What year did the 4Runners get 4doors?

Post by smac »

Hiya,

just lookin through the tradingpost and there are a couple of 4Runners for sale at a decent price which has sparked my interest.

Im wondering what year did they get the 4 Doors?

What are the motors like on the 80s early 90s models like? (i would love a diesel)

Also, are all the Hilux wagons called 4Runners?

thanks,
Shem

oh yeah, besides the surfs :D

How thirsty are the 3.0V6 motors?

Did any of the 4doors have Solid front axle? or are all the 4door wagons IFS??

But remember... IFS is great for cruising between Sydney and Adelaide mate ! (worked for me)

SAS conversion will cost you way too much. Let me know when you're up for a cruise - wouldn't mind you transporting a cargo barrier for me too. ;)

:cool: cheers, sam.
