What to do with two 2nd Gen 4runners?
Hey folks.
I have a quandry and can't decide what to do. I have a 95 4runner (auto/4x) fairly ghetto inside, not running (not sure why yet) and always sux'd shifting hi gear; and a 94 (5spd/4x) with really nice interior (plus sun roof). Trying to figure most sane (ok, really $$-wise as will soon loose job) method of combining. 94 has mucho rust, and crushed left side (fr 2 bk). 95 also sagging rear springs.
Thinking maybe just put 94 motor into 95, sell product and be done, and ready to play again later. May be able to find another rust free speciman l8r, right?
TIA

If you want to get really into it you can make the best combination of the two (best body and frame gets running engine + 5 speed) and sell all your spare parts after that.
You could come out with a decent amount of cash given enough time and effort.
EDIT: and a running truck haha
