**SOLD**For Sale: 2000 4runner Sport, 4x4 built rig (Jsmarine's)

SOLD SOLD

Yes I know, I cannot believe I am selling it either. But as of lately, my needs have been changing, and I have been wanting a Toyota Tacoma, Double Cab, short bed, 4X4; so the first step before I can go buy one is to sell my 4runner. This 4runner has been my pride and joy for 4 years; I have taken very good care of it. It is my daily driver, and my camping/off-road rig, it has quite a few miles, but mostly are highway as I am a salesman. I am a little sad about writing this, and am already having second thoughts about selling it; so if I pull the ad down, you will understand why.

Links to details, pictures and modifications about my 4runner:

The 4runner is in great condition for its age and mileage, never wrecked, and no body work of any kind. It does have some “pin striping” and light scratches from the trails, but that’s about it, no dents or other damage. The interior is in great condition as well, may need a cleaning, but no stains, rips or tears in the fabric.

Now the bad, here are the ‘known’ faults with the vehicle:

1) I had a helicoil (Helicoil - Emhart Technologies Helicoil Distributor, Manufacturer, Agent, Helicoil Free Running, Helicoil Screw Lock, Helicoil Metric, Helicoil Screw Thread Inserts, USA) put in cylinder #1 because the spark plug came loose and damaged the threads of the hole; this was performed at about 175,000 miles. It has not been an issue since.

2) This 4runner is California emissions, which means it has two catalytic converters, I have replaced both with aftermarket cats (at about 130,000 miles). I also replaced both the front A/F sensor and the rear O2 sensors with OEM Denso brand. Unfortunately, the cats were not heavy duty enough to keep the MIL (check engine) light off. So, I put in a URD O2 simulator (Underdog Racing Development), and haven’t had any trouble since, and it has passed Texas state emissions inspection AND Colorado when I lived there too.

3) Windshield is cracked, and one fog lamp is cracked as well, still works though.

4) Last, is a recent issue but I am working on it now, the transfer case is leaking, I have parts and plan to have it fixed sometime soon. EDIT: (Fixed 4/25/2011)

:sadwave:A sad day for sure. I know we've never talked but i have come to appreciate your input in the forum and ive always admired your rig. Lets hope it stays in the "family" and best of luck to you.

Ive lurked a bit on some of the taco forums, you sure you wanna go over there? Im just sayin...

 

[xskydivingdudex]

Wow dude, was not expecting this... but i hope u the best with the sale and hopefully ull get another rig and start the mods and keep us updated.

 

[Hepar]

Good luck with the sale. Amazing rig for sure. I think most of us in the 3rd gen section would love it if you posted your future Tacoma build there. I for one am for it.

Thank you for the kind words, and I am not leaving the forum just because I am selling my 4runner, I still plan to be an active member here.

But, I wont post my Tacoma build in the 3rd Gen section, I don't think that would be appropriate. I will probably start a build thread for it on www.expeditionportal.com. But maybe I will keep you guys up to date with the Tacoma (when I get one) in the 'off topic' section, or 'other vehicles' section on T4R.

bump for an amazing 4runner, best of luck on your sale.

I would also love to be reminded of your updates, maybe you could just bump your old 3rd gen build thread with links to your taco thread every once in a while

Saturday bump!

Fixed the Transfer case leak today.

Still for sale! :bigok:

 

[jsmarine]

Spent some $$$ and got the 4runner detailed today, particularly the inside and it really turned out nicely! They cleaned and shampooed the ENTIRE inside, including under and behind all the seats. I removed the cargo drawer system to have it done, but will put it back in if the buyer wants it. Its included in the sale. Also, don't worry about the wire you see hanging out of the dash by the A/C vents, it goes to my GPS, it will be removed before the sale. I know, I took a TON of pics, but I know people want to see as much as possible in an ad, I know I do. Please let me know if there is anything in particular you would like me to take a pic of.

Anyways, it kind of makes me sad seeing it all cleaned up.

Gas Mileage

I can't believe I am the first one to ask, but what kind of gas mileage do you get? With the price of gas, it is a very big issue for me...

 

[jsmarine]

I can't believe I am the first one to ask, but what kind of gas mileage do you get? With the price of gas, it is a very big issue for me...

Its probably between 12 and 16 mpg.

EDIT: I normally go 180 - 200 miles between fill ups, and I usually pump in about 13 gallons every time. (I dont ever let my tank get all the way empty). So 180 - 200 miles using 13 gallons equals 13.84 mpg and 15.38 mpg respectively.

 

[manhunter]

Hey JS, sad to see you doing the same thing I did. I sold mine few months ago after I came down with Jeep fever. Even though I am thoroughly enjoying my Jeep Wrangler, I still look back with fond memories of the fun I had in the 4runner and the fun I had doing all the modifications. Good luck with your sale, and good luck finding the right Taco that you are wanting.

Manhunter.
