1986 Toyota 4Runner

i purchased a 1986 4runner from a private party (granted it was private, but was the original owner with documentation). The seller had all the documentation and service reports included. I bought it due to owning a Hi-Lux of the same year. The driveline was very sturdy. It was able to handle pretty much whatever we threw at it. Unfortunately in my case, once in a while there is an engine (no matter the maker) that hsa flaws. It was not exactly on the top of my mind as to why the rings had to be changed 6 times in nine months. It was indeed a fun truck, but was more of a family type vehicle. It drove and handled like a car. Unfortunately, the rear (due to the fiberglass top) was heavy and got a little happy in loose gravel. Performance was moderate for a truck. The gearing was more than adequate for a car. I would recommend this vehicle for the average driver looking for a decent fuel economic family SUV. As for the off-highway enthusiast, this vehicle could be capable with some upgrades.
