1986 Toyota 4 runner.  This is a well-built rock crawler.  It works fantastic off road and pretty decent on the pavement also, though it wouldn't be my first choice as a daily driver.  I'm really going to miss it but a growing family has moved me into a new project off-roader with four doors.
 
I've never trailered it, always drove it to and from the trails.  I've driven it to both CO and NM multiple times to wheel without issues.  The body is in pretty decent shape.  There is some paint fading on top of the cab.  It has some small nicks, scratches and dents plus AZ pin striping, but nothing major I would point out.  The interior is in quite good shape.  The 22RE engine and W56 tranny are out of an 88 4runner.  The engine runs well.  The engine has about 187,000 miles on it and the body has about 215,000.  There are no leaks anywhere on the truck that I have seen and I just looked it over again.  I've probably put about 10-15,000 miles on it in the last 5 years.  When it's not out on a trail, it's been kept in the garage.  There is NO RUST anywhere on the body or frame.  Just passed Maricopa county emissions 3/28/14.  I have most of the receipts for all the parts. 
 
Lots of stuff listed below and there is probably more stuff I forgot to mention.  Ask away if you have any questions.

Other good stuff
Can-Back soft top frame with a custom built soft top.  Soft top was built by a professional boat upholstery shop with Sunbrella fabric.  They made a few upgrades over the can-back top including a zipper rear window instead of Velcro.  No rips or tears.  No hard top with the truck.  Tailgate has also been gutted.  No glass or window mechanism
FJ80 1" master cylinder with a manual proportioning valve kit from Front Range Off-Road to control the rear disk brakes
Hella H4 headlight conversion 

Interior
Front seats out of a mid 90's Acura Integra.  Coverking custom fit neoprene seat covers.  No rear bench seat.  This is where the spare rides
Cobra 18 WX ST II CB radio installed in the DIN space below the CD player.  Coaxial cable run all the way out the back to a CB antenna mount.  All you need to supply is the antenna and tune it
Basic CD player.  Aux-in on the back but no front inputs.  I know the radio works but don't know about the CD player.  It off most of the time cause it's hard to hear much over the tire/road noise at freeway speeds anyway.  Only has two front 4" speakers
Aftermarket custom fit vinyl floor kit
Grant steering wheel

Issues -- Nothing major to report, but this is what I can think of.  Some of them have been around for the past five years I've wheeled it.  Just not important enough for me to look into fixing.
Speedometer reads about 7 MPH fast
Fuel gauge work up until about 3/4 to 1/2 a tank then it drops off fast.  Sending unit probably needs to be changed.  I just use the trip meter
Horn does not work.  Never looked into it
A/C is all there, but does not work.  Never looked into it either.  Never drive the truck in the summer here in PHX

First live photos and impressions of Toyota's 2014 Corolla

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

After releasing official pictures and a press release about an hour earlier, Toyota chose an aircraft hanger at the Santa Monica airport as the venue for the global introduction of its highly anticipated 2014 Corolla. Following an extended aerial acrobat show, which included performers running along the walls, swimmers romping in a massive overhead clear plastic pool and angry dancers destroying their cardboard stage in a glittery fit... the all-new C-segment star of the show was lowered on cables from the ceiling. (After the strobe lights and pounding sound that preceded it, the final vehicle reveal was almost anticlimactic.)
Face-to-face with the eleventh-generation sedan, we liked what we saw. Compared to last year's Corolla, the new model appears smaller in person - yet that is mostly an optical illusion. By the tape, it is four inches longer and slightly wider than its predecessor, but a bit shorter. The wheelbase has been stretched nearly four inches, yet the front and rear overhangs only give or take about an inch in the conversion. With the exception of the enormous wheel/fender gap (the new Corolla seems to ride too high), its overall proportions are very pleasing.
The fresh styling is modern and stylish, with sculpted lines that add character to a formerly bland sedan
