Ugh i just typed so much but waited too long so it didn't send ....
Here's the short version.
Option 1.
Sell the Camaro and buy a truck.
Probably my best option since it will give me a reliable vehicle to use as a DD while the truck is undergoing surgery i.e. 1UZ-FE swap/SAS
Option 2.
Sell the Camaro and buy another sports car.
I love having a sporty car but it's not really practical since we get winter up here. lol It would only be used half the year. Although i LOVE the Porsche 944.
Option 3.
Sell the Camaro buy an ATV and spend the rest on the 4Runner.
Although this is a good option, i'm not sure how often i'd actually get to use the ATV.
Option 4.
Sell the Camaro and use all the money for the 4Runner.
Although this may seem like the best option its not. If i do this, that means i only have 1 vehicle so if i do any big mods to the 4Runner i.e. engine swap/SAS that means i'm out of a vehicle for a while which simply can't happen.
So, it seems like option 1 is the best option, now it comes down to what kind of truck i want, either a first gen Tundra (if i can find one cheap enough), a T-100 (if i can find a clean one), an 89-95 pickup (if i can find one with a 22re and 5spd and no rust) or a 79-88 pickup (if i can find one with either a 20r, 22r or 22re engine with 5spd and no rust).

Good question. I'd like to get my 4.56 gears in, but that probably won't happen for a little while. Other than that, i've been looking at some fender flares, i really like the way they look. And i've also been saving up for a 1UZ-FE. I'm trying to sell my Trail Gear bumper that my mom accidentally ordered for an 84-88 pickup instead of my 4Runner and i'm working on my design for a custom front bumper.
