1998 4Runner Limited. 3.4l V6, Automatic, 4x4, power windows (including rear window), power locks, power mirrors, sunroof, Dual power seats, leather, etc.
I bought this from my dad at the end of 2009. He bought it either late 2000 or early 2001 (From Fox Toyota) so I know the complete service history for the past 17 years! Not wrecked in that time period (or ever, as far as we know). I would guess I'm the 3rd owner, but I don't know that for sure.
$13,000.00 in parts upgrades alone:
Exterior:
Front Shrockworks bumper
2 sets of PIAA 4" lights (driving lights and fog lights)
Warn 9.5XP 9500 winch with synthetic rope and Factor 55 link.
Bug deflector
Upgraded headlight/marker buckets to 99-02 with VisionX bulbs
Tinted Windows
Shrockworks sliders
1" body lift
Spidertrax wheel spacers
FJ Crusier 16" TRD wheels - a little bit of rock rash
Mickey Thompson MTZ tires (all 5) 285/75/16 - have been on for approx.
15,000 miles
Front Suspension:
All Pro Upper Control Arms
Bilstein 5100 struts (2.5" lift) with aluminum trim pack spacers for a total suspension lift of approx. 3"
Extended sway bar links
1" diff drop
Rear Suspension:
Sonoran Steel Lower Control Arms
Bilstein 5100 shocks
OME Springs
Track bar drop bracket
Sway bar removed - drives good with the stiffer springs
Drivetrain:
4.88 gear set
All axle bearings and seals replaced within the last 25,000 miles (Rear outer axle seals/bearings within 1000 miles)
Rear Lockrite locker
Front 199mm Tundra brake upgrade (Rotors, Calipers, Pads)
Engine - 100% stock. K&N air filter
Interior:
Huskyliner mats (Front, Rear, and Cargo)
Pioneer Premier Head Unit
Cobra Flush Mount CB
JL Audio C series speaker sets (6.5" front, 5.25" rear)
JL Audio 12" 3W3 HO subwoofer
JL HD900 5 channel amplifier
Winch controls all in the cab on professional switches (as well as fog
lights)
Notable service history:
Front brakes done less than 20,000 miles ago (will probably last another 60k)
Rear brakes done 500 miles ago (New shoes and drums)
Oil changed less than 1500 miles ago (Oil always changed between 3,000-3,500 miles)
Transmission fluid changed less than 1500 miles ago
Transfer case and both differential fluids changed less than 30,000 miles ago
Brake fluid and power steering fluid changed less than 5,000 miles ago
Timing belt and water pump changed less than 20,000 miles ago.
Engine blew at 105,000 miles. There was a hole in the oil pan and the best we can tell it just lost all the oil and threw a rod. Engine was replaced with a unit that only had 10,000 miles on it from White's Auto Sales in Vonore so the engine has 95,000 less miles than the vehicle itself.
Odometer is 245,XXX miles. Engine only has around 150,000 miles though. Drives excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country.
Rear bumper is a little rusty and has a dent in it on the driver side where my wife backed into it in the driveway.
There's a dent in the middle of the rear liftgate.
The fuel gauge displays weird: Shows 5/8 when it's actually full and sits on empty for a while before it's actually empty.
There's a rip in the side of the driver's seat leather.
The power antenna doesn't work.
Trip odometer doesn't work but main odometer works as it should.
Interior and exterior has normal wear and tear but is in excellent shape overall for it's age/use.
$10,200.00 OBO
