It'll work.
That's funny to read that, as I was the one who suggested most of it originally, aside from the big T's.
I have found myself in the past year referring esp Runners to the FSM in the early trucks section (22Rx and 3.0) or to the Taco section (2.7 and 3.4) where we have an FSM sticky'd there too. The T100's also shared this engine to some degree, so it depended on the generation and/or mill folks would have trouble with for their posts.
With just acquiring a 99 4R myself, I'm in the Taco section a lot to ask about particular things, or to look at the FSM link.
Izzall good. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />
So where do non-engine related questions go? For people doing engine swaps? For T-100 folks who have 3.0's and 3.4's?
The engine is an attribute of a vehicle... defining the forum based on an attribute, rather than the vehicle itself, especially on an easily and often changed attribute, is going to be ugly.
If someone does a very nice build on an 85 4Runner and it's a well documented and followed thread... it would go in a 22re section, correct? Where does it go when he/she swaps in a 2.7? 3.4? 3.8? 4.0? 4.3? 5.7??? The truck is still an 85 4Runner, but now the thread no longer fits the criteria that you've laid out for where it should go... who moves it?
Basing the forum on the truck, not attributes of the truck, is ultimately what is going to work. Otherwise you'll end up with a mess.
I stand behind Joe's break-down as listed above. Good, healthy organization.
