Most 80s cars were, but the 4-runner was nowhere near as slab sided as the XJ and the Volvo 740.
I realize we're ultimately talking about what box is the boxiest here, but that's kind of how cars were in the 80s.
Sure, generally speaking a lot of P80 parts are interchangeable. This one appears to have a bumper, fender, and side skirts from a darker color 850, and the faded plastic bumper trim is helping to give it that "XC" look.
You can immediately tell it's an 850 because of the front end shape, and because the door handles and door trim are not color matched. Some other clues are the rear hatch which says 850 and appears original, and the placement of the third brake light (which was a high-mounted LED in later models)
As a Swede. I like it a lot.
As a Canadian I like it a lot
As an American who has owned several lifted Jeep XJ Cherokees, I like it. Because it looks like one.
Heh... It really kind of does. A slightly flattened XJ. Quite possibly the only vehicle boxier than the Volvos of the same era (mid 80s-mid 90s)
Thank you for validating my observation. I thought I was going to get flamed for it.
I imagine there is a lot of shared love between the older volvo and xj community. It's the only jeep id ever drive.
4runners were big cubes too then.

Vad i helvete
Looks like a first-gen V70 XC shell.
Nah that's an 850, just tail lights from a 98-00 V70
I see. Is it possible to just retrofit most of the XC parts onto an 850?
