I've commented here for a while and decided to do my first post. Here is my '95 4Runner. It makes a whopping 150 HP at a laughable 4800RPM, making the 0-60 with the anti-Jalop auto, 16 seconds. Top speed, not high. But I love it. As Chris Harris says about the 2CV, just not taking it seriously makes it fun. Besides, it's more fun off road anyway.

I love mine. It's taken me anywhere I've ever needed it, except for once. It's also fun to taunt buried bro-trucks with.

You'll be sorrrrry.....This is a land where things are not as they seem and before you realize there is no escape, you are trapped ...This, my friends, is the OPPO ZONE.

Welcome.

I'd honestly thought my car held that particular title... But, 16 seconds and an auto? You have almost triple my car's horsepower, but by God, I think I'm faster.

...

I'm actually kind of annoyed now.

Thanks! It's definitely a fun toy and has seen plenty of playtime! Not as much since I've moved back to Florida, but I still like to tear up a dirt road on occasion.

this is not a completely accurate standing start, I had to turn onto the highway entrance which was down hill.

I'll race you. In my '92 LandCruiser. And I will lose.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > KirkyV
05/06/2014 at 22:27

That power that is never made due to gearing, 33" tires, a transmission designed by Satan himself, and weighing 3900 lbs., make merging on the interstate a game.

I bet my land cruiser is slower. I've welded well north of 500 lbs of body armor on mine. Lightness is overrated anyway. Glad to have another 4x4 enthusiast on oppo!

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > No Prius Needed
05/06/2014 at 22:28

The only thing I've ever experienced nearly as slow was my friend's F-250 IDI, but it was still faster.

Nice 80, jealous of the future Cummins swap. It might be a close race, but you at least have torque.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > RPM esq.
05/06/2014 at 22:30

You have torque, I don't.

thebigbossyboss > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 22:31

Well...never thought I'd see the day a car twice as slow as my Cavalier came along. Seriously...my 0-60 is supposedly around 8 seconds. I'll have to try it out now, but I'll still probably hit 10.

FJ80WaitinForaLSV8 > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 22:31

TBD on the cummins (they are so damn expensive), I've been leaning more towards an LS lately.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > XJDano
05/06/2014 at 22:31

Mine kind of depends on season, in the winter I have got 18 and in summer 14, 16 is just the average.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > FJ80WaitinForaLSV8
05/06/2014 at 22:33

I plan, some time in the future to put in an LS, since it will easily fit and they are cheaper and lighter than a supercharged 5VZ.

FJ80WaitinForaLSV8 > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 22:37

There's someone right now on Oppo who is doing and LS into an old 4 runner right now- http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/i-bought-a-thi…

No Prius Needed > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies

The only thing slower that I have driven is a golf cart...

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > FJ80WaitinForaLSV8
05/06/2014 at 22:41

I've gotta keep an eye on that. Luckily clearance isn't as much of a problem with mine, since someone has somehow wedged a 5.9 Cummins in one.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > No Prius Needed
05/06/2014 at 22:42

It would probably beat me to it's top speed, if it's electric. Then I would leave it.

thebigbossyboss > No Prius Needed
05/06/2014 at 22:43

I own a Cavalier and can happily report I will out accelerate this 4 runner!

TDIGuy > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 22:44

Ahh yes another 4Runner oppo !! I miss mine so much I has to sell it when I went away to school !! Nothing like that 3.slow V-6 that eats headgaskets like a champ either. !!

Kinja'd!!!

Heres mine and Welcome !!

PheeNoIVI > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies

People where i live love these. My friend has one not sure what year, but same model. They're cool. Lot of modding ability. My friend wants to supercharge his. Welcome to Oppo!

Agrajag > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 22:46

My 1982 240d may be slower, 3800lbs with 65hp. Do you know how in the 80's all speedometers stopped at 85mph even though most cars could well exceed that. My speedometer only goes to 80.

JR1 > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 22:48

Never seen so many people argue who's car is slower. Also kick ass ride. Welcome

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > TDIGuy
05/06/2014 at 22:48

I should have, but I didn't. It made 1000 miles one way like a champ. ONLY 85 gallons of gas was destroyed. Yours was beautiful, I love them in black. Mine is on it's third set of gaskets at 180k? miles. Hoping to find some headers soon to save this set.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Agrajag
05/06/2014 at 22:50

Does it exceed that? Yeah, you have a much worse power to weight than mine. Yours is probably faster, but keep in mind, mine has probably 100 usable HP due to gearing.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > PheeNoIVI
05/06/2014 at 22:51

Thanks, I plan on eventually disgracing the Toyota world by putting an LS in it, but supercharged 5VZ's are beasts as well.

TDIGuy > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 22:52

Mine was a 5 speed and I got 19 mpg on the highway if you believe that but I only got about 240 miles between fillups. and I sold mine with 167k miles on it on what I believe was the 2nd set of gaskets.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > JR1
05/06/2014 at 22:52

Thanks! You know what they say, it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. Mine can be driven at the limit almost all the time.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > TDIGuy
05/06/2014 at 22:53

Yeah, that's about right for the manuals. Not for the auto though. I have gotten 2 MPG's on one tank before.

