Needs to get out more
I am thinking fairly seriously about passing on my wonderful 80 series along and picking up a 4th gen. 4runner to take over exploration and travel duties.
I have 3 options... one keep the 80. It is 'done', and has proven to be ultimately all I will ever need. Currently has 176k on the clock.
Two, find a new owner for the 80 and buy a 4runner. Benefit here is I would have some cash available to build it.
Three, sell my wife's car (she thinks it is too small and unsafe after a recent fender bender, its an 01 IS300) and buy a 4runner for her to drive, and use on exploration/travel trips.
Option 3 puts us back into dual SUV's, which I would prefer to not have.
Thoughts? Constructive Criticism?
EDIT: I have kept my 80, and purchased a 2004 4Runner in the V8 flavor. It has now had an OME suspension lift, sliders, ARB air compressor, and an IBS Battery system is on it's way, and one of these days I will install the ARB front bumper that is sitting in the garage.
FYI:
After about page 10 this thread becomes all about the 100 series vs. ________
