Black 4runner 300sd Mercedes Turbo Diesel 5 Cylinder Om617.952 Solid Axle Lift on 2040-cars

 I have a Very Rare 1985 Toyota 4Runner SR5 (last year with solid front axle) with a 3.0 liter OM617.952 Turbo Diesel for sale. Motor has been in the truck for a little over a year and has been my daily driver/road trip/Camping vehicle. Last year I drove 1600 Miles Round Trip to NYC and back without the slightest problem. Currently 17,xxx miles on the swap.

If you would like a video to hear it run or would like additional information please contact me.

This is an incredible truck and is always getting looks, comments, double takes, questions anywhere I go and when people hear that it is a diesel, the response never gets old. Never been stuck anywhere yet. I am pretty light on the truck as it is. I go by the "it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" with this thing. Never sees over 60 mph, and rarely sees boost over 6 psi. I built this truck to be a good gas mileage/Ultra Reliable/Versatile/Utilitarian Rig and it has become just that.

I have been set on a VW Golf TDI Manual. If you have one of those, I am really interested in a trade.

There are only 6 that I have seen like this ever and this one is the ONLY one in within kentuckiana/ohio. The next closest is a project underway in Southern TN.

To give you an idea, there is a company in the southwest that will do this swap for 10k for the motor and the labor. Not including the motor maint./mods before hand.

I have receipts and pictures along with video for nearly everything and every mod. Also have every Fuel Fillup since the swap, minus 2 or 3 when the printer at the pump didn't work.

Thanks for taking a look!!
