Funny, cuz I saw plenty two door Path Finders from that era.The 2-door models had a higher tariff than the 4-door models. That's what limited their numbers. I really liked the 2-door version.
Might see me. There is some cool tools in that auction.
Lot's of cool stuff here and in DC no less. Inspection is February 25th. I'll probably go check it out.

Japanese manufacturers initially found they could export "chassis cab" configurations (which included the entire light truck, less the cargo box or truck bed) with only a 4% tariff. A truck bed would subsequently be attached to the chassis in the United States and the vehicle could be sold as a light truck. The U.S. Customs Service changed vehicle classifications in 1989, automatically relegating two-door SUVs to light-truck status. Toyota Motor Corp., Nissan Motor Co., Suzuki (through a joint venture with GM), and Honda Motor Co. eventually built assembly plants in the U.S. and Canada in response to the tariff.
I wonder if the 2 door 4runners came in manual? Same wheelbase as 4 doors?
Everyday is a school day!Actually, the 2-door Pathfinder was '89 and earlier - same as the first gen 4Runner. In 1990, they went to the 4-door Pathfinder too.
From the internet:
So, up to 1989 the 4Runner, Pathfinder, and such were not subject to the tariff - hence the 2-door models. After that, they went to 4-door models rather than pay the tariff of a 2-door model.
I'm interested in what that car is next to the 40.
It looks to me like a kit car with gull wings. Can't ID it.
