I think there's an important distinction between having your car insured and having insurance that covers shit you do. If its your fault, and people get hurt, or it's an uninsured driver, things can get out of hand real fast when it comes to money.
As far as insuring his vehicle, saving is a good idea in general. But let's be real, if you total your car and have been putting 50 bucks for 5months in a savings account making a 10th of a percent of interest, you're stuck with a ****ed up car and 250bucks.

Figure out how much you feel like you can afford to pay as a monthly insurance bill, and then instead of lining some *******'s pocket with it, insure it yourself. Put it in the bank, in it's own account. Once you've got enough in that account to cover the loss of the 4Runner, you can stop paying that insurance bill but stay insured for as long as that money sits there (making you interest, by the way). No insurance company is going to give you that deal.
