Lifted With A Mercedes 300sd Turbo Diesel Motor Inline 5 Cylinder on 2040-cars

 I have a Very Rare 1985 Toyota 4Runner SR5 (last year with solid front axle) with a 3.0 liter OM617.952 Turbo Diesel for sale.

Currently 17,xxx miles on the swap.

This is an incredible truck and is always getting looks, comments, double takes, questions anywhere I go and when people hear that it is a diesel, the response never gets old. Never been stuck anywhere yet. I am pretty light on the truck as it is. I go by the "it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" with this thing. Never sees over 60 mph, and rarely sees boost over 6 psi. I built this truck to be a good gas mileage/Ultra Reliable/Versatile/Utilitarian Rig and it has become just that.

I have no real reason to sell it other than to see what I could get for it, and I have recently moved into the city and parking this can be interesting. I would possibly trade for a WRX, but it would have to be near stock, and would prefer a wagon. NO AUTOMATICS

I will not entertain low-ballers. There are only 6 that I have seen like this ever and this one is the ONLY one in within kentuckiana/ohio. The next closest is a project underway in Southern TN. I have receipts and pictures along with video for nearly everything and every mod. Also have every Fuel Fill-up since the swap, minus 2 or 3 when the printer at the pump didn't work.

Thanks for taking a look!!
