Finally found a 3rd Gen!! (NorCal)
Well, after over 2 months of searching all of norcal, I finally came across a good-looking 4runner at a decent price with all of the options I wanted.
I previously joined t4r.org as a different username (before i bought the 4runner), but this is my new official username.
It's a 1997 Desert Dune Pearl Limited 4x4 (with rear locker) with 139,000 miles.
It will be my girl's daily driver for a while (until i get the money for some mods  ) Future plans include basic appearance mods, 2-3" lift, 33" tires, new wheels and sliders.
Anyways, here's some pics of our new toy next to my truck:

My favorite 3rd gen, color and trim... the very combo that fueled my 4Runner dreams more than a decade ago. Congrats and welcome to T4R.org.

Thanks all. I was originally looking for a green or black limited, but this desert dune caught my eye because was really clean inside and out.
Clemsonfan15, your truck was one of the first i saw on here that made me like the desert dune w/ silver trim. I really like the sequoia's on yours. Very clean! Me and my girl are still debating whether to go with black or silver wheels.

Looks good!
Although, you might want to send back your license plates....it seems that they forgot to put the numbers and letters on them....

Nice to see another new desert dune rig on the forum! It looks awesome! Looked like mine too a few months back, before I did any mods. Congrats!
