I love 4 runners. Every generation. I think it will be my next vehicle, if my Tundra ever goes tits up. It's still going strong as ever, though... love this thing.
  My last truck. Never should have sold this thing... I regret it often. It was damn bulletproof.  |

Just bought this 06 for $10k. It's only got 65k miles so I think I got a pretty good deal. 4cyl, 4x4, regular cab, and 6' bed. I'm not sure what I'm going to do to it yet but it definitely needs some tires. I'm considering a small lift and some 285/75-16 tires. Other than that no plans for now. Can't wait to pick it up on Thursday.

These, in my opinion, are the best looking Tacomas ever. I wanted one back in high school. Never did get it, though. And, yes, I know that they weren't called "Tacomas" back then.

08 Tacoma at the range and then on the way back from the range. No real mods...just Billstein 5100s all around...add a leaf in the back and 1.75" shock adjustment in the front.

I love Toyotas.
The current one is the wife's... During a Grand Canyon trip, got 21-22 mpg for the trip through the mountains of Colorado, Utah, Arizona and NM. I had some dirt road 4wheeling pics, but they were lost.

It does have a couple of drawbacks. The blind spots are what everyone talks about, but these are easy to overcome. The windshield is almost vertical and prone to breakage. The windshield also catches bugs like nothing else I've ever driven. On the plus side, it's very roomy, plenty of storage, plenty of power, and goes off road like a mountain goat. I only got rid of mine because of the gas mileage. (17-19) I started doing a lot of driving for my job and the FJC was killing me at the gas pump. |

It was weak and low on hp, but it was enough as long as you weren't towing or hauling much. I mostly used it for hauling dirtbikes and towing a freestyle moto ramp. The ramp was probably about 1000lbs, so with that and a couple dirtbikes in the back, you could definitely feel it on the highway or going up hills. But.. can't expect much out of a mini-midsize truck!

It's no hot rod, but it gets the job done, even with the 33" tires that it turns over. I've even hitched my tractor to it. It struggled, but damnit, I got the tractor where I was trying to go. |

 I just picked this up about a week ago, I wanted a Land Cruiser, because my Ranger supercab just wasn't cutting it for moving the wife and two eighty pound dogs anywhere farther than 5 miles without everyone becoming ill tempered. So I sold the Ranger and bought this. '95 Land Cruiser Slee offroad lift 2.5" (heavy front and rear springs) Slee offroad sliders Slee offroad dual battery kit Slee offroad front head light kit Slee offroad castor correction ARB front bumper with X9 superwinch Soltek HID's Snorkel 33" BFG Muds ARB roof rack with mesh lining Custom rear bumper with swinging tire mount(not sure if it was a custom fab job, or a kit) Factory front and rear lockers The paint is in rough shape, but it doesn't really matter because I'd screw it up if it was nice anyway. I'd like to add a fuel can rack, and eventually an auxiliary fuel tank. It was owned by Mud member re_guderian before the owner I bought it from. |
