Keep the 4Runner or J80?
When I bought my 4runner earlier this year, I was in need of a car that got better than the 8.5 MPG that my 1995 Bronco got. My job started requiring us to go into the office 3 days a week. I am about 20 miles from the office. So, I started looking for a 4Runner. Found one in decent shape, low miles, (120k for a 2004 model). I hadn't done a ton of research before jumping in, so I bought it. In hindsight, I would have waited for a 05 or newer and a 4WD (mine is a 2WD SR5). With that being said, I enjoy it. I changed the headunit, added LED's to the interior, lifted it using a Taco fron suspension, addednew bilsteins and spacer to the rear, new wheels, tires, rear view camera, etc etc. I like the car, its fun, runs great, no complaints. However, I have noticed that J80's have started to come down in price and am thinking of selling my 4R. The only downside is, I would prefer a 96 or newer. The OBD1 on my 95 Bronco leaves a LOT to be desired, so I want OBDII. What are your guys thoughts? Would you trade yours in for a J80? Mine is mostly stock as I haven't done a ton to it.
When the new Landcruisers do come out, I plan on trading in one of my other newer cars to buy one. Probably the Forester.
