Found a Unicorn - Manual Window 3rd Gen

[UnderFire]

This really is one of those things you hear about every once in a while, but never see. This is the first time I've ever actually seen a 3rd Gen with manual windows, period. Never seen pictures and definitely hadn't seen it in person.



Here's what it actually looks like.

Man those are awesome....I had a 95 22RE 5sp manual windows. Gang Bangers lit it on fire....I loved that rig...perfect hunting rig!

I was just telling someone the other day...I wish they made a Runner with vinyl floor, roll up windows, AC, Heater, Radio, and seats!! Less crap to go wrong and would be a lot cheaper to buy.

Nice, thanks for sharing! A true "base model"!

And a manual rolling tailgate window

Someone cop those door panels ASAP. Not many manual window door panels in grey. Hell, I can barely find grey interior pieces in general.

I'm working on getting the whole setup from the guy just so they don't go to the crusher. Will have them sitting in the shop shortly with any luck.

Daaaaaamn, that's unicorn status for sure.

I assume it's a 96-98 3RZ manual? What year?

Whole truck or just interior? Take the whole door if you can !!

Amazing find - is that base Gen3, 2WD or 4WD ?

 

[JWaldz]

Oddly enough, it was still probably $35k back in 1996 lol

When I was searching 6 years ago I found a sport with manual windows. Not sure how what was achieved but it was very interesting to see.

I was actually somewhat surprised. The truck is a 1996 base 3rz like you'd expect, but it actually has a few small options like the rack, rear spoiler, clock etc. And most surprising to me it is auto AND 4x4.

Trying to get all 4 doors, rear frames are probably bent, it is whacked in the back worse than I've ever seen, but I think the regulators and everything would probably work in a power window door shell.

Never seen one on a 4runner but lots of them on a tacoma Here is my 99 base model. I wonder if you could retrofit them to a 4runner from a tacoma

I'd estimate more like 25k. My completely stripped base 2wd manual says it had a 19,900 MSRP, not sure how accurate that is.

Winner Winner!! LOL...Missed that one probably because on my current 96 I don't think I have ever rolled it down after the day I bought it!! Totally forgot about it. The 95's I had of course you had roll it down every time. I just manually wired my 95 with a two position temp toggle switch because the POS regulator thing would not work.

That? No way. Both of my generously optioned SR5's were slightly under $35k msrp.

That's accurate, I remember Base RWD 15" wheel models being around $18,500.
