4Runner is officaly dead.

My 4Runner blew its head gasket. I didn't have time to fix it so I let it go for $1300.00 after doing a little damage to it myself with hammers shovels whatever lol. Picked up a new off-road toy as you can see below (Bronco). I'll miss the forum and all the help it provided. I have a few things listed for sale if you’re looking for a Fender lining, Dash mat, or Owner's Manual and Repair guide.






351W V8 6 Inch Suspension Lift 35 Inch Tires.

That really sucks dude. I bet that was a sad and angry moment.

Best of luck with your Bronco and hopefully you will be back on here with another Toyota sometime.

Looks like your monthly gas expenses are going to sky rocket just as gas prices are also sky rocketing. Sounds like you got a pretty decent payoff for it though. I bought mine in running condition for only $300 more.

Toyota to Ford? usually it's the other way around

I only hope you can love the Ford like a Toy; she looks good!


going from the 3.0 to a 351, get ready to see the gas pump more often, and spend more there too

That sucks! I like the bronco, I was THIIIIS close to buying a 96 Black on black sport edition, before I got my yota.

Make sure you have had that brake leak recall done (if its effected)

p.s, no 351 is gonna get 21mpg like my v6 does

Haha Luckly my DD gets 29 MPGs . I wish my runner was pulling those numbers. I was getting 13MPG Winter 15-17MPG Summer. So far I love the 351 so much more power then the 3.0. 30 gallon tank hurt me a bit to fill up ($75.00!) I've heard MPGs is about the same as what I was getting out of the Runner but I doubt it Thanks I'll check on the brake recall!
