EDIT: (2-20-14) Thinking of taking the rear locker and swapping in front and rear axles with 120,000 miles. In that case price will drop to $4700

Reason For Selling
Quick Answer I want a 5 speed manual.

Long Answer:
Quick 4x4 History: Chronologically I have owned; 1986 4runner 5spd 22re, 1993 Toyota Pickup 3vze 5spd, 1986 4runner 5spd 3vze, 1987 SAS 4runner 22re 5spd,

I sold my last 1st gen 4runner when I got news of our first baby!! The wifey complained about the 2 door and carseat access and its old and ugly blah blah..

Thats how I ended up with the 3rd gen. As far as capability and comfort, the 3rd gens win hands down... especially with the diff lock. This was a great compromise for my new family and still being able to keep a 4x4 capable rig.... however after owning this rig for a little bit, I have greatly missed manual transmissions. My personal cars were always manual... this was my first auto... and now I want to go back!!!

I bought this 4runner with intentions to keep it because of the very detailed service records it came with from toyota, but I'm buying a 2000 4runner 5 spd tomorrow!
