Message me to exchange phone numbers and get more information on this well built and cared for truck.

This truck drives like an off road sports car when on dirt. It will go anywhere and the limited slip front differential makes driving on pavement a breeze. I originally built this truck for as a daily driver that could handle the dirt road commute from our mountain top home in snow country (N. Idaho - no salt) to town. It handles deep snow with ease. It also has no problem driving in other extreme conditions such as mud, sand and ice. This rig also is great for camping and any kind of off / on road adventure. The suspension and tires smooth out the roughest of roads and allow for travel at a higher speed. This Toy turns heads everywhere it goes. I am always told that it would make an really nice hunting rig. This truck has never been rock crawled or abused.

The motor was put in 2009/10. It went in after the original 3.0 V6 gave out (common). After weighing all of my options I decided the 4.3l was the only way to go. The motor came from a 1992 Chevy S10 donor. It is a "W" motor which is the higher horsepower version. The block casting # is 10105867, the head casting # is 14094768. The motor has been fully rebuilt using highest quality parts and labor. It has a stock cam (as specified by GM) is balanced and has never been overheated. The motor and conversion work were done by a respected mechanic and have only 41,000 miles since project completed early 2010. The conversion work included many parts from Advance Adapters including Bell Housing Adapter, slave cylinder, pressure plate, clutch disc, release bearing (comes w/ an extra for backup), flywheel, engine mounts, 4 core alum. radiator and an electric fan and hi pressure cap and more. We installed a brand new Painless wiring harness which has worked flawlessly and includes a diagnostic link connector which is in the glove box. The motor was carefully broken in by myself. Since then I have upgraded and replaced various parts including the distributor, cap and rotor, installed a hi amp alternator, a new A/C motor (needs to be hooked up), water pump, fuel pump, oxygen sensor and a brand new mini starter and fuel filters. The oil has always been changed every 3k using quality oil and filters. I have always filled the tank with premium gas from Chevron or Shell whenever possible.

The tires only have 11,000 miles on them and can be run from +/- 5 psi up to 30 +/- psi. At low psi snow and sand traction is unbeatable. The tires have been rotated at or before every 5k miles for even wear. They were purchased from Begg's tire and warranty is transferred to new owner. Truck was aligned after tire install. The aluminum rims are much lighter than steel and do not rust. The differential work was performed by JT's Differentials and all parts were bought thru them. The lift was done by a pro shop in southern Ca. The land cruiser rear springs allow for heavier payload to be carried with less "stinkbug" sag which lifted 4runners can be known for. The yota 5 speed transmission is bulletproof. With the 5.29 gear this truck has ample low range power for even the biggest tasks while cruising down the freeway at 70 mph is no problem.

The body of this truck is in good shape. It was in a fender bender before I purchased it but previous owners repaired. The paint does have some sun fading and a little bit of surface rust on the hood (I was planning to upgrade hood and fenders with fiberglass replacements but never got around to it). The fender flares that are on it do have some cracks and blemishes from 4 wheeling but could easily be bondo repaired and painted flat black to look new again. The interior is clean with no rips or tears. It could use a new windshield sooner than later and the passenger side window needs a new electric motor. It has the sun/moon roof which is nice and sporty.

This 4runner comes with many extra goodies not shown here. I have the following items and more that come with the rig: Hi Lift Jack, Tire spoon, Shovel, Extra battery kit w/ switch, Carpeted sleeping platform with drawers and storage, Baja offroad lights, Oil pan / Radiator guard (brushed aluminum), Chilton S10 and 4runner manuals, Original 1990 owners manual, Painless wiring diagram, Thule racks with bike tray and Da Kine rack pads, Kenwood cassette stereo and 6x 9 boxes + more spare parts.

This vehicle was originally sent to the dealers lot in Missouri 1989. After that it life in the arid inland area east of Los Angeles. I then had it in use in Northern Idaho. It has been back and forth from ID to central Oregon over the last few years. I love this truck and am only selling it because we are no longer living in snow country and need the funds to help start a new business. I would not hesitate to jump in this and drive across the state today if needed. It has always been reliable and super fun to own and drive.I have put a lot of time and money into this vehicle and would like to pass it on to a good home. I think the price I am asking is fair considering the parts, labor and condition of this solid 4x.

I may be able to personally deliver this truck to Washington, Idaho, Nevada or California if full asking price is met plus gas and return trip expense. I am flexible and easy to meet up with locally in Oregon for a test drive / viewing. If you are looking for a solidly built 4x4 that has never been abused and are a qualified buyer please get in contact with me. And for additional videos and photos of this Chevota just ask.
