Drives nice at 70mph on highway.

Slight exhaust rattle, not leak, at startup.
Steering stops behind wheels are missing plastic caps, so it has a metal on metal sound when at full lock pulling in/out of parking spaces.

They have been fully stripped. Center console has been replaced with ammunition box. Dash is cracked as expected, but covered with dash mat. Some missing trim peices and missing headliner.Aftermarket am/fm/CD/aux
Body and frame are straight and solid, with no rot or rust with the exception of one surface spot in passenger door jamb pillar and light surfacing underneath and exhaust as seen with any vehicle.Some 'shopping cart' dings here and there.Not a show quality paint job, but durable.blue with 2k matte clear,Gray and marbled black/silver with 2k gloss clear.
Originally from New Mexico, it has only seen the snow twice (before the plows came out) just to play with the 4x4.I've never taken it off the road otherwise.
I use this car almost daily so mileage will continue to rise.Especially in this warm weather and my kid enjoys going for rides sitting in the back. It's definitely different than most convertibles out there.I drive it locally and on 300+ mile round trips without concern. I'm confident this could drive coast to coast and back.
I'm only selling to invest money into business. I'm not in the business of selling vehicles. Thousands invested into this recently. It is 32 years old. Reliable and strong. It runs and drives great, but if you're expecting it to drive like a modern car, you'll be disappointed. It drives and handles like an older style truck. The aggressive, oversized tires don't help for quietness or comfort on pavement. I'd prefer the smaller stock size as I only drive it on the road, but like the look of the bigger wheels. Suspension is tight. It does have independent front suspension with torsion bars and the rest leaf springs are still 'smiling'.
I have yet to see another on the road in my area. Most vehicles of this age have completely rotted out in my area. All 4x4 enthusiasts are intrigued when they see this. Most others are interested in the removable top. In the rare case I see an old full size blazer or bronco, they never have the top off. Toyota, however, encouraged it by installing a factory roll bar.
Also worth noting is the rear seats fold flat. Excellent for additional cargo or camping out in. Tent on wheels. Softtopper sells a rear screen window to go with this top.
