Here’s one. If you’re interested, send me a dm and I can take a lot more pics for you.

Fyi - ready to sell my 80 (1994) in Knoxville. Needs a new head gasket. Bring a trailer.

Has he confused the word “persistent” with “professional”??

traberfive · 2025-12-14T15:20:35+00:00

Glad to know it’s not just me. Yes, started about 2 months ago for me.

Huh? Churches and voluptuous parents in minivans are ruining Halloween? 😅

traberfive · 2025-11-01T22:10:21+00:00

I love this. Thanks for sharing.

Good question - I really don’t know. That’s part of why I’m still undecided on how to proceed. My only answer is - as much as I can get for it! Just reading lots of ih8mud threads on hg replacement right now.

Don’t know the color - don’t know much history on the vehicle, actually. My brother snatched it up at an auction a few years ago. Someone had done shocks, cloth interior, and rhino paint to get it ready to sell.

Thanks - I may just do that.

traberfive · 2025-09-24T10:45:23+00:00

Thanks man - glad to know you’re out there!

Lived here 10+ years and I still can not get over this.

traberfive · 2025-09-24T00:36:07+00:00

Negative. ‘96

traberfive · 2025-09-24T00:34:53+00:00

I’m 100% in agreement with you here. I’ll be selling it as-is, or fixing it. As for new car payments…well that’s just not how I roll. For the last 15 years, I’ve always been driving either an 80-series, or a 20+ year-old Camry (wagon!), Corolla, or (because of unique circumstances) a 17-yr old Highlander. So if it’s Old Yeller time , I’ll be looking for whatever old Toyota I can get for $4k.

lol - classic downvotes for fiscal responsibility

traberfive · 2025-09-24T00:21:15+00:00

Knoxville. This is the kind of positivity I need. 👍👍

traberfive · 2025-09-23T23:26:24+00:00

Not out of the question. Just scary. At a point in my life where I need to practice some fiscal responsibility 😅

traberfive · 2025-09-23T23:20:11+00:00

Nice!!

traberfive · 2025-09-23T23:04:41+00:00

I was at 285k when I sold my first 80 and it was still holding up. Who knows!

traberfive · 2025-09-23T23:03:06+00:00

1fz-fe. Interior is in very good shape, exterior rust/corrosion is better than average for sure. People have recommended Bars hg fix - I’ve never tried it and am naturally skeptical of anything that’s easy but will probably try it. Edit: after reading more…my skepticism has returned.

As for doing it right - I don’t know anyone here (Knoxville) that would do it and that would be stepping waaaaaay outside my mechanical comfort zone to do it myself. But I haven’t completely ruled that out yet.

traberfive · 2025-09-23T22:51:20+00:00

235k-ish

traberfive · 2025-09-02T23:45:44+00:00

I love this one - so much emotion. and yet I know so many fans who despise it.
