Not bad, has a high steer conversion (thank god). Would have to see if the frame was reinforced where the steering box is mounted though...

Overall it looks pretty good, rusty, but good. Would do some closer inspections to make sure the rust isn't anything more than surface.

It's gonna get crappy gas milage for sure though...

What engine is in it?

What engine is in it?

3vze V6. In all honesty, I'd rather have a 22re in that thing. The 3v is a PITA to work on, not to mention that it has headgasket issues.

The only good thing about it being a 3.slow, is that it's got a stronger r series transmission, but the 4cylinder transfer case is better (gear driven vs chain driven)

And if it was 22re powered it's much, much easier to swap in a 7M.

 

[NashMan]

7m not a chance i think more of the 3.4 swap or yoda v8 if choose to do that

gas milage wonte be to bad city it will fucken suck high way not so much

there's suppost to be no rust on it at all but i ahve yet to take look at it

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

what are you talking about, anything lifted on a highway is going to suck on gas no matter how you drive.

 

[NashMan]

as i said befor not that bad compare to stop go traffic

Unless you have a specific use in mind for this I'd keep the BMW it makes MUCH more sense as a DD.

 

[shaeff]

Indeed. If you do in fact off-road a decent amount, it might be worth it. Half the fun for me is building my own stuff, though, so I can't really comment much.

For a DD, I'd keep the BMW.

 

[Cya]

BMW for DD no question.

THIS ^^

Lifted truck have even WORSE aerodynamics, the large tires and everything hanging under the thing, it's gonna suck fuel...

My old 82 would get 13-15MPG, I knock down 23 in the supra...

 

[NashMan]

well if buy this truck my intetion is to go wheeling cause were i loive there just so many spot to go plaus i go hunting and such

usely just used my dads truck but he bitch and complain about roung roads ect how truck may get dented ect cause of it's low hight

truck for winter car for spring summer

 

[buckshotglass]

My 94 4Runner had 5 head gasket jobs in it's life. If you don't drive on the highway, get it. If you commute to work, and the Bim is a good dd, keep it.
Edit, but I drive a 99 4Runner every day, it's my dd along with the 92. The 99 has had no HG problems.

 

[johnathan1]

I would keep the BMW...but then again, I'm a prissy bitch. :]

Apparently you've never heard of getting a vehicle geared for bigger tires etc. May never get EXACTLY the same milage but its gonna be so damn close that it wont be noticeable.
