Wasn't the 1st Gen - 84-89

2nd Gen - 90-95

3rd Gen - 96-02

I own a 2nd gen (94 Sr5) and my wife owns a third gen (98 Limited). The only thing the 3rd gen has over the 2nd is the engine and rear hatch. I think the 2nd gen is the best looking IMO. Ground clearance is better on 2nd over 3rd. Steering system on the older ones also is much beefier.

I know the 2nd Gen 2dr Runners are very rare. Here in SoCal I've only seen probably 4-5.

Anyone on this board have a 2dr 2nd Gen?
I've got a 3rd gen, but my neighbor has a 2-dr 2nd gen. He's from Canada eh.

2nd gen 2dr

Ken, I would like to see a pic if you have one of your 2dr 2nd gen. I cannot ever remember seeing one in my lifetime and my buddy told me they look like Pathfinders. Is that true? If you have a pic I wanna see it.

Mine open all the way, maybe yours are hanging on the speaker wire or something.
