Re: 85 for sale in canada

Yes, the owner sent me some more photos of the dash. Definitely not an SR5.
It would have been just about right for me if it were a SR5. My search continues.

Re: 85 for sale in canada

I agree. Dubious about the SR5 claim. I have asked for photos from the seller.
Kinda thought that was the case regarding the auto tranny 3 speed. If I hear back from the owner, I will probably go have a look anyways.
Turns out he lives close to my daughter.

Re: 85 for sale in canada

Very interesting to me. I live only an hour away.
Would you know if the 4WD auto tranny only has the 3 gears like the 2WD. Looking to decrease my RPMs on the highway.

Re: LED Dash Lights conversion

I honestly did not know there were lights behind the temp lever. Obviously, mine don"t work at all.
How do I access them and how many bulbs did you need for the whole upgrade? Including tach / speedo.

Re: 86 fwd to 4wd conversion.

Thanks Petros. I have come to that conclusion. Rather than switching the tranny out of a 40K vehicle, I'm just gonna have to find me an SR5.
The one I want is out there. I know it.

Re: 86 fwd to 4wd conversion.

Ya. Don't really want to swap the engine. It runs so nice. But I did upgrade to 14 inch rims.
But I would like to know how you took a photo of the tach/speedo doing 120 kph. Sounds a little.... dicey.

Re: 86 fwd to 4wd conversion.

I see the problem. I misread another post. Thought I read that it was converted from FWD to manual 4WD. But it is only says manual, not 4WD. Just wishing I guess. So, another question. If I do convert to manual FWD, will it take care of the high RPMs at highway speed? That would be a huge benefit fo...

86 fwd to 4wd conversion.

A new member here. Just purchased a 86 fwd wagon automatic. Was looking for a SR5 but this vehicle caught my eye. It only has 40K miles on it with absolutely zero rust. Engine still runs like new. It needed new struts and brakes to make it road worthy. Just the odd bump and bruise otherwise. As much...
