Chuck & Birgit 4RUNNER4X4

This is one tuff 1985 4RUNNER SR5 AND ITS LOADED. 22RE 4cyl, 5 speed Air, Pioneer AM-FM CASS w/ CD changer, Unidan CB. The 4RUNNER was bought in 1987 stock in Idar-Oberstein Germany when I was in the U.S. Army. I returned to the state for four years and build it up the 4RUNNER and when I returned to Germany from 92 to 95 until I retired from the Army. During the time I've ran the 4Runner in the Hanau Mud Races, and The Hessen Cup Trails in Germany, and took fourth place in class five in 1995 Hessen Cup even with missing four meets after having a piston rod bearing go out. As for tires the 33 x 12.50 on 10x15 rims there ok but they like to track in any grove that are in the road and the truck will wander. not good. the next time I'm going to go with a 33 x 11.55 or 10.50 tire. The 4RUNNER is also in NWOR CATALOG NUMBER 18, PAGE 81 and was also in a German Off Road magazine. Happy 4Wheeling Chuck & Birgit
