David VanHulzen and his
1985 4 Runner

Toyota 4x4

David's 1985 4 Runner looks like any other from the outside. Slightly larger tires and front mounts for a tow bar are all that stand out. But under the hood there is just something not quite stock living under there. David had his old 22r removed and upgraded to a 1987 Ford Mustang 5.0 , HO V8. And Yes it's California Smog Legal! His Transmission is a Borg Warner World Class T5, 5 speed bolted up with an Advance Adapter. Exhaust: 3" Flowmaster takes care of the exhaust chores.
