I made that email address from when I sold my last truck.
The truck is in overall really good condition for is age. It is probably one of the cleanest out there for sale right now. I have taken really good care of it and it has always been garaged since I have owned it. I have owned it 4 years and have done quite a bit of maintenance to it that I will list below. I do not have much history on the car from before I bought it.
Interior is about an 8 out of 10. There is a plastic trim piece on the passenger seat that is broken.
Everything in the truck works like it should including:
• Power windows, even the rear one in the tailgate
• Power locks
• Keyless entry, I have one remote
• Sound system
• Heated mirrors
• Window defoggers
Maintenance history:
Mods:
• Sound system head unit from Scion, with iPod auxiliary cord. Model T1809 this unit puts out a lot more power than the factory Toyota head unit and is plug and play meaning no wires were cut behind the unit.
• All the door speakers were swapped with either Alpine or Pioneer brand speakers ( I can remember, but I will provide a picture of one)
Known Issues: This is a 17 year old car and it has a few known issues
• Involved In minor accident that damaged the rear tailgate and rear bumper. They have been replaced with OEM parts. I will provide a picture of the damage below
• Minor rock chips and scratches, nothing excessive
• Pretty big door ding on driver front fender
• Transmission sometimes has a rough shift to second gear. This is common on these 4runners as well as the Tacoma’s of the same year. EDIT: please see my description of this in the thread below, this is not a serious issue just a minor annoyance
• Valve cover gaskets leak a small amount of oil, maybe one drip per week in the garage. I replaced them a while ago, but they started leaking again about 10,000 miles after the repair.
• Odometer does not display actual miles. See the description of “miles” at beginning of post.
• There is a plastic trim piece on the passenger seat that is broken.
EDIT: There have been many request for pictures of frame rails and suspension components. I assure you this truck almost no rust pictures are provided below
I am providing a picture of the sway bar mount as this is a common place for heavy rust due to the "bowl" it makes to collect debris and water. As you can see mine is rust free.
These are the upgraded speakers in the doors. I don't remember if they are Pioneer or Alpine brand.
Picture of the accident damage. Rear door and bumper were the only parts damaged. Replaced with OEM parts from a 1999 4runner of same factory color so the paints match. Paint is even the same age.
