Truck or Four runner?
« on: Apr 25, 2006, 08:27:01 PM »
Alright my mind is tired of reading about four runners and trucks! Can you take the shell of a 1983-1989 fourrunner? And what would get better gas milage?

All 1st gen 4Runner's have removable tops, and from 2nd gen on up are all hard tops. Not much difference in gas mileage in trucks or 4Runner's.
