  1. Does this mean that it is a semi-floating rear axle or a full floating? It has the dual rear tires.
  2. Can anyone please tell me what I see here? Is this a 5 lug rear axle ? Is this semi float or full float? How are the tires? The rust?
  3. Ok. I am going to buy it and I am going to get RV coverage. Can you recommend to me what sounds good for RV coverage? As in full coverage insurance? I will do what I can to keep it running, and when the time comes.. I will be gone in it. If it fails me, well at least I tried. Life will go on. I really appreciate all the wisdom there is to share with me. I will continue to use this website as a source and hopefully be able to clearly identify connections and build relationships within this community. Thank you for your time and interest in replying to this topic.
  4. Thanks for your input. I understand older vehicles aren’t cheap. I wasn’t directing my inquiry as cheap in any way, I stated how much I can afford at this time to get the vehicle purchased. In addition, I understand vehicles of this age may need constant work and attention. That’s not a problem, I’m just curious as to what I may need to know to look for.. common issues with these vehicles. As you can see I am new to this forum and these vehicles, I posted this thread so to get as much info as possible before making a decision. Thanks.
  5. I called Toyota to determine the information of the recall. The service advisor told me that because it’s a 4 cylinder, and it has dual rear tires, that there’s no need for concern. Also he told me that there was no recall on the vehicle. Expired or not there wasn’t one... how do you guys know of this recall?
  6. Ok, so what about the 5 lug rear axle makes it bad? it does have dual rear tires.. is there a concern there?
  7. Greetings Toyota home family, i just joined this site and am a newb. Please forgive me for this may be a repeat topic. I do believe each situation is unique and needs addressing differently, that is why I am posting today. Heres my story, I live in Southern California. A friend of mine purchased this 85 sunrader escaper from an elderly gentleman in Wyoming. He drove it down to SoCal, and is now trying to sell the vehicle. My concern is that the vehicle has 5 lug axle. I am not sure how the electrical components work, I would love it if someone could explain how to use them if they know. i don’t require a lot for use. I simply want to own this vehicle for weekend trips and perhaps driving across the country. How much would you say I need to put into it, given it’s age and condition? I really want to jump on this opportunity yet I’m also weary, which is why I’m researching to see if I can find out some first hand experience and more information on this vehicle. Any and all, helpful, recommendations are greatly appreciated. Please let me know as soon as possible.
