Thanks for the tips so far guys.

So the Auto Trans does not seem that bad after all. Would you guys suggest I put in that Trans cooler shortly after I buy the truck. Is it an easy DIY or should I get a shop to install it.

The 4runner might become the DD so fuel economy is important. I'm aiming to spend $3000 w. 150,000 and I will be happy. $4000 willing if it's a nice truck ~100,000-125,000. I might go five grand but the truck would have to be very nice. Not sure if my goals are obtainable or not.

I found this one on craigslist. Seller says 140,000 and only minor door dings. Said $6100 takes it but I replied price was too high. If this is a nice truck what do you thing I can get the seller down too if I deal? I think it has everything I want, Color, 4x4 and V6. Don't really need the leather seats here in Phoenix (hot during summer) but I bet they are nice besides that.
