I have had this posted on some off-road forums, but I thought I would try here as well. Perhaps for someone looking to get into offroading? I will also consider trade + cash for a 2wd tacoma.
I have an 89 SASed 22re 174k 5 spd with an 83 front axel using All Pro stuff. The truck is geared to 5.29's, 37" x-terrains, front locker. all pro t-case brake, new alt, starter and battery.
I bought the truck in feb of 07 and only put 3k miles on it. The truck runs great but needs a little tlc. For example, the front axel seals leak, I have had a full rebuild kit for months now waiting to be installed.
I bought the truck with the intentions of fixing it up a bit and wheeling it. Well after the birth of my second child, I have absolutely no time to work on the truck, or to go offroading at all, (took it on the beach once) has accrued since i bought it.
I am looking to sell it for about 4k or trade it for a stock or near stock pickup. I need something for utility purposes and that will not require the time or maintenance of such a modded truck. Not to particular as to what I am looking for, and if someone is really zealous, I also have a mint running/looking 96 jeep cherokee I can also barter with for maybe something along the lines of a tacoma?
SAS/Suspension: the sas was done using allpro hardware and an 83 front axle. The main part of it (welding the spring hangars and axel prep) were all done well. However, the original shock towers are utilized. The rear suspension is all leaf and shackle (alcan leafs i believe) no blocks. So basically the suspension needs new shock towers and shocks.
Drivetrain: the engine is at 173k. It starts right up, runs smooth and pulls better than I expected. The truck does not blow any smoke or anything like that. There is nothing that ought not be in the oil (ie moisture) The clutch and tranny work great, the t-case shifts smoothly. The axels are geared to 5.29's and give the tuck better power than I would think. Only the front has a locker (loc right). The exhause hangs a bit low and the truck is loud. It sounds good though. Everyone thinks it is a v6.
Wheels/Tires: the 4 37X13.5 procomp x-terrains are mounted on black steelies and have about 50% tread. The spare is the same tire, almost brand new.
Interior: It could use a good cleaning. The dash is not cracked and in generally good shape. the cloth on the door panels is loose and there is a tear in the drivers seat on the side. The stereo is not worth mentioning and there is no A/C. The heat works well though.
Body: The body is in generally good shape, but a show truck it is not. There is a good amount of pin striping and the tailgate is dented.
The Bad: The only 2 real issues right now (besides leaking front axel seals, but I will include the rebuild kit I have) are: there is a bad steering shimmy from 40-50 miles per hour. My mechanic said it was either tire balance or a bent rim. There is no bump steer or death wobble when driving and hitting a pothole or something. Also, the speedo cable needs either to be lubed or replaced as it squeals.
Basically it is a great truck for the backyard tinkerer to (like me) to have. It runs great and the major work is all done, and most anyone can do the rest to make it whatever they want. That was my reason for buying it, but it just isnt the right time for me. I love the truck and want to keep it, but i figure it doesn't make sense as i dont see myself using it much if at all.
What i am looking for: I should have said this originally. Most likely i am looking at an 89-95 pickup. 4cyl, 4X4, A/C would be great, something in the low 100k miles range. The goal would be to use it as is now and build it up at a later date. A truck like that ought to be worth about as mine. Because it needs some work and the body isnt great, any value gained from the SAS is sort of cancelled out.
