Up for sale is a rare second generation 2 door 4Runner. As you can see from the pictures and videos the truck is in excellent condition and the engine runs very very well as an almost brand new engine should.These trucks are definitively getting harder and harder to find in this rust free condition! Originally this was a V6 model with a 5 speed manual trans. The truck was re-painted in the original gold color by Freds Autobody in Melbourne, Fl. The paint job is flawless with no rust whatsoever on the whole body and anti chip paint in the lower part of the panels. At the same time the fender flares were added. The engine was converted to a brand new Ford 5.0/302 purchased from Ford racing. The engine is the basic Mustang engine without aluminum heads making about 240 hp. It has billet serpentine belt system with AC, new carb, and headers. I also had a custom aluminum radiator made by Ron Davis which is installed using the stock location and mounting points. Transmission is a Ford AOD also purchased new with all the high performance parts to take 450 hp, I did this as extra insurance to take the large tires which are 33x12.5 BF Goodrich All Terrains on Alcoa classic II wheels. The tires still have the hairs on them so very very little mileage. Suspension has been lifted 4 inches with a Superlift system, and 2 inches with a body lift to clear the transmission and not cut the tunnel.. The trans has a Lokar shifter, which can easily be changed for a shorter shifter handle if you prefer (although I dont include the shorter handle in the sale). The transfer case is also heavy duty, an Atlas II all billet case with dual shift levers. The entire drive train has less than 3000 miles on it. The interior of the truck has a Kenwood 7 inch screen/stereo with sat nav capability. It does not have the sat nav module however. The interior is in perfect condition with no tears or rips and no dashboard cracks! The exterior has large Hella lights on and ARB bumper. The rear has an All Pro Off Road bumper. Spare tire is on the original Toyota swing out mount. As for the bad, the AC gas will most likely need to be refilled. The heater hoses were not reconnected when the engine was swapped, honestly not much use in Fl. The two issues I noticed while driving are that the water pump leaks a little where the gasket is which is a very simple repair, and the trans doesnt shift on a light throttle which means the shift points have to be adjusted. The power steering pump also needs to be installed in a more permanent way as it is temporary now (but 100% functional). Lastly there is a spare wheel but it is the original Toyota wheel which will not work with the large 33 inch tires. The only reason the truck is for sale is because I currently live outside of the US. I would naturally have fixed the issues it has before putting up for sale but I was only in the states for 5 days on my last trip and simply did not have the time. Right now the truck is in a covered garage in my building. The title is free and clear and ready to hand over. The auction has no reserve but the Atlas II transfer case on its own is $2400 new! This is barely $600 less than the starting price so right there you almost get the entire truck for free! Add on the V8 engine and automatic trans with barely break in miles on them and this whole package can be a steal! Just watch the videos and see that this truck looks and sounds great! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqPPWYmfiw8#t=14 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yx8R5BuSIxA
