Old 4runners aka "the legacy"
I couldn't find any picture threads for older 4runners and I want to show everyone the 4runner I bought for $400 bucks. I'm proud of the 400runner.
I know that there are alot of 1st and 2nd Gen 4runners out there that have seen better days. There's alot of older 4runners out there that could eat the new ones alive too! Down with plastic bumpers! Up with rusty steel bumpers! I'm talking about function over form here!
If your 4runner could drive over most newer 4runners without looking back then post your picture here!
If your not ashamed of rust holes than post your pictures here!
If you got a smoking deal on a beat up 4runner than post your picture here!
If you can't see your reflection in the paint job than post your picture here!

actually the 2nd gen isnt much, if at all, less plasticy or whatever than the 3rd gen.
the 3rd gen is just an upgraded 2nd gen overall.
so here is my mall crawler

3rd gens also seem to withstand the rust quotient much better too but I still love the oldies too.
Yotatech has a nice collection of the 2nd gen beaters along with some pristine examples too.

Big bad blue where are you?
I asked Big Bad Blue to post a picture.
Also, I'm biased when it comes to steel because I work for one of the major steel making companies here in Canada.

I get a real kick out of that snorkel. It makes me smile just thinking about it.
Alright, I'm going on a mission on my lunch break. Someone told me there's an old beat up 1st Gen for sale for $1000 at a used car dealer and I'm going to try and get a shot of it for this thread.

I'm start a fund
If anyone wants to make donations I'll liberate this old 4runner.
I promise to bathe it in mud once a week and I'll even put air in the tire.
In case you can't read the side window it says "Runs Great"
It makes me think of those classified ads that say "needs some TLC"

I know it isn't a 4 Runner, but an '83 SR5 that refused to get stuck. I would give anything to have this one back......
