Hello everyone,
Back on the forum after over a year.
Little history.
Formerly owned medium build 2002 Tacoma, a small lift 2004 V8 Sr5 which was recently sold for a nice new VW Jetta GLI.
I Love my Jetta, but now that it is very low with very wide wheels+summer tires it gets impractical in the winter (live in Canada) and Summer with my love of the outdoors and camping.
This is where the great 2nd gen runner comes into play.
What I want.
I would love a 2nd car (SUV) that i can take camping, out in the salt/snow and have no worries about the paint getting destroyed.
I have a limited budget because well, I also have a work truck (supplied by employeer) and my need for a runner is only for the times I want to get away or in the winter.
I don't feel like spending a pile of money on a truck that will be driven part time ~3-4 months a year.
I am just looking for input to see if it will be worth it.
Now the real info.
I am looking specifically for a 1990-1995 T4r 4x4. I would prefer the 5speed 22RE models.
I could use more input on the 3.slo V6 5speed. It seems to have a love/hate following.
The truck needs to be reliable and reasonably fuel efficient.
My plans for trucks with rusty 1/4 panels is to remove the bad rust, POR15 the rest, then add jungleflares to hide the cancer.
Any truck will also recieve 31" tires (no regear).
22RE trucks will get a new HG, crawlr cam, header and intake.
I have set my price at $2000 for the vehicle itself.
So far I have talked to 4 people with cars that fit my criteria up for sale.
