Ready to buy a Gen 3.. Had a 1985, best 4Runner ever.. Now have a 1990, good ride but V-6 is hard to work on and rust is ready to take over, must sell while I have something to sell..

Two questions on Gen 3.. when did Toyota convert to newer (non #12) Air Conditioner.. and is the type III 4 cylinder as good as the old 22R? Will I have problems with a 4? there are so few of them..

Thanks

According to one source I found, the switch to CFC-free occurred on 2nd Gen 94' s. I am one of the few with the 2.7L and I would compare it favorably to the 22R's I had in my '83 and '86 Toyota pickups. And you can get a supercharger for the 2.7L from TRD or Alpine.

Thanks calg3...
I'm off to look at a 4cyl, 1 owner 1996...

Let's see how the cards fall in this hand (price, condition etc) and see if this is the right deal (don't like the color but $$$ talks here)

Not looking to do major mods to the 2.7, just want a long runner, ok on gas, easier to work on (oil changes on the 22R are exponentialy easier than the 3.0) ...

Thanks again B-R
