1985 Toyota 4x4 LX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fun with versatility"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front wheel hubs.
Shocks.
Brake discs.
Electrical problems.
Electric window switch.
General comments?
This little 4wd goes anywhere the other 4wds will, and when tuned properly isn't too bad on fuel.
I am 5ft 5", and I have slept in the back of mine with the seats put forward. Mine also has rust starting in the roof/gutters, but I suppose it is to be expected with a vehicle of this age.
Only drawback is lack of recovery point areas.
I love this little 4wd. Small, compact, reliable yet robust & capable.
