Amazing Condition 1987 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Turbo Automatic with only 163K Miles

Description for Toyota 4Runner 1987

Amazing Condition 1987 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Turbo Automatic with only 163K Miles. I buy and restore older Toyota vehicles (4Runners, Land Cruisers, FJs) one at a time as a hobby and I am confident you will not find a nicer 1st Gen SR5 Turbo 4Runner than this one. If you are reading this post, you know this is a "unicorn" vehicle. The SR5 Turbos simply do not exist in this condition any more and I've spent the past few months restoring the interior and installing brand new parts to bring this one back to factory condition.

Over the past few months we performed a partial restoration. For the mechanical side of things, the engine, transmission, transfer case, axles, and other drive-train components were serviced and various upgrades were performed. We then replaced all potential age-related components to new - starter, alternator, battery, spark plugs and wires, A/C compressor and system (R134a conversion performed). The undercarriage was sprayed black and the spare tire wheel was even re-sprayed white. The truck starts as soon as you turn the key, idles great, and drives like new.

We then removed the entire interior from the dash to the tailgate - no parts were left untouched. We first applied sound deafening on all flooring. We then installed brand new carpet and new SR5 seat fabric was installed on the front seats. All interior parts were removed, cleaned, and restored. Older worn-out parts were replaced and rare missing parts were acquired (ex. rear seat mount plastic covers).

We then applied a few strategic upgrades. We added a new stereo system to bring the 4Runner up to today's standards - a new Touchscreen Double Din head unit was added with DVD, Bluetooth, Hands-Free, USB, and anything else you could want along with new front 4" and rear 6x9" speakers. We also added new LED Blubs throughout the interior.

Overall, it's an amazing truck. No rust, no leaks, no scratches or dents, no problems! Everything works as it was intended to or better than it did when it rolled off the factory floor 30-yrs ago. I've been daily driving it over the past few weeks to make final tweaks. It's a blast to drive, especially watching the SR5 Turbo Boost Gauge on the Toyota Digital Dash. And of course, my kids love riding in it, especially when we take the Hard Top off!

Items Not Perfect:

- Cruise Control - Hooked up, but doesn't work well. I read a lot about it and most people simply disconnect it, so I didn't bother to fix something that wasn't designed well in the first place

- Fuel Gauge - Hooked up, but doesn't work well. It reads correctly some of the time throughout its cycle, but keeping track of mileage between fill-ups is best.

- Rear Bumper - Has a few small dings, scratches, and cracks. You cannot find this bumper anymore and many have default to aftermarket or ugly step-side bumpers, so I felt it was better keeping it even if it isn't flawless.

- Interior Plastic Trim - All interior trim was removed, cleaned, and restored, but of course there are some imperfections simply due to the age of the OEM plastic.

- Front Windshield - Had a ding in the center that was professionally repaired by Safelite AutoGlass. Is the factory 30+ year old original with the Original Toyota sticker in the corner.
