I tried moving the vehicle and tried to start it again ( nada). I tried starting I on neutral, nothing. The 4runner was just working 4 hours ago, I came home Parked it and it won't start anymore. Any thoughts? Thank you for your expert assistance or knowledge to share at this point I hit rock bottom coz I have no idea what else to check

Replace the starter (OEM or Denso reman) or rebuild it yourself (new solenoid and contacts. Normal stuff...
Edit... it may still just be intermittent - try the key to START for 1-2 seconds at a time multiple times until the starter spins. You basically are trying to find a spot where the starter contacts and solenoid have enough contact to run the starter (the solenoid spins a bit each time it is actuated).
