>>2790963I got a 3rd gen 4runner for $2200. I did some routine maintenance on it (cost less than $200 in parts), runs great and is 4x4. I have yet to take it out into the wilderness but she is running very reliably on road.
With how little I have into it I am not going to be afraid to use it. 390k miles.
Before I go far out I will look at what spare parts will be recommended to with me to prevent me getting stranded.
