FS: 1997 4Runner SR5 4x4 5-speed E-Locker - Louisiana ***SOLD***
***SOLD***
1997 4Runner SR5 3.4L V6 4x4 5-speed Manual E-Locker.
Current Mileage just under 189k.
$4800 obo
Runs great! Bought it in 2012 and have used it as my daily driver (~215 miles/week) for the last couple years. My father-in-law passed me his 2002 SR5 with just under 99k on it and I figured it's time to sell the '97.
All mechanics in working order, except the power antenna, which was missing when I bought it. Only negative thing I can say about it (other than cosmetic wear) is that, to the best of my knowledge, the timing belt and water pump have never been changed. I haven't changed it myself, because it runs so well. I planned to do the work myself when needed, with the help of info here on T4R.org.
I replaced the head unit with a Kenwood DPX500BT.
I replaced the brakes (calipers, rotors, pads) with new parts from O'Reilly.
I replaced the clutch master/slave cylinders and had a pro mechanic replace my clutch.
Added the rear dif breather mod in the gas filler area.
Just recently cleaned the throttle body and replaced the PCV valve.
I really haven't done much else to it except enjoy driving it. I haven't taken it offroad once. Next up on my maintenance list was going to be LBJs, but I haven't been driving it since getting the 2002, except to keep it's juices flowing now and again.
Everything is here in my IH8MUD thread.
