I am glad to see this thread has come to good use. Keeps useless threads from being made that ask newb questions lol.
Update on my 4runner: Sold my 4runner to focus on my first gen tacoma.
I wanted to invest it all in freedom pew pews to add to the collection and hunting items
Everything I wanted to do to my 4runner I want to do to my tacoma. So that only left me one choice.
Bought the 4runner for $2600. Redid the valve cover gaskets with oem components. All oem maintenance parts. Replaced all the suspension components and brakes. About 1300 bucks in put me at 3900. Sold it for 2 grand more.
Hard to pass up a good offer.
