I own 3 4runners.

1) The coveted 85 22RE which is now about 85% restored with a few little upgrades like LC intake and throttle body, 261 EB cam, header, 2.5" exhaust, upgraded disk brakes. In a word "awesome" truck.

2) 1996 Gen3 SR5 3.4L, 5 speed. I've only done the exhaust upgrade so far and bought the truck because I really like my 2000 tacoma SR5 TRD, with e-locker and supercharger. Initial impression is great street ride, but really don't think it can wheel with my 85 or tacoma with the locker. Front suspension has been PIA from the gitgo and PO didn't do anything but go skiing in this rig.

3) 08 Gen4 Sport edition V6 4runner 4x4. This is a street ride only. Probably could do some light wheeling but in my opinion it has way to many stupid safety features built in. And the heating and air will make you insane trying to get them to work the way you want them to. FWIW don't kid yourself if you think the GEN3 can run with this truck on the street. Ain't happening unless you go with a supercharger. If this truck has a bright spot it is the 5 speed auto tranny and 4.0L motor.

Interesting note on all three vehicles is they get about 20 MPG hiway and around 17 in town.

Each of these vehicles have a purpose for me and I like them all. That said if I could only have one it would be the 85. And having to do a few things over again I would have pulled the 22re and upgraded to a 5VZ, added an e-locker and been done with it.

 

We own two 4runners now. A 2005 and a rather abused 90 that we are slowly restoring to former greatness as it has some problems we are still trying to work out.

 

How about, How many have you owned ?
-1st one was an 89, NEVER SHOULD HAVE SOLD IT
-then a 99
-then an 02
-an 86
-a 92 with SAS
-finally a 99 again
-also 2 LCs, and 2 Tacomas

All within the past 5 years, please help I have a problem.

 

^^^^ You and my buddy should hang out....


Nuts.

 

just got my 86 1st gen right now.. kinda work in progress, my plan with it is to be my daily driver and drive nicely on the street but be one of the more capable rigs on the trail or on the sand. hopefully within a few more weeks ill be getting a 3rd or even 4th gen for the soon to be wife.. i like the styling more with the 3rd gen and i know that the 3.4 is a good solid motor.. but i hear that 4.OH is pretty nice also

1986 SR5
2006 Sport Edition

Our driveway is filled with 4runners

1988 is the one you see here at my picture, 2 in lift, 33s, roof rack, sliders, bumper, sway bar removed, not much but it's getting there.

 

We own two... My '98 SR5 and my sister's '99 Limited. Both with the 3.4 and e-locker My dad likes them so much that he is planning on getting a newer 3rd gen in the next few months



We do have a driveway full of Toyotas... My mom has an '08 Highlander Funny considering that growing up we were always a Dodge family. We still love them, but Toyota has been good to us.

 

All my Toyotas
85 4Runner
85 ext cab
87 4Runner
97 4Runner
07 4Runner
08 Tundra
Partridge in a pear tree

 

Owned a 1994 SR5 4WD, then a 1996 SR5 4WD, now a 2002 Limited 4WD

 

Only one but hope to own more. They always say your first child is your favorite!!!

 

One currently, 87 with 22RE, beat to death. Sold my dd 97 2wd last year. Had a 90 4wd that was sold 1-2 years ago. All pretty much stock.

 

My family definitely has a problem.

There are currently 5 4Runners in the driveway, if everyone's home.


L-R:
2002 Sport Edition
2001 Limited
1997 Limited
1996 SR5
1995 SR5

Previously, my parents had a 1994 SR5 and my sister used to have a 1989 SR5. That makes seven, total, since 1996. And I still have to stop and look when I see a 3rd gen for sale. It can get embarrassing when people come to my house. :o

 

DAAAAYYYYYMMMM


We have 1, Might have another one coming soon if i cant find a taco that suits my needs

 

i'm wanting a runner. i want a clean 85 preferably efi sr5 if not i'll convert it. they're rare but ive wanted one for some time now
