The economy and reliability of the 2.4 Diesel is awesome. The fuel gauge never moves lol. But it is really slow for every day driving. So I have ordered a turbo manifold. Little bit of boost incoming !2yr ⋅ nylo12 ⋅ r/4Runner_1stGen

Hi, im considering buying this 4 runner, it is a 1988 with the 3.0 V6 with 200k miles, Automatic, Independent Suspension, and the interior is very rough, Do you guys think it would be wise to buy it at 4,000$ to Daily drive?2mo ⋅ TrippyTheJew ⋅ r/4Runner_1stGen

My dad recently picked this up and it had wore out shocks and a sag in the rear. To fix it he installed OME shocks all around and added a leaf in the rear, but ride is now quite harsh. would it be better to swap shocks to Bilstein, or get new rear leaf packs without an added leaf to soften ride?2yr ⋅ Lost-Explorer ⋅ r/4Runner_1stGen

Well I finally got time to see where the leak was coming from. What would you do in this case? Drove the thing down from Utah to phx non stop and around town a few times with no problems. Time for a new transmission? Patch it somehow? Weld it? Trying to gauge my options.11mo ⋅ primofixated ⋅ r/4Runner_1stGen
