Come rescue this thing:
1998 Toyota 4Runner Limited with 240,843 miles. ~1" lift (nearly new springs, shocks and struts). It's located in South Jersey (Moorestown, NJ). Contact me at 610-400-7627 with any questions, picture requests, etc. Call or text (text first if possible).
I bought this at 177K miles in 2017. It was my daily driver until late 2022 when I parked it.
This one needs work to be 100% (CEL: see details below) and I don't have time to give it. This 4runner would be a great starter for off-roader build or just repair and daily. Just needs some TLC.

GOOD:
- Frame rust has been professionally repaired using SafeTCap parts
- All new suspension (OME springs and Bilstein shocks and struts)
- Replaced brakes with Tundra (calipers, pads and rotors) parts (see Tundra brake upgrade on internet)
- Tacoma Whip Antenna
- Deleted all wood grain (still have it if you love it).
- Custom built drawer/platform in back
- Hatch struts recently replaced
- Newer battery (2023)
- Lots of spare parts
BAD:
- Paint/clear coat is toast. Good enough for beach buggy/swamp rod, but not going to impress your date.
- It's a 4runner in New Jersey. Worst is dealt with but there's still rust.
- Had water leak for a while so there are some stains on the headliner and carpet and a mild odor.
- Leather seats are rough. I have bet of 2 sets of seats in there but you know.
- CV axle boots are torn. Rebuilt replacements are available.
- Check Engine Light is ON.
The codes are P0325 and P0330. That's Knock Sensor Bank 1 and Knock Sensor Bank 2. This CEL causes the rpm to be limited to 3000 so the truck drives weird if you really get on it. Below 3000 rpm it runs like a champ. These codes appeared after the truck had sat for a long time. The fact that both banks are throwing codes points to this being a bad wiring harness (most likely old/cracked) to the knock sensors (rather than all the sensors failing at once). This is too complicated for me to repair without a garage to work in. However, it's well documented on the internet and definitely doable for the mechanically inclined.
