    Off-Road Trip in a 2nd Gen

    Thing always seems to do good on gas , about 16-17 around town . I got 20.8mpg on the way home today rolling down the interstate . 4Runner did great as both a highway vehicle and off-road . Brown Mountain OHV was more than I had anticipated , especially trail 8 which was pretty wild for a...

    3rd gen to 2nd gen...downgrade?
