If they insisted I'd insist right back. But fortunately, they don't really care if I die in a mangled mess of metal. For my part, I drive slowly with an ARB bumper up front.

Sorry for your problems. Must have been an nice truck. Darn, I'd like to see it!:sombrero:

Mud? Yuck. Maybe check out the big Land Cruiser website, where they "H8" mud. :) Are you sure it won't go where you want without any help? I'd keep it, call it good with some sliders and a locking differential if you're itching for some changes.

MPG figures from internet such as Toyota.com are pretty accurate, IMO.

Well, they may think they need to. That, and they like the macho stance :sombrero:

Fixed it, and agree. :)

Great post. Thanks for the info. Resale around here doesn't seem unreasonable, with 2007 less than 100K miles to be had for 15K or so. The rig that people really think they've got a gold mine with is the Taco. :rolleyes:

Dunno what going rate for head gasket job is in your area, but it ain't cheap, that's for sure. The thing is about the FZJ80 is that most of them are way over priced to start with these days, with high miles, and mostly without head gasket done. So, I don't see it as a very good value unless...

That's important to me, and one of the reasons I sold my 2001 4runner this past summer. 1st and 2nd gens have more head room for tall guys. They also look better and have more charm, even though they lose to 3rd gen in every performance category. FJ has a lot of charisma too, although I...

I think the manual FJ is full time, while the Auto is part time. Why 2WD for every day? Probably doesn't make much difference these days, MPG wise. I'm partial to wagons and have owned 1st through 3rd generation 4Runners. Hard to beat them for utilitarian function, dependability and...

I think it sounds like a good deal. Extra bonus for having cloth seats rather than crappy leather. Good luck!

Stick or auto? I'd forget the 33's and run with 31's, but to each his own.:)

Holy reversal at the last moment, Batman! Title lead me to suspect that no one would buy it, which would be surprising. Unless of course you listed it for an exorbitant price, which actually I notice most people are doing these days with this model. May the red beast growl on!

You may be right. I'd save your money and buy the "cheap" Michelins. Or maybe, something even cheaper. :)

How would it do that? Gravity? Sounds like a good solution for OP, if it worked as planned.

Good luck with that one. Unless the wench is really hot, I'd pass. A jacked up, armored LC 60 with its dipsomaniac 2F as a DD- what, you got stock in Exxon? It does have some nice features, for sure, like that rear ARB bumper. But, probably a lot of body rust lurking under the ugly...

Older? LOL. Those are newer in my book. Answer to your question is clearly the 8, as it has more power and better MPG. Drive both and see what you think. They're both great trucks. 100 series impresses me as the best vehicle I've ever driven. Would I own one? Nah, my pockets aren't deep...

Well said. However, I think the newest 4Runner is better looking than the 200, and 2nd generation 4Runner is a winner in the appearance category compared to the 80 series. Also, a 1990 4runner is plenty comfortable for my aged body, so any advantage that a 21st century Land Cruiser has in this...

Is that the Toyota diesel engine with the horrible reputation? The truck would still be way overpriced if it had the well regarded 22RE 2.4
