    Rear axle is 1989, 3" wider than stock
    Front axle is original 85, gusseted and reinforced tubes
    FJ 40 vented discs, V6 4 piston calipers, wheel spacers in front, new pads
    FJ80 master cylinder
    Sky high clearance crossover steering
    IFS steering box, moved 2” forward
    FJ80 tie rod ends
    37x12.50x 15 MTR's with around 75% life left
    8"x15 steel rims
    Spare is 37 x16.5 rim, Wrangler tire no leaks but old, same height as MTRs
    Outside Roll bar is air tank for OBA, also has Scuba tank for OBA; will come with new MR-50 compressor for the OBA, 5 air chucks throughout the truck and 2 gauges
    In cab roll cage
    4 point RJS harness

    Ammo can console between seats

    Custom front and rear bumpers, reciever hitch in rear, sliders, 1-1/2 tubes from front bumper around front fenders to sliders, to rear fenders, to rear bumper
    (360* protection from fenders down)
    Rear springs are 63" chevys, one leaf removed, dual shackles but I welded them so they can't open; rear also has coils for overloads
    Front springs are Downey rears, custom home made coil over springs over Bilstein 5125 shocks
    Custom antiwrap bar for rear springs, works very well
    8" pipe caps welded over both diffs for guards
    Front driveshaft is square receiver tubing, .250” thick
    Rear slider window
    All glass is good, windshield replaced 6 months ago
    Rocklights- 2 up front

    no radio or stereo
    gas gauge is accurate
    Left front axle outer is Longfield 27 spline, inner is stock
    Right front axle is Longfield 30 spline, inner is chromo
    No rust, been garaged for last 5 years that I know of.
    Paint job is from Maeco, not bad and 1 year old, fleet white Dupont paint.
    Roof rack is homemade and strong enough for 3 adults to stand in.
    Passed Boise Idaho smog laws and have the certificate, 3 months ago
    I have a clear Idaho title in my possession, not salvage, my name, and no liens.
    Always use synthetic oil in engine, changed every 2000 miles. All fluids in truck changed semi-annually.

    I typically drive it 45-75 miles to trails on the backroads; do the trails, and return home.It will get 22-23 mpg driving it easy and under 60mph. I have driven it down the Interstate at 60-65mph and it does fine, will go faster but engine is turning near 3k and I don't push it.
    The truck has a rough idle due to the cam but smooths right out at 1000 rpm. My check engine light does come on when you get above idle. I have run the codes and nothing. Had the Snapon guy run the codes, and nothing. Cornwell tool guy ran a scanner-nothing. We suspect that the light comes on because of something in the ac harness that came with the 88 motor does not have a sensor in it. Runs fine, no problem. Shut the key off and idle, no light.
    Three weeks ago, I resealed the front axle and used Marlins new inner axle seals, repacked wheel bearings, put on new pads, new HD pinion seal
    I have an epoxy garage floor, and there are NO leaks on the truck. Have lots of spares for the truck, all hoses and belts, ps pump, spare cap and rotor, grille, front axle seals that stuff.
    I have a spare inner left, and inner right front axle, one stock birfield, and set of new MM front hubs that go with the truck. I have a spare set of 4 steel rims that can go with the truck, nothing special about them-and they are ugly.
    Factory service manual in print included.
    Hi-lift mount in bed.
    Large Plastic toolbox, lockable, with rack included
    Two sets of tire chains for the 37’s included if you want them.
    Truck runs and drives great, really smooth ride over washboards and such.
    I don’t use the truck to it’s potential anymore. Body is pretty clean but not perfect. Looking to go back to a mild built Tacoma TRD xcab, or similar for more comfort, more streetable, AC, more of an adventure trail rig.
    Good pic of rig in Readers Rigs mag, spring 09 issue.

    $7300 or possible trade for the right Tacoma TRD xcab, 4runner. I am old and picky, no junk or projects to be finished.

    I have a matching 1953 M100 trailer that is highly customized that can go with the truck for an additional $1700. I will not sell the trailer separately, until the truck sells. Trailer pics here.

    New price $6995 for the truck. Found some trucks I want to consider for the next project.
    Trailer has been sold seperately to a member here.

    I'd be happy to give this a thorough look over for anyone interested. I've seen the truck several times on the trail and it always works well.
