FS: Built 3rd Gen 1997 SC'd 4Runner $15k obo

My situation is changing, so I'm not going to be able to get much use from the 4Runner anymore, so here it is. $15k or best offer - May be willing to trade for a station wagon. Truck is in San Diego area.

You can check out the "build" thread in my details to see what it is and where it's been.

Clean truck, 190k on the chassis, replaced engine about 5k back with JDM. Supercharger and 7th injector have pretty low miles (less than 3k). Tires still have 90% tread. Truck is built, but has not been used nearly as much as I'd like. Dyno sheet on build thread. She pulls hard, AC is cold, suspension is great, ARB locker and winch will get you out of trouble, and Corbeau seats will keep you comfortable.

The bad? HAM installation could have been done better. Wiring is good, but I don't like the placement or the bracket. Accessory and battery wiring could use some cleanup. Paint is tired, and clear coat is starting to peal on driver's side above doors. Looks great with wax and polish, but showing age.

More details in sig links.

NOTE: I may be willing to trade for a station wagon if it's nice. I'm posting here, because I want it to go to a good home, so don't be afraid to make an offer.

Price drop

Dropped price to $15k based on some offline feedback. I'm willing to listen to offers, so please don't be shy.

Got to say sad to seeyou selling your rig. It's been one of my favorites. GLWS

If you don't mind me asking, why the station wagon and any specific ones in mind?

Thanks, JBurt. It's been fun building an running her, but I'm gonna have to move for work, and it won't be practical to have a big trail rig where I'm going. I could probably make it work, but I'd be bummed not being able to use it properly, especially since my work days will be amped up for a few years.

Station wagon seems more practical for where we'll be (San Francisco). Truthfully, any hatchback would probably do the trick. I'm a snob, so I'd prefer a BMW, Mercedes, or MINI Cooper (I used to have a clubman, and I miss it.)

We'll see what I can get. I'm not eager to take a huge beating on price, but I am willing to deal. If you or someone you know want a badass 4Runner, I've got one, and I'm willing to deal.

I don't know anyone looking unfortunately. I know there are several guys up in the Bay Area. Are there really no trails to run? Are you also selling the prerunner?

There are trails like Hollister and not far from some serious stuff toward Tahoe, but there's not a lot of room to park it, and I doubt I'll get to use it as much as I'd like.

The pre-runner is in my buddy's garage with no front end at the moment. We are in the process of fabbing a cage for the beefier long travel kit I bought a while back. It's gonna be sick. Will probably leave it down south, and let my buddy run it mostly. It'll keep me attached to the desert when I visit.

Bump. What do you all think of Race Dezert classifieds? Might give that a shot. Otherwise Auto Trader?

 

[red-runner]

Decided not to sell. I got an offer, and I just couldn't pull the trigger.

Thanks, guys. Shopping for paint...
