Newbie Advise before purchase
Hi Everyone - newbie here.
I was hoping to get some Gen1 advise prior to making purchase.
I have always owned Tacos, mostly pickups, a couple of cruisers and one 4Runner years ago. I currently drive a mint (in my opinion) Base '93 Ext Cab 4x4, wife drives a 2011 Camry SE. Definitely loyal to the brand!
I have been considering another Toyota purchase such as an FJ80 or 2nd gen 4runner as a hauler for the kids (I have one in a booster and one almost ready for the booster). The back of the truck leaves a bit to be desired to get kids in and out.
My question is for you guys with kids and and a 1st gen. I have found a really nice 1st gen nearby, low miles and looks awesome. How many of you use the 1st gen as a kid hauler and DD? How convenient\inconvenient do you find it? Pros & cons? What about availability of parts? The 4runner I am looking at is an '88!
Thanks for any advice.
