It is a 1998 SR5 Manual truck with 240,000 miles. Bought it for $2900 last night and I sure am excited! The possible name is "Diamond in the Rough", but that probably won't stick. It needs a lot of work to make is safe. More details will come soon. I don't have any pictures at the moment except for the dealer ones: Attachment 132204 Attachment 132205 |
Diamond in the Rough
That's my boy! I called her "a diamond in the rough" last night. Luckily, looks like mostly lots of little parts. Not one dent on the skids, almost no rust (two quarter sized spots where no one sees), and straight. This will be my 3rd 4Runner project. I sure miss "Old Blue" (what the guys at work call my old 4Runner).
Stephen :hug: hug from Chuckles PS - long time no post |
chuckles, i see you posting all the time in the classics section because of your dads runner. Glad to see you joined the 3rd gens. Goodluck with your runner. What kind of work is needed?
|
Good find! I wish my runner was a manual.
|
Alright!! Can't wait to see the progression!
|
Thanks guys! The most important work is sway bar end links (I did one last night), shocks and springs, valve cover gaskets, headlights, taillights, and a battery tie down. I have a more complete list and will post it when I get on my desktop computer- I will also post some pics. I also need to degrease the engine, front diff, and transmission to see where oil is leaking from.

Chuckles busted his first knuckle last night. He's now part of the club! :lmao:
And he found out how hard it is to remove a single nut. I have never removed an 18 mm nut on Toyota until last night. I have a socket that size but no wrenches. I guess that will change soon. I'll let junior fill y'all in. But it is amazing what a sway bar end link does. Stephen. :snacker: |
Nice find Chuckles. I see the top doesn't come off, but I guess you can't have everything right?
I can't wait until my boy is old enough that we can start on his first truck. |

I'm still in the process of making a list of things to do, so that will come in a little bit, but here are some pictures:
Attachment 132344 Attachment 132345 Attachment 132346 Bye, bye broken running boards! Attachment 132348 Attachment 132349 Attachment 132350 Dirty engine runs great, just needs valve cover gaskets to stop the oil leak Attachment 132351 Bad spot under the battery Attachment 132352 |

Broken driver's seat... the front left bolt was ripped out of the floor, so we drilled through to the bottom and put a regular grade 8 bolt in. It needs replacing badly
Attachment 132353 Needs a center console- I want to find one out of a '99+ to have cup holders Attachment 132354 Dirty back seats Attachment 132355 Unused jack Attachment 132356 Sway bar end links- broken one and a new one from autozone Attachment 132357 |
I have a couple of questions:
Will 4 spoke 15" alloys from late 1st gens, 2nd gens, and t100s fit on the 3rd gens? Also, has anyone rigged up some rubber mud flaps that say "4WD" from a 1st Gen 4Runner or a 4wd pickup for the front and rears in place of the SR5 flares and running boards? |
Quote:
The 15" models came with smaller front brake calipers. The 16" wheel models (standard only on Limited, both base and SR5 can have 15") came with larger calipers (S13WM casting) that will not suit a 15" rim. It should be noted that all 3rd gen 4Runners can be upgraded to the Tundra brakes, 231 or 199mm. Of the two 3rd gen 4Runners I have, both have 231mm Tundra brakes (13WL casting). For this you should run at least a 16" rim, although the original 4Runner 6 spokes will not work for this. Mudflaps can be done, it's all screws after all. |

Been working on it all weekend…
Box of Parts! Attachment 133341 First was the battery tiedown. When I got it, it had a bungee cord and it broke, so I added some rope. Now it has a real one. Attachment 133339 Attachment 133340 Pedal Covers Attachment 133342 Attachment 133343 Attachment 133344 Windshield wipers Attachment 133345 Sunroof switch worked for sliding forward, back, and tilt up. The tilt down didn't work, so we got one from the junkyard Attachment 133346 |
