(I'm looking to buy a 4runner and want to fix problems before they start)

(like external transmission cooler and the rear axle seal)
those seem to be the only 2 common issues i see with the 4runners (well that and their brakes etc)
One way to help prevent blowing axle seals is to do the "extended diff breather mod" (search that term). It's an easy mod to do and will help prevent the breather from getting clogged and/or water from going into the diff.
