4runner or pickup????

Hey guys, im probobly gonna be rambling on for a bit but just bear with me on this theres alot of information included with this conundrum! I have had my white 91 extra cab for about a year now and just recently got a 83 straight axle for and rebuilt it, (its the camo one) I bought my 91 for $2500 at the toyota dealer i work at (im a tech in training), it only had 150k on it and it has every option except for A/C, and i love it, it has absolutely no problems. I also have my chevy pickup which ill never sell because ive had that since i was 14 years old and was box stock when i got it and i did all the work on it so far. So thats that, but i just bought this 87 sr5 runner from another tach at my work for $500 which has 175k on the body with a rebuilt 22re, rebuilt tranny and rebuilt rear third member, it also has every option including a/c cruise, and all the power goodies and the best part is that everything works, the only problem with it is that the reason the guy at my work was selling it was after he did all the work on it he got divorced and his wife got the runner and blew the hg or cracked the head and gave it back to him, im not sure yet cuz i havent torn it apart yet but either way its not a big deal to me, heads are fairly cheap. But the big dillema now is that i can only afford insurance on two vehicles so one of the yota's has to go either way ill make money whichever one i sell but i fell in love with the runner in the 10 miles i drove it home, but i still like the newer feeling and somewhat more reliability of my 91(not much more) but the 4runner is awesome and once fixed reliable too! i also ride dirtbikes so i guess i could use my chevy to haul it around but i dont like to. I dont know what im gonna do, any advise would help! Thanks in advance

It looks identical to this just stock and not quite as clean, but it does have MT/R's on it


this is my 91

and this is the chevy

I really like the way that runner looks And once you get that problem all fixed she'll be a beaut. I would stick with the runner. You could throw the bike in the back of that anyway, just take out the seat and hardtop hehe

love the pickup that 4runner looks a little gross like it has a vintage early 90s look especially with those really tacky rims ditch the rims and remove the body lift that it appears to have and it could be nice.

The pickup looks pretty good. It really depends on what you do most. I have an extended cab pickup, i fit 8 people in the cab 3 nights ago, and had a toolbox and 14 pallets in the bed. Its not comfortable for anybody at that point but it was doable and thats all that mattered.

Seems like the 91 would be a bit more reliable...
