part ive replaced... never had any prob with her and pass emission no prob.. need some body work but tipical for toyota trucks.. asking $2000 need to sell quick so hit me up will consider offers.. thank you..

Im wondering if there is anything i should know about this specific model/year. Its automatic and he says the engine ticks a little bit but that it doesnt knock...

Also, how good of a platform is this for mild to moderate wheeling?

Make sure the engine tic is not an exhaust leak. THey can sound very similar. That engine although reliable had a head gasket recall. Make sure that was taken care of by the previous owner. There was also a rely rod recall in the steering system. Check on that as well.

My wife has a 91 4 runner and it has been a good vehicle for us. That motor doesn't want to show any power up here in the mountains till you get it over 3000 rpms. We live at 7000 feet and work at 9-10,000 feet. If you are at a lower altitude it is probably better.

Any toyota seems to be a good platform for wheeling. If you are going to get more hardcore you will want to take out the independant suspension up front and swap in a solid axle. Check out the toyota pages here on pirate. The sky is the limit really. The price seems fair. Start at 1,500.00 I know of a 91 out here with a perfect body for 3000.

Sounds like it has been well maintained. As long as the motor runs good, Id be all over it.

thanks for the info on the recalls, hopefully ill grab this thing. How tough is the IFS? ive heard its good to 35s. I dont think ill be going past a 33" but who knows.

Ifs is great for mild wheeling as long as you dont mind alot of 3 wheeling. i ran 35s for a long time b4 i did my sas! did me well.. but overall if you ever get more serious. i wont hold up for the serious stuff

I couldn't get my IFS to last on 33s. I changed 3 CVs in less than two weeks. Did I mention the grenaded spiders too? I was NOT even close to beating on it either. It now has a SAS with 30 spline Longs.:flipoff2:

What kind of mileage can i expect out of the v6? Im guessing its a 3.0...? How much better would it be with a manual trans?
