FS: 1997 3rd Gen SR5 Lifted/Modified $7,000 West Chicagoland, IL

[starclassic]

SOLD

I'm (reluctantly) putting feelers out for selling my beloved '97. The short story is I've changed jobs and my family needs a new vehicle. Part of that process means letting go of one project in favor of another (we are looking for a 2001-2006 Land Cruiser).

Looking for $7,000 or best offer. At 234k original miles the engine is in incredible shape. It's spent the majority of its life in the SW (New Mexico and Arizona) so the frame is very, very clean, only a small bit of rust from 2 winters in Chicago. 3.4 V6 4x4. No eLocker. Fading paint/clear coat on the hood and roof. It also does not have a trailer hitch (haven't needed to tow, sold aftermarket rear bumper to save weight since this has been a daily driver). Scroll down to see details of all the upgrades. Hit me up if you're interested!

This truck has been a dream. I bought it from a T4R.org forum member, and have kept a detailed build thread tracking the maintenance and upgrades.

Beautiful truck. $7k is a steal for this one - I've seen it in person. If I was in the market for a 3rd get, I'd jump on this.

Good Lord :wow2:

This build is amazing! I'm in Chicago. I want to purchase this vehicle SO BADLY. Literally the build I have been obsessively planning since I've found T4R. I made an account for this post as its too perfect to not say anything.


BUT...


I am waiting on a property to close mid-June for the funds to be available.

If this truck is still available then, I'm your man.

I saw this on Craigslist! Are you still offering her up for sale? Or is she already gone?

This truck is AMAZING. Every time I see it I can't believe my eyes.

I just had to finally sign up in here to find out if it sold yet? If I had the money, I'd buy it SO fast. Somebody is going to be so lucky!
