Wow... I wish I had an ego as big as yours!

What are you talking about.....It's a pretty good shape for being a 1990 4runner...wait..ur in CA..

You're not used to seeing these runners from the RUST-BELT of the US. My bad.

Come to IA. This runner is pretty good actually compared to a lot of the old runners and trucks around here.

jct

tru that Ca. never sees rain, snow salt they see fire and earthquakes only

He fails for trying to hate on the fail box.

hotbox05

no ego , just observations and opinion

hotbox05

i guess , my 92 4runner was def showing it's age in faded paint and peelin clear coat in some spots and it lived it's life in tahoe , no rust . do you guys use salt on the roads or silica sand ?


i feel bad for all cars if they get eaten up that bad in less than 20 years . makes me sad . i'd be afraid to own a newer car in the thought that it'll have cancer in less than 20 years . guess tis the price to pay living in the midwest ?

hotbox05

it snows in cali , we just use silica sand instead of salt .


and oh it rains in ca , it rains a lot , not so much in so cal but norcal gets TONS of rain

hotbox05

don't know what the fail box is , but there's something that's fail around here

hotbox05

here was my 92 4runner











it got HORRIBLE gas mileage but i liked it .

bought it for 700 , put about 10 hours work into the paint and brakes , and about 300 in parts and sold it for 2250 so I was happy .

sorry if i'm coming across as a jerk or what have you .


take care . and if you can FIX that rust !

oh and the front bumpers only cost like 150 for all the parts off ebay

HATEnFATE

Ohh here in the midwest we've above salt(not totally. still use it once the snow and ice are down). We've moved up to car eating Salt Brine solutions that get into EVERY crevice and pit that it can find. Our car's slowly get eaten away......well, quickly when the brine is out.

It's the price you pay for lowered costs of living. My house, buildings, and land where you live would easily take a few milion to purchase if it were in CA.

hotbox05

yeah i know . i couldn;t do it cheaper or not , that and less income .

but yeah salted and brined roads sounds bad .

use liberal rubber undercoating everywhere ? sure it'll slow you down with the weight but if it'll keep a car alive longer ??/

$700 here too, brand new front glass, rebuilt engine 15K miles ago, new clutch, rebuilt trans, and transfer case. Im not worried about the body, because I am going to use this as a trail truck so if I ding it I ding it, I beat the front end up when I was out at the farm a couple weeks ago wheelin, so no love lost there

HATEnFATE

I'll give you 200 bucks for it.....in a few months. LoL

How about no

Thats a nice 4runner, definatly don't see many in that shape around the mid west anymore. Kinda reminds me of my truck...

hotbox05

i'd really love to find a 2nd gen 4runner 2 door with 22re . but those are a VERY VERY rare beast

Im done with the 22re, everyone I know had a reliable one, but I went through 5 of them through 3 trucks. If I ever get another pickup/4runner I'm going to put some ***** in it. Great thing about the midwest, no smog emissions. lol *poke*

RedneckwithanxB

I want me a 1UZ for my runner! And someday, I just might get it!

hotbox05

1uz is an easy swap but a weak motor , only 190hp..... yeah there's some potential and good torque but eh...


2jz !!! or even a lame 7mgte or 7mge
