Opinions on Direction wanted (Toyota Related)
Alright, here is my current build: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f199...thread-197882/
With lots of updates since then.
I'm in Iraq right now but due back in mid April.
So my question is should I take the 302 I have and put it in the 92 Runner.
Sell all my toy's and buy a new Tacoma - Brand new 4dr 4wd TRD etc.
Buy a new 4Runner
Buy a 06 or newer 4Runner
Buy a used Taco Double Cab
I'm going to have about 12g's to put towards my next vehicle purchase once I sell my Saleen, as it is getting paid off here, if I sell the 92 and the F150 that's the donor vehicle for the 4Runner swap, I'll have about 16 or 17g's to buy or put down on a new one.
What would you guys do and Why? I've owned a 04 4Runner and loved it, but like the 06 or newer with 3rd row and v8 5-speed auto.
If I buy New Taco it's loaded and with 6-speed.
Not 100% why I put the new 4Runner, think i would buy a new FJ cruiser before I bought a new 4Runner but let me know your opinions.
I have 2 kids and am a single dad so need the 4 doors, my girlfriend has a daughter as well so enteratining the 3rd Row 4Runner greatly at this time.

Wow, Thanks guys, I would love that as I've been seeing them for 15-18k in my area and that would be sweet, in no time i would have it paid off, RB body lift on it and a nice Coilover setup in the front with OME's in the back.
It would work out perfect in so many ways. I'm still fighting the 302 in my mind though, ALWAYS wanted it but honestly I do Not Have time right now to tackle that, especially wiht my Capri build. I'm loving the 4Runner with v8 and that newer tranny for towing to the track once the Capri gets to fast for the street, and I honestly have the parts for that in my garage at this time
I expected SAS and engine, but logically it's not really a possiblility right now due to the time constraints. I've SAS some 4Runners in the past, so maybe I can run full widths on the newer larger 4Runner and get a decent performer out of it in the next few years. This is a 10 year minimum auto purchase so want to make the correct decision.
Gallactic Grey or MGM for the win;-) Maybe black as well.
