As an owner of a '97 dark green 4Runner, I have to commend you for adding one to the list.

There are none on my local Craigslist. Damn.

Yeah. Manuals are kinda hard to come by at this price range.

I was very torn about this but, hey what the hell. There's nothing that fits the criteria that I'd rather have. Plus, we all know about Toyota trucks of this era by now. They're flipping awesome.

Yes. There is also this Supra. Which is better than the Celica Supra IMHO.

If it has a transmission kickdown cable like other vehicles with that transmission (My 4Runner lol), then it may be out of adjustment or broken.

Yeah you could grind the calipers, but I was planning on painting them and making them look nice lol.

Yeah I've heard of people doing that (on t4r.org mainly) but I don't have a grinder and I've always had an aversion to grinding on wheels due to the possibility of throwing them out of balance.

Yeah, no kidding. I plan on doing that as soon as I can afford new wheels. The stock wheels on the '96-98 SR5 wont clear the tundra calipers.

Bet he was still glad he was driving a 4Runner so he could go in the median without high centering. (optimist 4runner owner here trying to excuse the 4R's poor stock brakes...)

Many mechanical parts would carry over I should think. I just noticed that it doesnt have the engine or transmission though so it's likely not worth it.

Nice, that would probably come in handy.

7/10. *shrugs*

Nissan Pathfinder comes to mind, probably not the most drastic example though.

Doesnt matter. 22R-Es are a dime a dozen and they can last well over 400k if taken care of.

My dad had a 1991 4WD with the Xtracab and smoker windows. I wish he'd never sold it.

Pfft. It's only halfway to a rebuild.

1986 Toyota Xtra Cab 4WD.

Looks great. They haven't car-ified it like Chevy did the Colorado. Still looks like it could do some serious off-roading in TRD trims.
