Miss my '98 4x4

My previous truck before I bought an '03. Only had 93k miles on it and was in excellent condition. Practically gave it away but needed the $$.

 

What do you miss about the ‘98 that makes it different from the ‘03?

 

Mainly the 4x4...and the 2.7. My '03 is 2wd. Pretty happy with my '03.

 

A friend had his 1990 reg cab V6 4X4 totalled, he literally cried

 

I feel your pain. My 99 V6 Reg cab as of Dec 3rd. Going to miss this one.

 

U make it out alright?

 

A 3.4l v6 regular cab 4x4 with an e-locker? That's like the unicorn of all unicorns. Did you add the locker yourself?

Sorry to see it go

 

Daughter-in-law, (she’s OK) found the only black ice on I-15. Might buy it back and start over.

 

Your ‘03 a PreRunner?

You can convert it to 4x4 like I did.

 

NOOOO. I'm glad your daughter in law is ok but that was definitely are rare taco. Do buy back and take your time building it up again.

 

No, just a regular 2wd.

 

Yep, swapped in the V6 and auto trans locker etc. All from a rolled 4Runner. Must be time to start a new project.

 

If you can fix her back up.

 

I would miss mine if I no longer had it. Hence why she will never leave my grasp! bwahahaaah nice single cab 98 you had though!

 

Do you mean it originally had a 4-cyl in it? If so, how much was involved in swapping the engine?

 

Yep, 4 cyl that didn’t run, wiring was butchered too. I removed the cab, scavenged the 4Runner motor mounts welded them about 3/4” back from the 4cyl mounts. Dropped in the whole 4Runner drive train including the wiring. Reinstalled the cab, then started on the interior.
