Picked up my first 4runner this weekend off my brother-in-law. I owned a 94 extended cab Toyota pickup for several years in college and loved it. Then moved on to full sized gas hawgs for 13 years. Then moved back to a 01 Cherokee 2 years ago to get better gas mileage. Never really liked it, but it was a one owner and in good condition at a good price. Handed it off to my 16yld daughter and picked up the 4runner for me. It's nice to be back in a Toyota. :thumb3:
310K on it, but still drives like it was only 100K. Springs look to be a little tired and sitting low to me (265/75R16 tires). The hood has been painted with the "color matched" spray paint without any clear, so it doesn't match the best. The clear is also chalked up pretty good on the roof. Thinking about dipping the whole thing at some point this year.
Plan to do a mild 2-2.5" lift at some point and will probably remove the running boards when my youngest daughter gets a little taller. Do the rock sliders double as a good step for height impaired passengers?
Here it is before I transferred my stuff to it from the Jeep.

and here's after swapping over all my stuff.
