'97 tacoma build: Abner

[Kevin B.]

I'm comparing that 4runner to the '99 that I sold a few years back... Similar mileage, auto, 3.4, OME, Highlander Package (e-locker, hood scoop), and it went in the $4k range.

Compared to what I see for sale on t4r.org, 4k is really low for a clean Highlander. I see a fair number of those listed for 7 or 8.

'Course, I'm not keeping track of how many sell for 7 or 8...

Do those newer 4runner's back seats fold down to where you could lay down and sleep back there?

Yes, but if your taller than 6'0" it can get uncomfortable.

 

[sLcREX]

Yeah I am 6'0" exact and my current 4runner folds down just enough that I can lay down comfortably. But I've definitely enjoyed camping out in my 4Runner bed more than a tent. But that might be due to the crappy sleeping bags I've had to use thus far lol

 

[dutchman]

The first time I slept in my 4runner was awful. That might be because I had to share the back with my wife.

Sometimes it's nice being really short...


ok... we've gotten WAAAAY off topic. Probably my fault. This truck isn't sold, so let's keep this info build-thread related. Feel free to start another 4runner camping thread, or "what rig should Steve buy next" thread, or something like that.

 

[dutchman]

Sorry Steve....

 

[sixstringsteve]

no worries. It wasn't you, I started it... I just don't want to muddy this thread up for those who are looking for tech.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!



That is all.

I want that t-case adapter!

 

[sixstringsteve]

you're twice as bad as me.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Goodbye Abner, you were a fantastic vehicle, one of my all-time favorites. Enjoy your new (old) home.

 

[STAG]

Back to who you bought it from?

 

[sixstringsteve]

yup. Back to spork.

 

[TRD270]

Was a sweet little truck. Spork plan to build it back up at all?

Maybe, it will be a slow process if I do, the speed of my changes is no where near Steve's.

 

[STAG]

Did the duals get left on it I assume?

Hope so, it was a fun little truck to watch

 

[sixstringsteve]

yes, the duals went with the truck. Spork has proven that he doesn't need things like lockers and big tires to get through the tough trails.

The Duals are going to be sweet and I noticed the gear ratio was lower than when I had it. Got a few things to button up and it will be good to go. An elocker would be nice but the truck will do a lot without one.

 

[sixstringsteve]

yeah, the 4.10s will be a HUGE improvement over the 3.58s. Have you tried double low yet?
