22RE....I am hoping for you.

 

[Bodean]

Damn that thing is clean!

22RE....I am hoping for you.

??? Are you saying 22re bad?

It was so clean I couldn't pass on it. Regardless of motor.

 

[Bomar]

No 22R is one of the best motors I my opinion ever built... I put one through hell and it lived and lived and lived.

I never had one with FI.

I was just hoping not a 3.0....which is not that bad just the 22RE is better.

GREAT FIND...

 

[Bossman]

No. You WANT the 22RE. It is a great little motor. It could also have a 3.0v6 which is an OK motor but not the dependable little motor the 22re is.

 

[MEMCruiser]

Well I'll be driving it to memphi, I'll take you to lunch in it one day.

Got tired of about killing yourself on I40 in the Civic? That road is not one to travel in a small car.

 

[MEMCruiser]

I need multi-purpose vehicle, especially after getting a 80 lb german shepherd. Civic was not cutting it but it was nice on the highway. I was looking for maybe a ford escape, RAV4 or something like that but then this popped up.

When I first saw it I thought, WOW cleanest 4runner I have seen in years, No way its for sale. Then I saw the tiny 4sale sign and started hyperventilating because I had to leave for work the next morning at 4 am.

Called and set up appt at 11. At 1050 owner called and said it is sold. I had to pay more than asking. ouch.

 

[Bomar]

Well it will be worth it...it will be a great truck for Jack (poops on rocks) for when he starts driving.

Nice score Mike! That Thing is clean!

 

[lenross1]

great pick up!

 

[77TLCFJ40]

I think that's the nicest, cleanest early runner I've ever seen. Great find!

 

[MEMCruiser]

Thanks guys that thing is so clean. I almost pooped in my pants when I saw the 4sale sign.

How much is a 22RE motor worth? Found a spare on CL.

[Fireman]

So is it a 3.0 or 22re? If you can pick IP that motor for $400 or less then I would call it a decent deal.

 

[MEMCruiser]

Mine has a 22re and the CL ad is a 22re.

 

[Bomar]

Mike unless you do something drastic...no need to buy another motor.

I know. I've always wanted to rebuild a motor. Was just thinking.

Will these fit an 88 4runner?

 

[Bomar]

Yes but a little high for the condition. Any Toyota 6 lug wheels will fit your truck...

Get the proper wheels for that year. Old school. Best look. Proper back spacing
