And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
We had that same truck in the Extra Cab version. Great 4x4. Best engine Toyota ever built. Used to have mechanics wanting to buy it when we'd take it in for service.
sold my 89 4runner inside of 2 days. guy drove across 2 states to get it. he already had a 88 or 87 4runner and was going to rebuild it for his kid until he drove it and said I am keeping this one and the kid can have my old one ! I rebuilt that engine 9 years ago, 040 over pistons, better cam shaft and stronger clutch. yes, a 22re engine, 5 speed. locking hubs. it was a great little truck. NEVER got stuck anywhere in it. and drove that snow storm back in the 1990's where it was 3 feet dumped on us. K&N air cleaner and free flow stainless pipes, upgraded springs to round it out. used to hold 80 mph on the highway with ease.
I'd love to know how many miles your rig had on it when you rebuilt the engine nine years ago, and how many miles you put on since, before you sold it. In other words, total mileage on that great, dependable little engine under your ownership.

ReplyDeleteA 22R engine, a five speed and locking hubs. Three things that should never have gone away.
