Yeah forget Florida and California too! There's lots of ocean out there and plenty of salt to rust trucks.

Nah plenty of Cali is far away from the ocean and warm enough that you get either little snow or none at all.
In Florida the most you can ever be away from the ocean is about a 100 miles.

I thought it was a 1994 4Runner.... 
My son says it is out along side the house needing a new engine after 165k miles. He is about to give up on Toyota.

Your son must be the first person in history to kill a 22R in only 165,000 miles. (If it's a four-banger. He would be about the 7 millionth to kill the cruddy V6 that Toyota used back in those days.)

It is a 1993 4RN whatever that means. I just pulled up the scan of the title.

That's the right code for the 22R. He must have run it on Bunker C or something.

and never changed the oil, oil filter, air filter, drove the truck upside down and washed it with radioactive salt water. Seriously I don't think I have ever seen a 22R or 22RE fail before 200,000 miles unless there were some extenuating circumstances.
The highest mileage 22R I can remember was in a 2wd 4runner and last time I worked on it over three years ago had 280,000 miles on it. I am pretty sure it was a 1998 and he changed the oil every 5,000 miles with Castrol 10w30.

Alaska and Alaskans are pretty tough on cars. It was rusted and had 135k when he bought it as a repo from the credit union.

and the other shoe drops...
I think a rusted out, repoed vehicle that was definitely abused even for Alaskan standards would qualify as extenuating circumstances.
