Please view all photos in the link as she is FAR from mint. This would be a great project for a trail rig. Dents here and there, some bigger than others. From what I remember the frame and undercarriage have light to moderate surface rust but nothing serious. Paint is overall in pretty decent shape aside front the dents. Dent on the rear passenger side fender area has some rust (Zoom in on first pic. Ill have better pics soon). The drivers side fender was dented and someone used a dent puller tool which made a hole that is rusting (again, zoom in on 1st pic). I will order or get a fender from a salvage yard prior to sale if time permits and if this is a dealbreaker. They run about $75-150 in my experience for a color matched one from a totaled vehicle. The bumpers front and rear have dents and there is a dent on the rear divers side rear quarter panel with no paint damage, you can kinda see it in the first pic behind the rear tire above the bumper. Stock antenna has broken off since the first pic was taken.
Sunroof does not work due to a dent in the roof. Not sure if something fell on it or someone standing on the roof. Was like that when I bought it and I don't remember the explanation.
Interior including all seats and 4 door panels I pulled from a very low mileage 99 4Runner and are in great condition.
The original carpet is pretty stained up and the headliner is a bit dirty. I will clean up as best I can this weekend and include pics.
I built a sleeper drawer system for the back. Definitely a DIY but very functional. I've used it on a couple camping trips with an air mattress on top. Entire system can be easily removed.
She has never left me stranded. She was not my daily driver and was mostly used for camping trips to Sequoia. Big Sur, Yosemite, etc.
