Good price on clean 1st gen?

Yeah this too. I don't think I would even buy my own truck from myself lmao!

 

Yea this is true. So I think I want to start with a clean build. I found a CLEAN 1994 4runner with a popped motor, I am having to try really hard to ignore....... but it's begging for a 3.4 swap and a long travel tc kit Lol

Now that’s a good deal on a clean 4runner.

 

Nice but it's auto

 

lol they’re almost all auto - better to just swap and save on the manual tax. It would be at least $9-10k for the same but manual.

 

True. Tacomas I've found quite a few manual though. 1994 4runner I found was 1200, and manual. Guess I thought too long about it though bc it sold already lol

 

It was way more common for people to buy a manual Tacoma then a 4runner. One of my buddies had a manual 3rd gen 4runner. It was super cool, well built, and *only* had 360k miles. He sold it for $16k a couple years ago.

 

Yeah t4r’s we’re the luxury / fam vans back then

 

I'd prefer the tacoma anyway but I am open to 4runners if it's the right truck. My family had a 1995 new back in the day.

 

I'd go with a 4runner for anyone more than 2 people unless you've got one or two small small kids. A pickup is ideal if you're only 1-2 and like using the bed. Having a pickup makes things a lot easier often.

 

Yea I have kids that are grown and no matter what I drive my wife never wants to take my truck lol so it's pretty much me and the doggos

get this

 

I saw that one , can't remember what I had against it

 

It’s an auto for one

id rock it if I had 15k laying around

 

That may have been what it was. Plus whatever I get will become my daily as well so I want it to be decently clean

 

Aaah I wouldn’t daily a sasd Tacoma


Honestly I’d consider an early Gen 2, but after 05/06.

will ride better, more aftermarket support, and parts aren’t going anywhere

 

Yea I really want a 1st gen. I've always wanted one and I just like them the best.

 

I also like that 1st gen parts and aftermarket are cheaper

 

Depends a lot. You start getting to that age and the right vehicle means all the olds stuff's been replaced so it's good for another long-ass while. Look for someone with a huge notebook full of receipts.
