I've had 5 different toyotas that I can remember. Currently own a 2nd generation. Check out this site, it's a cult like we are about our V20s:  http://www.toyota-4runner.org/

 Fellow 2nd gen owner here. My '95 has 215,000 miles on it. The 3rd gens are better, I agree. Some day I'll buy a 4th or 5th gen to replace mine. This is my go-to site:
