$5000? No doubt SpitVenom did an incredible job on it. But $5000? This is one of those projects that is a labor of love but most likely won't realize any return unless the owner keeps it and enjoys the sh*t out of it. (very similar to my latest 3rd Gen project I'm afraid to say)

SV, you should he commended on a job well done. I hope your buddy keeps it though, it's his best bet at this point.

Thank you, I agree partially with you and partially with texas_4runner

If a buyer is looking for a 4runner and sees a few and knows what condition a typical 4500-5k 4runner is in then he comes over sees this one, he sees that brakes, suspension, engine, trans interior etc its all been redone and then you have receipts for all the parts they are brand new etc some people would rather take that vehicle that lets say another 180-200k runner prob on stock shocks/springs, worn down brake parts, etc etc, I guess it just all depends on the buyer but I think 5k is feasible for a person looking the truck over in detail. Other buyers would walk away and go look for the 5k limited that the only things replaced in the last 3 years was oil/gas and a battery lol.

Originally the intended purpose was just that, either junk it or spend all that money to buy a 4-5k 4runner with unknown history, or just redo everything on this one and have everything taken care for to keep it, but in the middle of all of it he found out he will need a bigger vehicle.

What did you use to clean the carpet? answer: an older machine that has steam in the front, brush in the middle and vacuum port in the rear, the soap or shampoo is my friends special blend, I dont know what it has or how he makes it he just sells it to body shops/detail places and places alike, its blue in color and smells freaking freshhh, this stuff I swear if you put some on a brush and rub a really hard stubborn dirty spot, it will release from the carpet fiber in seconds and you can just wipe with a micro clean.
