My 1984 4runner a year in review.

Body was done at a shop in Chattanooga off Roseville blvd. Looks like a Toyota junkyard and only use it if you can live with out your Toyota for 6-9 months. The cost is right though, only cost me $1500. Not a perfect job, but incredible for the price and amount of body work done.

Currently my 88 is at his shop and has been there 8 months. Needed a little more work than the 84, but still he is just slow. Should be between $1500-$2000.

Engine and trans I did with the help of a friend at his shop at his house.

where did you go to get that paint job done? How much did it end up costing you?

Replied above but didn’t hit reply.

Thanks, been a fun budget build. When I drove to NM to pick it up from my little brother, I decided the little 4runner had had a hard enough life. It was time to restore it and make it a driver. It’s spent all the time it needed on trails from SC, AZ, and NM and still started after sitting 3 years. It’s getting close to completion, but I still may go back to retro white disc wheels.

I like the truck. Great budget deal there

Great job with the truck. Maybe it'll be around for your son to inherit someday.

I bet that little fellow in the shotgun seat will drive it one day. Great vehicles. I just got my first new 4runner and at 69 it might be my last vehicle.

That’s the plan. Turn it from a toy to heirloom.
