---------------------------------------------
This is my first 4Runner. I got my driver's license in 1997 and the 4Runner was the vehicle I wanted but couldn't have. Fast forward to today: better 19 years late than never! I purchased this fantastic truck from another T4R enthusiast (and forum member) in Michigan. Until 2015, the truck lived in the Southwest (Arizona and New Mexico). It is in fantastic shape for an almost 20-year old. Besides fading clear coat/paint on the hood/roof, the finish is still in great shape. There is no rust on the frame. The interior is also very clean.
