Imagine, one day you're sitting there on your couch, sipping an ice cold beer when suddenly your ****in' window gets punched through and a half-rotten, blood soaked arm comes lumbering in your window. You sit there for a second wondering if someone is playing a joke on you or if someone slipped something in your drink... and then you realize.... HOLY **** THERE'S A ZOMBIE TRYING TO GET IN MY HOUSE. Being that you are a badass and you have a shotgun lying between your couch cushions and you blow off the head of the undead baddie trying to eat your painfully acquired knowledge muscle. First thing's first you grab all of your friends/family, weapons, food, and your bug out bag and you throw it into your.... honda civic? You start driving and get caught in traffic as creatures of the night come out and eat you and your happy little family because you suck at planning and that little honda can't even drive over a curb! If you haven't noticed, **** is going down in Florida, there's been a few reports of cannibalistic attacks, doctor's spitting blood at police and other references to biting during assaults..... its only a matter of time before it spreads to California... the Bay Area has 3 major international airports! Well, time to open my Zombie survival kit... : collapse

I put this up for sale a year ago and I couldn't bring myself to sell this badass mother****er, but I've replaced it with something a little bigger, I hate to sell it, but I need the money and maybe someone else can use it to it's full potential. It took me over a year to find this truck and I've spent lots of money getting it up to a level that I wanted it at. I built this thing with reliability in mind, it has some power modifications but most are for longevity in the case that **** hits the fan. It's more of an expedition rig more than a rock crawler. I wanted bullet proof that I could never wonder if it would start when it mattered most! The truck will be sold with brand new tags with a new smog cert. I kept just about every receipt for every service done to this thing and I religiously change the oil every 3k miles.

1985 Toyota 4 runner: this is considered the unicorn of Toyota trucks because it is the only year of the fuel injected 22RE and the solid front axle.

It has 2 bucket seats up front, and a bench seat in the back which fold down and convert it from an SUV to a pickup. Also the rear is removable which is freaking awesome for the summer, and the roll bar in the rear serves as an excellent mounting point for a machine gun!

Engine / performance :
15k miles on a built motor built 2 years ago by Putney's Custom Machine in Chico who specializes in 22R motors. At the same time a new OEM clutch was installed along with a rebuilt w56 5 speed transmission.
The build included:
+0.020 bore with King pistons, rods and bearings
+1mm stainless Forrea valves
Port and polish job
Custom grind Putney's cams
Enhanced oiling valve train with upgraded springs
Corteco head gasket
Cleaned and flowtested injectors
and much more!
Also Replaced: water pump, timing chain, oil pump, and belts

Interior:
Replaced all interior lights with LEDs and added LED maplights.
Removed all the carpet and rhinolined the interior so it can be hosed out
Grant GT steering wheel
10 switch switch panel
Upgraded cigarette lighter wiring for using big power inverters

Exterior:
2 part epoxy marine grade olive drab paint, rockin Huck Gee skull stickers on the side!
Cut fenders for clearance
2" lift with chevy springs in the rear
Black rockcrawler steel rims 15x8
33x10.5x15 BFG KM2 tires with lots of tread on them
Rear spotlights for backup lights
Smittybuilt rear tube bumper with trailer receiver
All pro front winch bumper

For the full asking price I'll throw in all of my spare parts and upgrades which includes:
Bigger brake calipers and pads which were just rebuilt
4" lift allpro front lift springs and 3" rear blocks and a Ubolt flip kit
4" extended "terminator" shocks
Extended stainless steel brake lines
KC daylighter offroad lights
Set of "offroad" heddman headers
Box of spare parts including: MAF, alternator, water pump, charcoal canister and a bunch of other stuff.
Full size spare

The only work that this truck really needs it that the axle seals on the front leak, but besides that this truck will run forever if you treat it right!
