$1,500 "Trophy" Truck!

[Hltoppr]

As ya'll know, I usually commute on the motorcycles...however, I have found it convenient to have a 4WD for the winters here in Flagstaff....

Plus, I'd like to tow a pop up trailer to the Expo Trophy to live in comfort for a few days....


After a short search, and a heads up from fellow ExPo/IH8MUD member MoGas.....

A 1986 Toyota Regular Cab, 4WD pickup has been procured..

Original owner! He bought it here in Flagstaff in 1986!
203K....sitting for a year...started up right away! Trans and clutch are about 10K from new, give or take!

22R motor, needs a distributer o-ring! ($4.64 at the local dealer.)
Runs great!

$1,500....

Just dropped $500 on a new set of tires (Pathfinder ATs) for the winter, an oil change and lube, and will service the diffs/trans/Tfer case and she'll be good to go to the Trophy!

Pics to follow shortly!

Sounds very cool!

What your plans with the new rig?



I would like a 85' 4runner in good cond. down the road in a few years for a project truck.

Plans....

Looks like I'll drive it for the winter and trade it for the start of my Expedition trailer (M416).....plus...student loans are PAID OFF in June, 2008! So I'll likely purchase a new Expedition Rig then for future trips!

...student loans are PAID OFF in June, 2008!

Next to the birth of my children, making my final student loan payment was the proudest and happiest day of my life.

Congrats on the "new" truck. So where is this pop-up camper coming from?

Great truck. Not the same, but similar is this 1990 yota 4x4. I was impressed with is capabilities on 28" tires last saturday. It actually got me thinking about getting one!
Have fun with it!

The pop up trailer is being borrowed from a buddy....Ever since having a roof top tent, I've become a wus....I like some comfort if I'm not on the bike!

The toyota trucks are great little rigs...there's a reason you see these things in all sorts of 3rd world applications! They never die!

I'm pretty sure they have the "plug-n-play" wiring harness @ Pep Squids for ~30 bucks. What size ball does the trailer have? I have a 2" and I think a 1 7/8 around too if you need to borrow one.

Drool. I really miss my 85 Yota PU.

Hoppy brand P/N 43315

Over at PB for 45.99 +tax. They have 2 in stock.

She's already got a 4pin on her! Just gotta see what the trailer has!