PheeNoIVI > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 22:56

If you have the money i'd definitely go LS lol. I own a Toyota as well, but thats badass!

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > PheeNoIVI
05/06/2014 at 22:58

I don't have the money as of yet, but sometime in the future. Hopefully before I need another set of head gaskets. People pay good money for the 3VZ for some unexplainable reason, so hopefully I'll be able to resale it after I can get an LS.

thebigbossyboss > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 23:05

Lol...2? Even these tend to get at least 8.

Kinja'd!!!

TDIGuy > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 23:08

Yeah i believe it but thats not what those things are all about they are like a multitool. It does it all I lived mine.

Agrajag > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 23:08

Down hill with a strong wind, yes. 70-75 isn't really an issue, but you think the engine will explode near those speeds.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > thebigbossyboss
05/06/2014 at 23:09

Usually I get from 10-12, but... http://jalopnik.com/it-was-in-the-… The tires are now a makeshift table.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > TDIGuy
05/06/2014 at 23:12

I've had well past it's payload with it barely squatting, I've pulled an F150 out of a river, and I've even partially moved a 7000 lbs duramax, it was just too stuck. It's done anything I've ever put it up to, and it's never even acted like it wanted to back down. I don't ever plan on getting rid of it. I've had too many memories with it.

thebigbossyboss > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 23:13

Hahaha good job! 2 MPG is pretty much worse than most anything that isn't a mining dumptruck. Even a loaded tractor trailers get about 5-6, so you have quite the accomplishment.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Agrajag
05/06/2014 at 23:14

Yikes, mine is more comfortable at 90 than at 70, the transmission can't hunt for gears then. But 90-95 is all it has and is absolutely terrifying.

Welcome! I learned how to drive on one of those (with a V6 and a manual) fun times.

As for slowest vehicle on oppo... 0-60: nope

Kinja'd!!!

Possibly the fastest road vehicle on oppo right next to it

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > thebigbossyboss
05/06/2014 at 23:35

Kinja'd!!!

After I got new tires and didn't have to drive in 4WD all the time, my average went back up to 10-12. This is all Pro-Comp tires are good for:

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Decay buys too many beaters
05/06/2014 at 23:36

But the manual is the fast version! Maybe it's the slowest vehicle that tops out at just below 100.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Decay buys too many beaters
05/06/2014 at 23:38

FRS?

Decay buys too many beaters > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 23:41

Oh that 4 runner certainly was quick off the line, the manuals were geared REALLY low. I would routinely start out in 2nd or 3rd then shift right to 5th and ride the torque curve.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Decay buys too many beaters
05/06/2014 at 23:43

So are the autos. Mine to 15 is quickkk, but then it shifts into second. If I could start in second, it would be a bit quicker.

Decay buys too many beaters > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 23:43

Yes the quarter panel photo bombing the picture of the bikes is my FR-S :)

good eye!

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Decay buys too many beaters
05/06/2014 at 23:49

I got to drive my cousins FRS. It was a bit different than what I'm used to, to say the least. Plenty of power for me.

Decay buys too many beaters > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/06/2014 at 23:54

Yeah, I still have not driven another car that is as eager in first gear

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Decay buys too many beaters
05/06/2014 at 23:56

It gives a false sense of hope.

Decay buys too many beaters > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/07/2014 at 00:00

Plenty for me too.

The only time it feels slow to me is when I am riding a foot off the bumper of an M5 through the corners at a track day, and then we get to a straight...

let's just say 200<<<<<<<500 or so horsepower

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > Decay buys too many beaters
05/07/2014 at 00:03

Yeah, but I would almost bet you were having a better time.

Without a doubt, he was spending too much time worrying about how much closer the cheap Japanese sports car was going to be to the bumper of his $100k german super sedan on the next lap :)

Mine's slower! Yet not slow enough at the same time. 4banger barely over 100hp, 4.88s, and 37s

And yes, awesome to see another offroad oppo person! (Offropo?)

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > handsoff
05/07/2014 at 17:51

Dat flex. Mine has low gears as well. I have a friend with a V6 version of your truck, and it was a little beast.

bpromersberger > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/13/2014 at 07:59

Not as bad as our work truck, a 1968 Deuce and a Half.

0-50.... 33 seconds.

0-60..... doesn't really happen.

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > bpromersberger
05/13/2014 at 10:55

Yeah, you've won this, but I bet people get out of its way at least. It has presence.

bpromersberger > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
05/13/2014 at 11:00

Usually. Most of the time we get stares like "look at this maniac" or "who in the hell would drive something that big". But in reality, it was bought for $3500, sunk about $5k into parts, and its the only vehicle for that cheap that can haul 8 tons of steel in its bed.
