I love tacos but my buddy says i should get a 4runner kuz the wheels are closer together than on Pick ups. is that true?

Pick ups allso have a problem with the rear end being too lite, is that EZ fix?

craigs list.

Well, if youre in WA, you'll probably want a SA Yota. So shoot for 75-85! LOL!! There's no Tacoma in the years you specified only pickups. 4Runners from 84-85 came with SA, after that they're IFS.

Light in the back end of a pickup?? Ah, sand maybe??

I'd think single cab pickups have a shorter wheel base than 4Runners...IIRC.

$1000 is a good start for a "barely" running Yota...

Tacoma's were only made from 95.5 on up.
Before that the trucks were called trucks.

AFAIK Std cab p/u's have the same wheel base as a 4runner.
My std. cab Tacoma (99) has the same wheel base as my friends 4runner (96)

i know a guy selling an 84 i believe. I'm doin a 3.4 swap on his 90. It looks to be for the most part in okay condition. And its a solid axle on the front. PM me if you want to check it out.
