Today's Craigslist Highlights...Pt 2

[MDH33]

I have been talking to this guy about that rig. What do you think...seems like a decent deal?

If it runs well, and is as stock as it looks, yes. Late model 40's have a lot of good upgrades.

Their downfall is poor sheetmetal. Some rust and holes would be expected, but make sure it's not totally rotten.

It looks like it has the typical rust on the back of the tub. I would want to see the floors and rear wheel wells too.


Edit:

Just saw your cross post on MUD with the additional pics. More rust that I thought. I think you can find something worth wrenching on with less rust if you're patient.

IFS Parts - $20

Pretty much of a steal, hub-to-hub front end from probably an SAS. Heck, a pair of Aisin IFS hubs alone are worth more than $20. If someone needs this stuff, I could use some of the parts, too.

Is this a good deal?

Kim really liked Neil's 4Runner at the picnic. I've been telling her that a runner would be a good rig for her. She likes the removeable top of the first gen.

Not really screaming, $4000 for a clean but mostly stock IFS 4Runner seems sorta steep.

1986 for $2K

1987 for $2K

If you were open to a 2nd gen (no removable top), you can get a pretty nice truck for $2K.

I called the guy.

I called the guy.

If he still has the junk, what I really need is the front cross member that the front diff hangs on. The part that has 4 bolts at the front control arm hanger. There are two captured nuts that the front skid plate hangs on at the bottom, mine have been broken for a while and I have been putting long bolts through with fender washers, but it would be nice to have the original mounts so that I have two more bolts. Bud has 4 holes in the skid plate, more is better, right?

I'm going down to pick it up Thursday afternoon, I'll try to understand what you're talking about. Maybe I could check out your truck at the meeting and you could show me? He also has an '85 solid axle for sale for $300 I guess on Craigslist, plus some "rollers" and a bunch of other stuff. He was going to put the Toyota axle under his Blazer (again ) but found a full-width Dana 44 with lockers and gearing that he wanted, so he's going that route. Whatever I'm happy to bring the Toyota parts back into the fold...

 

[DaveInDenver]

This part, you can see the bolt on the lower left of the photo. There is a nut welded inside there that apparently after a few years of bashing the heck out your plate will break off and rattle inside.

CO2 Tank - $50

Dunno if this is the same or similar to Powertanks, but maybe a basis for DIY version? It's supposedly filled, too.

That's a 20 lb. tank -- be warned, it's tall. My tank is a 10 lb. unit, and most of the Powertanks are 5 or 10 lbs. The only one I know who runs a 20 lb. tank is Spiderlegs.

Sure, it is tall, but it'll be good so that you can fill tires, pressurize kegs, recharge paintball guns. Uncle Ben, seems like a perfect addition for the truck that you thought had it all. What's better than a movie night than a movie night with a proper beer tap? None of that silly constant pumping like some poor frat kid, we're higher class than that for sure.

Hmmmm...never thought of adding a tap. Great idea! Still plenty of room on my spare tire carrier for the draft tower! I already have a spare 20# bottle too! hmmmmmmm....I'm thinking something like this so we have choices!
