2002 SR5 with 96,865 on the odometer. I bought it in January 2014 with 54,000.
How many miles on your 4runner?

Great find, and chance to learn what's related to mileage and what's related to time.
How do the bushing in the front end look? Any shaking around 65 MPH?
Any driveline vibration?
What do you plan? LBJ replacement and a new radiator just to be sure?

No shaking in the front end and the bushings look good, not great. They'll probably need replacing within a year or so. In Jan 2014 it drove smooth and straight and it still does. The LBJ's are still good and I did a radiator replacement a few months back....although I had already installed an external B&M Supercooler and by-passed the cooler in the radiator. So far I've done the following maintenance: battery, spark plugs and wires, radiator, brakeflush, tranny flush with mesh filter, diff fluid change, rear axle seals and bearings, complete brake job. I'm not part of the majority on here who wheel mine since it is 2WD and my daily driver. I just simply couldn't pass on the price of $7500 for a 12 year old Toyota with 54,000 on the clock. It's been a great truck and I enjoy driving it.
It was quite a find indeed! I lived in Vegas at the time and looked online and locally for 4 months before I found this one. I bought it from an old charter pilot who had it sitting in storage for a few years. I wasn't completely sold on it because it was 2WD but after driving it, I was!

316k 1997 4wd Purchased 12/07/2016 When I was driving her home she was a little wobbly over 60mph so I figured it was the left driver side tire at the time, and another problem is a rattling sound underneath once the road gets rough. After reading octanejunkie's thread I decided to check out the driveshafts and I found the front slip yoke to have a little play.. soo I'm wondering if this could possibly be the cause of the sound and wobble?

96 SR5 bought it in November with 279,000. Ive put about 1000 more on it. Had wobble around 55mph and the rotors were warpped. Did the Tundra brake upgrade and it removed most of the wobble. Just bought all new ball joints, TRE, and steering rack bushings to rebuild the front. Hopefully this will removed the rest of the wobble. New radiator and tranny cooler are up next.
