I'll look into that! I was not aware of that issue. I got a 2005 sr5 with 140k miles. TB and WP was done at 117k. The biggest thing is the underside is spotless. No rust. The vehicle was owned and maintained in the lower part of NC. Hoping to get another 70k-100k miles out of it.

I just wanted to update everybody: I went with the 4th gen and I am super glad I did. I got the V8 and its just a beautiful driving experience. I love how smooth everything feels. I have been off road driving in pastures a few times and I love that 4x4. Performs perfect for my needs and I...

Thanks guys. I'll keep running them.

Hey All, I purchased a used 4x4 05 v8 SR5 and the dealership had new Bravo H/T tires put on. I want to swap them out, but they are literally brand new. And tires are not cheap. I have a little Boykin pup that we are training. We drive down dirt roads and across a lot of fields/pasture to get...

Found a 06 SR5 v6 (sigh) with 86k miles listed for 13,900. I'm going to go check it out. Seems like a decent deal.

I'm not after the superior off-road capability of the 3rd gen. And honestly, I am better suited for a 4th gen in every way (I hunt and fish, but it never involves anything other than driving down a dirt road). But 3rd gens look so dang classy. I get a smile on my face when I see one going down...

90% of the time, the vehicle is going to be for around town. I live in a very small town. I like to hunt and fish. Just bought a little pup for a duck/dove dog and will be carting him around a lot to different training spots. Would be nice to have something to drive 4-6 hours way when we go...

I seen your thread (If I am not confusing you with someone else). First thought in my head was to call you up and offer you 11 LOL. I'm tired of looking. I began my search at the beginning of December. I am not trying to look for a whole year before I find one. We have kayaking, fishing, and...

I know this topic is somewhat beat to death in the "How many Miles" threads, but I want to focus specifically on value. Unless you plan on a lengthy wait and search, you are going to see low mileage (100-150k) runners for 8-11k. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the 200k+ rigs typically go...

Still looking. Budget increased to 10k.

Eventually, I think I will have one of each. I'm young and have a few speeding tickets, so insurance is TERRIBLE. I think a 4th gen makes the most sense for me. I work at an office and I think the 4th would be nicer for the days I drive the group out for lunch. I feel like everyday there are...

"The Toyota Tax is Strong" That is the best description I have ever heard. Is rust as bad in the 4ths? That has been the deal breaker for me on multiple 3rd gens.

I'm new to 4runners. I have been crazy about the 3rd gens since I was a teenager. Between commutes and school, it never made sense to get out of a small sedan. Now I need a new vehicle and fairly quick. I have been looking for a clean 3rd gen for a few months. They are HARD to find. I know...

Trying too. I don't want an aggressive lift. I'll be using it to cart the dogs around, hunting, kayaking, skii trips, etc. The worst terrain my vehicles see is rutted out gravel roads at a few of the boat landings I visit. I'll keep Nashville in mind! The hard part is needing a place large...

I just wanted to expand my search to other states. I'm looking for a stock 98-2002 4runner. Automatic transmission and 4x4. Lockers are a bonus, but not necessary. Most importantly, no rust issues! Prefer low mileage.
