This 1986 Toyota 4Runner is a clean, well-kept example of one of Toyota’s most iconic 4x4s, offered by a private seller in Newport Beach, California. Factory-equipped with the legendary 22RE fuel-injected inline-four engine and 4WD with manual locking Aisin hubs, this first-generation 4Runner has lived a rust-conscious life in the dry climates of Arizona and California. While mostly stock in appearance and function, it's been lightly upgraded with tasteful modifications including 4.88 gears, a 2" lift with 33" Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT tires, and a reliable list of engine and cooling upgrades. With a clean body, functioning A/C, and zero mechanical issues, it’s a ready-to-go adventure rig or collectible base.

• A Legendary 4×4: Introduced in 1984, the first-generation Toyota 4Runner married Toyota’s legendary pickup toughness with a removable fiberglass top and SUV utility, becoming an instant icon for off-roaders and collectors alike. With body-on-frame construction, compact dimensions, and classic boxy styling, early 4Runners are now highly sought-after, especially in well-maintained and rust-free condition.
• 22RE Reliability & Trail-Ready Gearing: This 1986 model is powered by Toyota’s factory-rated 2.4L 22RE fuel-injected inline-four engine, known for its reliability and simplicity. Power is sent through an automatic transmission to a dual-range transfer case and 4WD with Aisin manual-locking hubs. Upgraded 4.88 front and rear gears, combined with 33” tires, provide improved crawl ratios for off-road performance.
• Tasteful, Functional Modifications: Key upgrades from reputable brands include an LCE double-row timing chain, LCE headers, new radiator and oil pump, and a custom driveshaft and exhaust system from YotaTech. A 2" lift gives it the right stance without sacrificing drivability, and a new windshield, cold-blowing A/C, and working power features round out its everyday usability.
• Well Maintained History: With a life spent in Arizona and California, this 4Runner benefits from dry-climate preservation. The truck has never been wheeled hard—used mainly on forest service roads—and includes recent service items like a new oil pump, radiator, and other key engine components. A smog test has been passed and it's ready for its next chapter.
