50Runner

Well...I was looking for something non related to this thread but found a really old one (2003!) with this title and got to thinking that since Im selling one of my 2 doors and have only seen one other one on the road my whole life Id try to get a new 2 dor showcase going. So come all all you 2 door people...lets see em!

Ill start off with my 2...gold one has a ton of mods and the red one is only a bj spacer and coils for now.

Maybe Ill start adding random ones I have pics of?

ok whats the story behind the 2dr 2nd gens, i want one, ive never seen one in person,but they look cool as @#$%

Lots of places have told the story, but its pretty simple so Ill run it down quickly. The 2 doors were sold only for one year (1990) because at the time Chevy and Ford had 2 door trucks of their own so the government placed a high import tariff on the Toyota and so made it way too expensive to sell at a profit. Thus Toyota dropped that model and started selling only the 4 door.

Dont know how many were sold but Ive only ever seen one other one on the road, so definitively a lot less than 4 doors.

Hey wabfab...the 3.4 is next on my agenda, starting to have a 3.0 V5. How much are you guys charging for a complete conversion with A/c etc etc? My truck is an auto but Id like to go to a 5 speed with the swap.

Not true. These were made through the year 1992. Although I do not own one, I have always had a liking for them. Here is a 2 door with the upgraded headlights from 1992

Here's mine a '90 v6 5sp w/ a trailmaster lift.
Currently doing an interior rebuild since the sunroof was busted when I got it and it looked like he had the windows open 24/7 with all the dust accumulated on the interior I decided to clean it up since I had it all torn apart. So far the sunroof has been replaced and while I had it out I decided to lay down some dynamat to quiet it down some. I'll probably post this up in a build section soon for as much as I have it torn apart.

I meant that they were only sold in 1990 in the states. Ive seen newer ones elsewhere.

There used to be one over by me, it was sitting for years and was rotting away..It disappeared before I could get my hands on it...

I see one or two every week......

There are a few running around in Canada it seems..

This one is 5/89, so one of the earlier ones, I guess.

Getting a well deserved engine rebuild at the moment!
Stock suspension, but with custom bumpers and no runningboards.

I like how that looks in white! Mine needs a paint job so I'm considering changing the metallic red to white or maybe flat white. We shall see.

awesome picture. calendar candidate!

this is interesting...

the Toyota USA-market sales brochures pictured at toyotareference.com indicate that the 2 door was available only as an SR-5 V6 4x4 in '90 and '91 only.

no mention of 2 door models in the '92 brochure. i wonder what the story is behind yours. does your emissions sticker indicate what country your truck was made for? you may have some really rare item there!

Thanks, that would be awesome!!!!
