Bed Pickup, finished in original Medium Blue (Paint Code 857), was
manufactured July 1985 in Japan. Purchased new later that year at
Carter Toyota in Newberry, SC. The first owner kept it until 2004
when it was sold here locally in South Carolina according to the
records. The second owner kept it until late 2024; only 2 owners
for almost 40 years. This truck runs great and has a clean Car Fax
and South Carolina title. Highlights:Short Bed 4x4Rebuilt 22R with
Weber CarbNew Aisin Clutch KitOnly Two Owners from 1985 -
2004Southern Vehicle - Sold new in Newberry, SCFront Straight
AxlePowering this truck is the original 22R 2.4L (2366cc or 144
cubic inch) 4-cylinder engine, paired with the G52 5-speed manual
transmission. The manual hubs engage easily and the four-wheel
drive shifts into high range and low smoothly (even the dash light
works!). The 22R engine rebuild is documented and performed by
Precision Cylinder Head of Aiken, SC. A fuel pressure regulator was
added as well as a Weber Carb which makes the engine runs smooth.
When the engine was removed a complete Aisin clutch kit was
installed and the clutch master cylinder replaced. This 4WD model
includes factory options like power brakes, manual front hubs,
front tow hook, heavy-duty off-road suspension, crank windows, and
bucket seats. We do have an ammo can center console which goes with
the sale.Over the years, a few aftermarket upgrades and accessories
were added, such as aluminum radiator for enhanced cooling
capacity. The front head lights have been replaced with LED. A
common and effective upgrade for better lighting at night and
reduction in amperage draw. A roll bar was previously installed in
the bed but removed a long time ago. When we received this truck a
toolbox was mounted in back but looks better (IMHO) with it
removed. A Sony CD player was installed in favor of the factory
with a set of Scosche 6x9 speakers behind the seats in MTX vented
boxes. The axle code G292 reveals an 8.0' rear end with a 4.100:1
gear ratio and 2-pinion setup. The bed, despite years of service,
remains in great shape, with only minimal surface rust in the bed.
A few areas were mitigated with a rust inhibitor by the prior
owner, but nothing has been sealed or painted. The original wheels
have been replaced with 17' machined black and silver split spoke
design Toyota OEM take-offs. The tires are 265/70R17 Michelin
Defender LTX M/S tires and have great tread depth. The original
spare is no longer present.Inside, the blue cloth seats (Trim Code
VN81) and vinyl floors show signs of use but remain in good
condition. The dashboard features an aftermarket Sony CD player and
heat controls. For air conditioning, you'll need to crank that
window down! The dash shows a few cracks, and the passenger side AC
vent is missing.Body Data Plate Information:Factory Build
