You are right....I had it put on a rack by my mechanic and he found some surface rust and he said even if we had a replace some things it was worth the price...frame was solid...it spent a lot of time in Virginia...may have been garage kept but was still exposed to the elements....based on...

Thank you all so much for all the help. I will go inspect the vehicle in great detail based on all your suggestions. I am buying it for my son in college. Thank you again.....

When it stops does the AC light start blinking...if so it may be the magnetic clutch relay in the fuse box. There was a recall on this....search blinking AC light for the threads about this. I order the correct replacement relay and mine has been working great ever sense.

After doing a great deal of research on here, I just put on a set of Toyo Open Country AT II tires. I have only had them on for a week but I love the way they look and handle. My T4R will mostly see pavement so I wanted a tire that looked aggressive but one that would be quiet and have a good...

Btw..thanks to this site...I ordered the Toyo OC AT II from tread depot. Saved about $150 on the set of 4. The local 4wd center is going to mount and balance for $100 and will rotate them free. We are excited to see the T4R with the new tires. My son wants to paint the rims matte black so we...

Thanks so much...this site is like calling customer service and getting someone really knowledgeable and friendly to help you. It is the 2WD model. Here are some pictures:

I bought a 2003 4runner this weekend. It is a Sports Edition 2wd with 150K with Xreas suspension. I got it for $7400. I wanted a 4wd but this seemed like too good of a deal to pass up. The vehicle will be a 3rd vehicle that will become my sons when he gets his license later this year...

I got a chance to check the 99 out today. It is the late gen 99 since it has the dual power outlets. The interior is in great shape and the body is as well. It does not have the real lock differential. The timing belt has been changes for the 2nd time. New brakes last year, pedal felt...

I will get more time to look it over tomorrow. Will check for the rear locker. No accidents. Mostly highway miles and no towing.
