For $8,000, This 1987 Toyota 4Runner Hides Something Supra
For $8,000, This 1987 Toyota 4Runner Hides Something Supra-April 2024

If you want to go rock hopping then you’re probably going to want a torque monster for an engine, not a screaming mimi. Our 4Runner goes the screamer route, but is its price a screaming deal as well?

First Tina Turner dumped Ike Turner for his abuse of cocaine and of her. Then she dumped yesterday’s not long after dropping some serious coin to have it made all A-Okay in the U.S.A.. Unlike Ike, that Gelandewagen is still kicking around. Unfortunately for the seller, 56% of you deemed its price to be Crack Pipishly high so it looks like it’s off to Barter Town with the truck.

That Benz was once owned by a superstar of the entertainment industry. In complete contrast, today’s comes with a Supra engine. Not only does this off roader have a rockum-sockum 7M-GTE under its hood, but that DOHC turbo’d six is also claimed to have only 12,000 miles under its belt.

There’s likely something like 230-plus ponies coming out of that engine and those are all routed through a 5-speed stick, and are available to all four wheels via a pair of live axles front and rear. The front one is an aftermarket replacement for the IFS setup the factory thought was the way to go, while the one out back rides on a set of 63-inch Chevy springs.

Those axles are connected to a set of alloy wheels upon which are mounted knobby 35-inch GoodYear MT/Rs. The whole thing’s jacked up to allow for some pretty extreme articulation, and the approach, departure, and break-over angles all look to be generous.

The truck itself looks pretty good too. It’s a blue-paint special, and of course the back cap is removable for you fresh air fiends. An LED light bar headers the windshield as such things are wont to do these days That, along with asymmetrical sideview mirrors, are about the only conversation starters on an exterior walk around.

There are no pics of the insides. but if it’s anything like the outside, then we should be fine here. It’s an ‘80s Toyota after all. One point about that interior though: it doesn’t come with A/C so those of you in Arizona will just have to sit on your sweaty-ass hands over this one.

There is a compressor that comes with the truck, in case you want to tackle the install and make it hellscape-friendly. That’s one of a pile of parts that apparently is the truck’s dowery or just the opportunity for the seller to clean out his garage.

The title is clean and the seller says that the pics in the ad don’t do the truck justice. Justice will be served however, and it’s now time for you to rule on this Supra-powered 4Runner’s price tag. That’s $8,000 with some wiggle room. The seller says he has over $14K invested so that wiggle’s probably going to be less than that of the epic Shaq/Cat gif that we all love.

What’s your take on $8,000 for this hot-motor and its 4Runner chariot? Does that seem like a fair price to get your rocks off? Or, is that a price that ensures this is a 4Runner that makes you say I’d rather walk?

You decide!

Dallas , or go if the ad disappears.

Which One Of You Suckers Is Going To Pay Over $32,000 For A 25-Year-Old Toyota 4Runner
The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

At $18,500, Would You Lean Toward Buying This 2022 Ford Mustang?
Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...
