I sold my 87 P/U to my son. So now i'm going to replace it.
My wife would like to get a Jeep wrangler <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />. I'm thinking about a 90-96 Toyota 4x4 P/U with a V-6 eng. What should I watch out for? I seem to remember something about bad V-6 engines.
Thanks in advance <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

With the V6 you need to watch out for headgasket failures. If you are seriously looking at one, take the vin# to the dealer and get them to see if the recall has been done. You could always get a 1st gen 4runner too, yota reliablilty with a jheep like removable top <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
