O.T. Would you take a free Toyota?

Ran when parked ~5 years ago. May need brakes. Homemade wooden flatbed. Interior is intact. Looks to be ~1990 vintage. The idea would be to have a 4x4 that can go 100 miles at highway speed to get to my land the long way around early and late in the season, and nothing more. Is the running gear strong? Does it have real mechanical 4WD with no weird electrical or vacuum-powered junk? I've worked on a couple of 1980s Toyotas with all the vacuum-powered smog equipment and I don't want to deal with any more of that. But assuming I can get it fired up and it runs and somewhat stops, is this a reasonably solid design or is there a lot of fussy stuff that's liable to break if abused?
