    This 1990 base 4x4 model has the 3.slow/4-speed automatic slushbox. It has A/C (not working), tilt wheel, full gauge cluster with tach, intermittent wipers, factory cassette player, and no other options! It was recently purchased by a Toyota tech who works at the local Toyota dealer and has serviced my Tacoma before. This T4R has some rust and needs some new parts, but it's running and driving, and the owner and his friend were towing a small boat and about to go fishing...

    Also, if anyone would like to post pictures of their own 2nd Gens or 2nd Gens they see, that would be great. T4Rs older than 3rd Gen seem to be thoroughly underrepresented here!

    You guys- today I got to see a 1995 4runner, 35k miles, original owner. Absolutely mint condition inside and out. I was blown away. Looked like it just came off the showroom floor.

    Nope. He had it in for an oil change. He’s not interested in selling.

    @Fourtoad

    I decided to go into Doylestown in attempt to do Doordash, and I was actually driving to a local restaurant when I saw the rig below parked in front of a local German car garage. I had to stop to get pictures, ended up meeting the owner, and ultimately cancelled my Dash so I could chat with him!

    This T4R has 196K miles on the body and it apparently needs frame work due to rust, but it is otherwise in good shape and fully functional; It has been converted to OBII to accommodate the Taco engine. The A/C has been converted to R134a and blows ICE COLD; Everything except the cruise control works!
