I bought an 87 Toyota 4runner. Completely stock, no rust, runs great. Need to replace the oil pan gasket and rear main seal and then drive the sh!t out of it.

I'm actually a fan of the 4runner. It's the ragged out tacos that I don't like. PICS! haha

Huge fan of the 4Runner. We have a 97 with close to 200K. The most stable dependable SUV.. Period.. We live in the Mtns with snow covered roads almost 6 months of the year and with studded tires this thing gets us home..

Looks great, 22re? I can't remember what year they started offering the v6.

 

[cegusman]

Yeah 22re 5 speed manual. Runs down the hwy at 75-80 mph no problem. Need to fix the oil leak and get the a\c working and it will be good to go.

 

[michael0584]

22re is the way to go. I've always heard the v6 had problems and didn't offer much more power.

 

[BGKYK5]

I've always wanted one of those too. In fact I'll be needing a new DD soon...

My blazer was down for repairs this past summer so I was lucky enough to have my buddy loan me his 4Runner for a couple wheeling trips. It's pretty well built with the 22RE and solid axle(85 was the golden year 'cause yo could get both). The 4.88's, Marlin Doubler and 35's don't hurt either....not bad for a loaner
Definitely felt small compared to my truck.

So?

do they have cookies?


congrats on the runner if I fit in them I would be wheeling one right now have built several runners over the years

So it looks like a little more money to get this thing going but not much. Originally thought it was the rear main and oil pan leaking. Once I got the trans out, I found out the trans front input seal and gasket are also leaking and the clutch and fly wheel needs to be replaced. Should be under $300 for the parts.

Still alot cheaper than doing struts, brakes, suspension bushings and reseal of the motor on my daily driver 01 Saturn.
