1995 Toyota 4Runner 4X4 Project - Classic 22RE Engine!

This 1995 4Runner has been a reliable part of our family for 17 years and is a perfect foundation for its next life as a workhorse or overland rig. It runs the tough-as-nails 22R-E (4-Cylinder), but it needs an experienced mechanic's touch to get it back on the road.

🚨 The Core Issue

• Needs Head Gasket Replacement. The vehicle overheated, and a new head gasket is required. The engine is currently running but quickly overheats.

• DIY Mechanic: If you handle the work, the cost for head gasket parts is estimated to be only ~$400. Once the head is addressed, you have a solid, reliable Toyota engine ready for years of use.
