I have just a few parts but it is time for them to go.
Rear axle out of an 83
Rear hatch, not sure the year but is that off white/cream color.
Rear storage area cover, dark blue.
A head rest or 2 also the dark blue
A couple of the stereo surounds.
Oh and some of the AC stuff possibly. Can not remember what.
There may be a could other small things like ashtray and what not.
Just make an offer on whatever you want.
Some where in the Portland area is a white 85 that needs the rear 83 rear that I have. If you can produce that car I will just give you the axle. Hate to have you out there with non-working 4wd but the guy that took the car (to sell I think) did not want it.
Hope all has been going well with all of you. As for me I am deep in the Van world at this point.

The Van does things it should not. I am working on putting a desent page together so that I can just supply a link but everything takes me longer than it should.
The thing is a mountain goat like no other. Powerless like the Terc but has the benefit of a low range T-Case if you get the 5sp.
The biggest issue I have with explaining to people what the van can do is that pictures lie. Videos do too. You really have to be there.
I will try to get the site up by the end of the month though. Here is what little I have right now.

Thanks for the pix thus far. It certainly seems more capable than I would have imagined.
Apart from the engine location accessibility, any major problem areas to share with us?
That is a large man in the middle seat in some of the pix!

T4WD augury?

I had an 85 Toyota LE van several years ago, but it was a 2wd. It was in beautiful condition when I bought it, with the exception of a blown water hose at the rear of the head. I could see the hose from underneath the van, but couldn't reach it. From the top I couldn't see or touch it. That blown hose was the entire reason I was able to buy the van, because nobody in town would touch it. I ended up removing the seat and all the bolt-on access panels, but still couldn't reach it. Removing the valve cover gave me a little access, but it still took forever to cut out the center section of that short little hose, then get the ends off. I put the new hose in with screw clamps, which really made things a lot easier. Even with all I removed, the insulation in the engine compartment wore through the skin on my arm.
BTW, the van blew a hose a week for the first 6 weeks I owned it. By then I'd replaced them all, so that was good. Then it started going through alternators. It turned out there was a slight drip in a power steering line, and the fluid dripped right into the alternator.
I still miss the van from time to time, though.

The hardest thing I have had to do is open the air box. It took 20min and I bled... it was new... I was upset.
I have replaced the ALT but it was easy, the starter was easy too. The water pump was no challenge. I have messed with heater lines and such but not a bunch.
The like to blow head gaskets but I have been lucky on this one so far. I love the van.
HAHA there is even a site, go figure, there seems to be one for everything.

Though the placement of the engine seems to really suck it has been better than I ever expected.
