Are '90-'95 4runner's good for a 4wd suv? They are fairly cheap, but my main concern is that about 60% of the ones I see on craigslist have blown head gaskets with the v6. And they have ifs so are they capable?

2nd gens don't have the longevity of 3rd gens

Pitting and rust on the frame will have killed it by now.

Head gasket issue is easily fixed with headers. He v6 is really stout.
The IFS is a great set up. Unless you want to rock crawl. In which case you want an older 4runner with a solid front axle

What?
how do headers stop a head gasket from failing?

Only in salt country.
I'm wondering the same.

The factory manifolds hold a ton of heat in the heads causing uneven hearing and warping.
Headers get rid of that heat and don't hold it

i have a 1987 with 356000 kms on it and it still running strong enough to haul a small boat or 4x4 thru anything ive thrown at it
it is the 22re 4cyl motor tho. i bought a v6 with a blown headgasket and i did the job with a friend. it ran well for about a year and blew again but i never machined the block so maybe that was it. anyways dont buy a v6 get a 4 cyl

Had a '95 as my first vehicle. It's a tank with an underpowered engine. Best gas mileage was around 14mpg. I wouldn't fuck with a blown head gasket, but nowadays it's going to be difficult to find one that's well-maintained. Service life of mine was cut short when I was hit by an 18 wheeler at 40mph.
