Very clean looking 86 4x4 in TX

[WahooSteeler]

Yeah, it has the 2.Hate, but for $3k this truck appears to check all the other important boxes. 4wd, looks to be rust free (as much as a 34yr old MJ can be LOL), hell the straight chrome rear bumper alone is worth $500

Its a blue truck with a red interior. That makes me think the truck has been painted, which leads me to my next question: Why was the truck painted? Was it in an accident? If it was in an accident, was it repaired correctly?

down south the repaints are frequently because of clearcoat burnoff.  but yes, you should always check for evidence of an accident when crawling under a used vehicle.

I am familiar with that, I just am going with pretty much worst case scenario, rust would be worst case scenario, I'd rather fix crash damage than rust.

The bumper ...

This thing's definitely a repaint, and I'm not going to go looking for my 1986 brochure but I don't remember that color being factory. The badge positions don't look too bad, but a handful of things just don't look right. I'll call the light blue/Garnet interior combo "fashion forward".

 

It all depends on the rust situation, but even unrusty at 3k this thing is a bit rough around the edges. There's also the fact that it contains either 0 or 1 desirable drivetrain components, depending on if there's a D35 or an AMC 20 lurking beneath.

 

Interior ain't half bad other than the driver seat (which will be difficult to find a replacement for) and the missing headliner. Brushed aluminum dash bezel enthusiasts, here's your truck.

 

I hate to burst any bubbles (nah, just kidding) but I think the bumper has a bit of yeehaw to it. It looks twisted a little bit left to right. It's not bad, but it doesn't look perfect to me either.

 

Also LOL at the Trump sign stuffed behind the seats. I'll let the crowd decide if that's a plus or a minus.

 

Overall, there's some good and some bad on this truck. If it's not rusty and you're willing to deal with the 86 drivetrain, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Ditto ... I just so want a chrome rear bumper I'm willing to compromise (a little).

[WahooSteeler]

Nobody (me) said the rear bumper is perfect...........but it APPEARS to be about as good as any you can find that's on a truck and not in an NOS box. Still worth $500.

better than my chrome by any measure

Price has dropped to $2,500, it looks like a good buy for someone.
