3/29/24 UPDATE: 4Runner has been SOLD. Thank you to everyone for looking, and a big thank you to this Forum for all the years of information I gathered here.
I didn’t see myself ever selling this, but I also didn't forsee getting married, having a family and vehicle needs changing! That said, I'm hoping to find a good home for my beloved 3rd gen. I have put a lot of love and care in maintaining it. Here are the details:
I'm the 2nd owner. Purchased in 2012. Originally sold in Tulsa at Crow Brothers Toyota. Been in Oklahoma it's entire life. That means zero rust issues.
All maintenance work done either by Toyota dealerships or myself, always using OEM Toyota parts and supplies. I have maintained all records, services and upgrades both in a binder and phone application called aDrive/Fuelly (I’m happy to export the data to you).
Also included are various supplies I have left over (OEM paint, toyota red radiator fluid, misc oem parts,switches) as well as any original parts that were changed.

Items to repair:
Driver inner CV boot is ripped. Happened in 2019. Obviously drivable as-is, but if/when you decide to upgrade the suspension, you might consider replacing this as well.
Driver seat leather. Another item I planned to recover in the OEM Oak color, but held off because you may want to do black or something else. Leather replacements for the front seats range from $100-500 and can be DIY.
Center Dash Faux-wood trim. The wood trim in the Limited are notoriously brittle. I found this out earlier this year when I removed the digital hvac controller for service. On the upper left side, a tab broke. I glued it back with polypropylene-specific adhesive, and it may not bother you, but just be aware it is there. A remedy I thought of was replacing it with the stronger SR5 black trim.
Asking $10,000 Or Best Offer. Willing to travel within reason. Not interested in any trades. I tried to offer as much info as I can in this ad, the highlights, the repairs I’ve done, what could be fixed, but if you have any questions I am happy to answer them. I have learned a lot from this forum and am grateful for all of the input from its users.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
