I don't know why, but I just like those Toyota 4 Runners. Rugged looking and loads of space. Reliable as well if well maintained .... and yes here comes the question. Is there any chance at all of finding a 20 year old 4 Runner in decent shape in Cambodia? They are all dirt cheap but is this because they are out of fashion or just breaking down all the time.
Anybody out there with experience driving this vehicle around Cambodia?

Oohh. So many questions.
"Well maintained"
No. Not in Cambodia.
"Dirt cheap"
Really! Are you from The Pitcairn Islands?

My first car was a 1987 Mitsubishi Pajero, the old 2 door version. I bought it off Francois the bank robber for $2.5k which also included driving lessons from Danny. Threw it up and down every mountain I could find, fucking loved it, and whenever anything broke fixing it was always cheap and easy.
I sold it a few years later to Chuang2u for roughly the same as what I paid for it, and have regretted it ever since. Best car ever, it will outlive us all (which isn't saying much, but still...). Buy one if you can find one.

I had one for a few years.A 1993 3.0 V6 5 speed four door.Paid $1500 from a frog cop at the embassy.He had taken good care of it.At first I kept looking under it to see if it had a fuel leak.The later 3.4 is better and don't have the head gasket problems that all the 3.O's had.Iám sure they have all been fixed by now.Almost all the Toyota trucks from that time period have frame rust problems. First thing the Khmer looked for when I sold it for $2500
The Surf is the right hand drive version with a turbo diesel.The best combo is the Prado turbo diesel engine swap in the late 90's 4 Runner.

There is one white diesel one with NGO plates that gets around Russian market. It's in great condition . I've asked the barang owners many times if they want to sell it. No such luck.Ron wrote: Is there any chance at all of finding a 20 year old 4 Runner in decent shape in Cambodia?
Rated R for Ricecakes
Anybody here had any experience in converting a 4 Runner or Landcruiser into LPG?
Just be careful.
Older 4 Runners have a terrible history for doing welsh plugs (core plug).
The imports from Japan are the worst for it.. They are the ones with the small mirrors attached to the front fenders.
Get a mechanic to do a pressure test before purchase, IMO.
Good luck!
