Wow! Get this: I am age 75 now. When I was about 35 years old, I bought the very 1st 4Runner to show up at the dealer in Flagstaff, AZ. I think it was an 84(solid front axle). I think there was an 84 1/2 model also, perhaps with an auto transmission? But I think mine- the 1st- was an 84. Manual transmission. I hunted, camped and fished all over the deserts and mountains of AZ and UT in that beautiful machine. Not to forget the deep snows of Flagstaff and the mountains of AZ. I never got stuck. Nothing ever broke or even rattled or squeaked. I sure do wish I had it now.

This is 100% my dream vehicle. I've wanted one since I was a kid. Everything from the bulletproof 22re, 5 speed, removable hardtop, the interior color scheme, etc. 10k is fine, whatever. But this truck is my Holy Grail, honestly. Best believe I just bought as many entries as I could afford without skipping out on rent this month.

It's my baby! Got an '85 SA with EFI (and wicked-awesome zig-zag brown pin stripes) in 1994. With mud terrains that thing would go anywhere. Mine's all vinyl and hard plastic (which actually held up really well!). Now it's my summer cruiser. Gotta confirm: what he said in the vid about the IFS being much more comfortable - soooo true. The solid axle is beaslty. I hope whoever got this truck drives it top off and 80's tunes blaring.

That deflector is an excellent idea for hiding the dent, I got one on the freeway from a dirt hauling truck on both my blue wrx and my red talon, each time I added a Colgan brand sports bra, they invented the automotive sports bra, it is just a sleave that covers that portion of the hood, and makes the car look way sportier and they do look good on that style 4runner. Colgan started as Lockheed engineers who started making bra's for Porsches as they were owners. They are the best fitting and highest quality bra's on the market, as both times it fit like a glove that I struggled to get on.......and would try to source a original double din stereo with the graphic EQ

Looks like the back side of the rear view mirror might have an old sticker or something on it? In the camera view from the dash, looking rearward, the backside of the mirror looks jacked up, is that just the lighting or is there something on it?

@sawhtoo1648 ай бұрын
It's confusing. It said truck value 25 grand but with 10grand cash, the total value is 40 grand. It said in official rule. So i guess you'll have to use 10 grand for taxes. Not sure.
@hodsonmotors8 ай бұрын
Sorry that was a typo in the rules. The value on the entire prize is 25k. 15k for the truck and 10k for the cash.@@sawhtoo164
@hodsonmotors8 ай бұрын
taxes on the prize will vary from person to person depending on their income tax bracket. But it'll be as if you made an extra $25k for this year. The $10k is there to help with that but you should have plenty left over after paying taxes.
