From BKG: I'm not sure if I should be ashamed of you or proud of you... I think I just need a moment.
beautiful looking rig. But I'll be very disappointed if you stop at 285's. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Well, considering it's intended purpose, I think 33s will work just nicely. Remember, I went back to 33s from 35s on my truck. Also, I'm trying avoid single digit mpg numbers. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And I don't really want to regear the thing. That would be mucho buckos.

I don't think I could've justified a Cruiser, but the little 99 Runner I picked up this summer works, esp now that I have an 80# Retriever mutt instead of my little ol' Corgie for a camping partner.
Nice feelin' huh?
Shame I can't get my mitts on your truck; would be EXCELLENT for the roads less travelled up here. I hope you find it a good home. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
Those late model 4Runners are awesome and at Dirty Harry's suggestion, I actually looked at a few and for a short while debated on getting one of those instead. But I settled on the Cruiser because of the cargo carrying ability, room and solid axles. Also, I planned on spending less than #10K. And 1996 and later 4Runners in good shape will reasonable miles were going for a more than that. Of course I went over my initital budget, but not by much.
I think if I were buying an expendition rig that ALSO served as a daily driver, the 1996-2002 4Runner would be at the top of my list.
