I've owned 2nd thru 5th gen 4Runners and they all have been a royal PITA to have balanced correctly. It seems the wheels are (were?) lug centric as opposed to hub centric, the later of which will give you a good balance on most any spin balancer. Lug centric wheels tend to require an adapter and most shops don't use them because it takes time. I had a shop do a spin balance, then had them rotate the wheel about 90 degrees on the shaft of the machine and then re-spin it. It was way off.
A shop that has a RoadForce balancer is your next best bet after a COMPETENT Toyota dealer.
