Finally in the club!

[mbcdef]

After months of searching I took possession of a 2002 SR5 last night. A friend of mine decided he wanted a new one so he sold me his 2002 with 131k miles. It's a one owner that's nearly perfect, all original stock, and is spotless. Needless to say I'm pretty stoked about it! He gave me a folder of most of the service items ever completed and has been serviced at the same shop here in town so I can get any others he didn't keep a copy of. I'm pretty confident it was $5800 well spent.

Glad to be part of the club now! What a great resource you guys have been and will be, thanks!

Nice! It appears to be missing a transfer case and a front differential though.

Welcome! ...From a fellow white '02!

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm assuming you are busting my chops for it not being a 4x4, right?

Forgive my ignorance but how can you tell that?

He is making a joke that you don't have 4x4.
Seeing as you don't have a 4x4 shifter, a transfer case and front differential would not be present.

How in Gods name were you able to let go of 2 Hilux Surfs?!
I envy your past!

I used to live in Peru where used Surfs were available for sale. Upon arriving to port from Japan, the steering wheels would be moved over (heavily modified) for left hand steering.

After moving back to the states, I bought a 5th gen, love it, BUT, I dearly miss my 3rd gens........

I was going to say the same thing, the shifter area looks naked.

To the OP: Great looking rig and I think you got a great deal.

Yes, Birmingham, Al where it appears the 4Runner and Sequoia are nearly every other vehicle. Tough market!
