yeah what is the tranny and engine? youll obviously get biased opinions on here being a toyota board, but i think we can safely say that toyotas are much more solid than jeeps. after all, it is a toyota breaking the million mile mark.

I'd go for it and change teh tranny to a manual!!!

Espeacially if your lookin to this things as a fun rig, most deff, 1st gen Runners are fun to play with!!!
