Help me find my next 4runner!

[MillerPKA]

As some of you know, I still have the 4runner. Well today it took a minor dump on me and while I'm sure its a relatively easy fix I'm using this as the motivation to get the ball rolling on my next 4runner. I will not be selling mine at the moment but looking for another 3rd gen.

Between family and work I have had one of the most stressful couple of weeks of my life. My mind is beat my fingers hurt my eyes are killing me and all I have the strength to do right about now is to regain strength for the next day. I've done some research online but you don't need me to tell you its an overwhelming task.

So this one goes out mainly to the forum crawlers (you know who you are!) who have some free time. I have some specifics I'd like to keep to and would like to see if you want to waste some of your free time helping me locate a suitable ride given the criteria. Take this or leave it, its not going to hurt my feelings if no one gives a rats ass, but one suitable lead is one more than I had before so its all for progress. Thanks in advance, I love this crew.

check the thread i just made, little different than what youre looking for but half the price

hows this look?

I've been on the hunt like a madman but I'm looking to spend less than this.
Not sure on the boost guage, there's no mention of a supercharger in the details.

^ that looks better than anything on Craigslist in Charlotte.

Based on the price I'm guessing the mileage is over the 150k mark on this one:

I know this is a hair over your price point, but the truck only has 70k.

That looks great! I'm wondering about the rust on the hitch and how much else is under there

I'm honestly gunning for this one right now but by all means still looking. 2wd but 77k! Not to mention I've always had a major chubby for the pearl white

There is a diesel second Gen on the Raleigh Craigslist if you are interested I can post the linky

 

[frayed]

Yeah, I've noticed that with most any hitch as I'm looking at all these trucks. I guess if they've been on for any length of time they will be subject to some possible rust. Bang up the paint just a touch and they rust but that is also around the welds etc. Guess thats where a Carfax can be useful as well to let you know where it's been... aside from getting some photos or of course looking at it yourself.

Good luck, I'll keep an eye out for you. I'm in Richmond, VA and looking at about the same 150 mile range here too.

Those pearl whites are awesome. There is one in my neighborhood that has a spacer lift and it looks awesome. It is a 2wd, but that color is probably one of the nicest Toyota made in the 3rd gen.

Heres a pearl white one local to me, but its 4wd.

Yeah that's ridiculous. Good to hear from you man its been a while. Although I've been talking big about moving my ass has stayed planted more or less. Moved up here to Charlotte for a gig in the liquor industry but I've accumulated the reviews and such to get me in somewhere else. I just started sending my resume off to some wineries and brokers out in SD because my friend just moved out there. Hopefully if I do come out there this black fool can come out with me.

The pearl white is so sexy..

dang!! beat me to it.

 

[Hepar]

I could keep my eye out for you up here. But one, prices on Runners are high, like Gumball high (ok, maybe not THAT high) and two, the travel. If you're down, let me know and I'll keep my eyes open.

 

[LINY4Runner]

2WD?!

For a SAS right?

Or is this gonna be your daily with the other as your trail rig?
