I had a 94 4Runner 4x4 with a 3slow as my first Toyota. Thing was sweet even though it was IFS. I went camping one year with my best friend who had a 96' Blazer. We had a pretty simple but steep hill climb by our camp. He tried to climb it about 6 times in the Blazer. Every time he would dig in the back tires and lose traction and fail to climb it. Thing looked like a friggin tank every time it tried to climb the hill. I told him to get in my 4Runner. Put it in 4 Lo and climbed it not once, not twice, but 5 times. Up and down. He was soooooooo pissed. Truck ran great until the headgasket went and warped the head. Then I got into 4 cylinder turbo cars. But now I am on my second Toyota and these 22RE motors seem to last forever. I love my truck and will never part with it if I have anything to do with it.
