You can feel as if the 4runner is a money pit, the parts alone are not cheap. I do miss sometimes working on American cars for the replacement cost factor alone.
But the attributes outweigh the costs IMHO. This 3rd gen engine is easy to work on, quite reliable for the most part, and most everyone on here is quite aware of the three or four major problems of this generation of 4runner to prevent major headaches. It does everything I need for it to and more. Modding can be expensive to say the least.
The most satisfaction I have is when other drivers stop me at stop lights and ask me if I have had my 4Runner in storage, housed in a garage, or in grandma's basement since it still looks good.
