Thinking of trading my 99 Tacoma for a 85 4runner

I currently have a 1999 Toyota Tacoma Ex.Can 4x4 2.7L Auto, all stock that I was thinking of building on.After research, it doesn't seem like it will be where it needs to without 5000-6000 in upgrades.

I was considering trading it for a 1985 Toyota 4runner that was already built.

What do you guys think?Good idea?

Well it can cost more than 6000 dollars to build a first gen 4Runner (look at my sig below) and im still not done, so if you can find a truck thats already built and has everything that your looking for then go for it.
