IM BACK, and need help picking out a runner
Well, its been a while but the 00 4runner is gone and we have an 01 sienna and i am looking for a toy to keep me occupied for a year or so when i might be able to pick up a new taco. SOOO, here is my question, i am trying to decide what would work for me- i want to buy a first gen 4runner and put 33in MT's on it with a 3 inch body lift. Will the 4cyl suffice for turning those in the mud or shall i look at getting a 3L?

Dont get the 3L V6. I had a first gen runner with the 4cyl and it was perfect. On a 85 runner I had 35s with stock gears and it was kinda bad for awhile but with 4.88s it was great.
BTW- pirate bulliten board has really good info for 1st gen runners/2nd gen trucks

Either motor will do just fine, but the V6 will have an easier time doing it. I guess I'm just one of the few loyal fans of the 3.0. What can I say, I've got two of them, and have not had a bit of trouble. Plus it runs smoother, and is quiter. It's really just your preference. Both motors will last forever.
