    Hi gang!

    Greetings from the NC Foothills.

    I scooped this sweet '85 4Runner in Roanoke, VA Thursday, October 29, 2020. 4X4, manual, red, all stock except some horrid aluminum wheels. I did talk the seller into letting me take the original steelies.

    Off the bat:

    The good - It starts, drives, shifts well, solid feeling clutch, and 4X4 works. The body is straight and any dents and dings appear easy to address.

    The not so good - It does not stop well. The rear brake cylinder is more or less the tip of a funnel for brake fluid. The power steering needs attention.

    The rest - Body and interior as expected. The engine bay is fairly clean and looks to have some newer replacements.

    Getting brakes in order is the first to-do item. Progress to be updated in the appropriate sub.
    Happy to be here! :cheers:

    Here are a few pics.
