Have you considered posting it in the classifieds section instead of spamming it in a half dozen different threads? Most people look in the classifieds FOR SALE section in order to BUY items that are FOR SALE.
How long have you owned your 3rd gen?

2000 4Runner SR5 Sport, purchased for $23K in 2004 (lease return) with 42,000 ODO, now 270,000.
Weird "features:" Federal version (but purchased in CA), which has messed me up multiple times trying to deal with catalytic convertor issues (including one stolen). Door sticker says I have 15" wheels even though they are clearly 16" and came with 16 from the factory according to the VIN report. And if you look up my tranny by VIN, it's the wrong one; the factory installed the next year's model tranny (2001+). I had to order parts using the part number off the side of the housing.

It was purchased brand new by my mother in law in 2002 and it was given to my son on his 16th birthday in 2011 and I inherited it from my son after he passed on 2014.

6 years now, and living in quebec, canada, went multiple times to florida, nevada, california. Very nice road trip vehicle, and not hard at all on gas on the long road.
Went through the Quebec winters also, obviously, as it is a canadian vehicle, and can go through almost any quantity of snow without giving a damn.

I originally purchased my '97 Limited for my wife in mid 2002. I began driving it daily in 2004, when she inherited her late father's Expedition.
Fast forward to 2021. Still driving it on an 80 mile round trip daily commute. Sure we have issues from time to time, but it has been more reliable than any other vehicle that I have ever owned. Hell, it has outlasted my marriage by a long shot.
355k + and we're still trucking.

Yes, I am to always fixing this and that on the truck, but mostly from frequent inspections I do, for preventive maintenance, and the occasional puddle of whatever in the driveway from a leaking something.
Well at least she let you have the truck! I chuckled... cheers!
