| I wonder why this 4 runner has not sold.

| It doesn't look too bad in the pics. 

==> Actually she is in pretty good condition. If my wife's work had not
relocated her to Utah this '85 Toyota 4Runner would not be for sale!

I grew-up here in North Alabama, served in the military stationed in Monterey,
CA in the mid 80's at Fort Ord, CA. So for me to move to Utah is doable,
however I would need to either put two of my Toyota 4wd's in storage or
sell one. Our house will need to sell in Huntsville, AL etc. 

Hey, I like Utah and all of the trails out there. 
Especially the Mountains!  ;-)   Once I had seen the Mountains and all of the 
beautiful scenery out west it gave me a new appreciation for the beauty of our
great nation. (sorry, I got side tracked again)  : ^)


| Wasn't 2,750 the original asking price as well?
==> no - originally I was asking 3,825.
now reduced to $2,795.

| Dee what kind of condition is this truck in?

==> New OEM wires, distributor cap, rotor button, and spark plugs.
 {these were all purchased and installed in early November 2001.}
I have replaced the worn-out OEM shocks with New Bilstein shocks.
 
| Miles = 195,000
| running = Yes and no.

==> She was running... 
Now after sitting and not being driven the battery is dead.
 (it didn't help that I left the dome light on. 
This of course completely killed the battery)

| rust = some rust not too bad though. 
Surprisingly enough there is no rust through on the frame. 
Not even any scaling on the frame either.  :o )

| Does it have some kind of checkered history
| we should know about?

==> No, not that I'm aware of but don't take my word for it feel free to
verify this with your own Carfax history http://www.carfax.com then
you will see that she is clear from any checkered history.  : ^)

=> Just enter her VIN  JT3RN65W9F5040618  at the Carfax site, 
pay the 15 bucks and voila! It would be a "blessing" to me *if* my financial
situation were to improve. I would really like to keep this 4Runner!

With my wife and now 11-month-old son living in Utah it does not seem 
financially sound for me to maintain my 3 Toyota's and a Pontiac Sunfire!

If there are any further questions please feel free to contact me off-list with
my email address in my signature file. Thanks for the bandwidth!
Happy Trails,
