need some help...

[DL98VFR]

Okay, I bought a 93 4Runner w/78000 miles, thought I got a GREAT deal, turns out to be not so much. Truck has several problems and I don't have the skills to fix them, so I am looking for referrals. Don't know if this is something y'all do, but I am down to 3 options: commit to the truck, fix it and invest for the future, fix the major problems and sell it, or sell it now at a major loss:redbrick:. I live in northern CT, and although I have a regular mechanic, they do not seem terribly experienced w/4Runners and if I am going to get this thing back on the road I'd like to deal with someone who knows what they are doing. Please help if you can, and thanks for reading.

OK, what are they?

Well, in order of importance and probable expense they go as follows:
fuel leak when tank is more than 3/4 full
major vibration in front end, probably a bad tie rod but I don't know
odd inconsistent situation when in 4wh drive- doesn't seem to engage all the way and traction and driving is VERY strange
rear window has stopped working from cab
other minor crap thats just annoying

I really appreciate your feedback, I know this is a forum more for folks who do their own work (and I hope to get there) but I need some guidance!

Thanks again,
D
