So, despite my objections, my friend Eric has decided to sell his truck. He says that he just doesn't want to spend the money to build it, and would rather see it go to someone who will use it to its fullest potential. He has asked me to help him find a suitable new owner.
The craigslist post is here:
2001 SR5 Toyota 4Runner 4x4 Sport
The truck's name is Bruce. It's a solid truck in great condition.
This is not my truck, but it almost was. A year ago he was selling it and changed his mind, so I ended up buying another one just like it. I've helped him do some work on the truck (fuel filter, plugs and wires, LED console lighting) since then and I can say that this is a great truck. It is in great shape mechanically, the only bugs there are that the TB is due based on mileage, and the truck is throwing a cat code (can't remember exact code). Don't know if that code is due to the cat being bad or simply the rear O2 sensor going bad.
Cosmetically it's in fantastic shape. The cloth interior has no tears or funny smells. Never smoked in. It does have some wear from being a DD since 2001; the silver trim near buttons has worn a bit, the plastic on the turn stalk is a little chewed, but on the whole it's really in great shape.
There are a few scratches on the exterior, but the paint is also in great condition, the truck was garage kept its whole life until about a year ago when it became a third vehicle. PO was faithful about washing and waxing, and the clear coat is still smooth and solid.
Asking price is $7100, but he's already told me he's willing to be flexible if he finds an owner who's going to treat this truck right.
Edit: Craigslist post says on the right hand side of the page it's manual transmission. That's a typo. As you can see in the pics, it is in fact an automatic.
