    1987 4Runner
    Lifted
    About a year ago, this 4Runner was rolled over. It was a nice, 1 owner vehicle with over 350K miles.
    Limited Edition, automatic, 3.4L
    Been sitting on it for months trying to decide if it was worth fixing up or turning into a derby car. Finally decided a few months ago that a part-out was best.
    Spend hours yesterday taking off the Elocker and removing the transmission.
    Must say, a car lift will pay for itself a thousand times over.. lol
    Going to keep the Elocker, but definitely want to sell the transmission. Leaning towards keeping the engine for a 3.4 swap in one of my 1st Gens.
    Other than the roof, the body is in pretty nice shape, and and the frame has very little rust.
    Personally I enjoy taking part older Toyotas to see what parts all held up over time and which ones are just total junk..
