At some point in the next year I'm considering a first-gen 4runner. Any specific year I should be looking for? So far all I want is an as stock as possible 84 or 85 because they have the straight axle. I don't do any hardcore wheeling, and probably never will, I just prefer old fashioned durability and stoutness. Are there any cons of the straight axle vs IFS besides on road driveability? Definitely going for a 22R/RE 5-speed combo. I have no interest in the six. I'd also like to install a rear locker if I do purchase one. Any reccomendations on year, specs and reasonable upgrades are very welcome and valued.
