Only 350,000? My 86 has 470,000 and has only required gas oil and tires... If you have rust Toyota is buying back at full excellent condition Kelly BB value currently I think 85 to 96? I will check back with that.
I love my old 85 but I really do need a newer rig . Last winter I was crossing the northern rocky mountains and my air filter iced up in a blizzard, we were stranded for a while. I don't want to sell it but really no rig will last forever and that scary mountain crossing was not fun. I'm going to have to make a few more crossings this winter and not looking forward to it. The 85 Toyota was a unique model as it still had both straight axles but it also had computerized F.I. Folks make rock crawlers out of them by giving them a super lift, putting on huge tires and the small block Chevy engine conversion. I want to get a land cruiser or one of the larger 4 runners so we can cruise with passengers. The rust and beat up appearance is a bit embarrassing at times. Everywhere we go ours is the oldest, most rotten looking rig on the road. New cars everywhere these days it seems, where do all these folks get their money from ?

Rickers, sorry you feel that way. My daily driver is a 95 Chevy Silverado K1500 that has gave my very few problems.
