old school 4 runner//trail rig / 1986 version

[Elbert]

thinking about maybe looking at an old school 4runner for a trail truck...nothing real hardcore but want to stay with stock engine and drivetrain where it makes sense.

Should I stick with manual transmission version? What I do want is solid front axle, and fuel injection....anyway I assume the 4runner is a decent platfrom to build from? Do they share the same drive train with the tacoma or ..are they unique?

Well I guess I should post in the other area for the older vehicles...I'll do that.

Appreciate any feedback.

Good luck!


For what it's worth, the only 4Runners of that year were 22R/RE/RTE, and that's a great motor, but gutless beyond all reason coupled to an automatic.
