Just scored a 1997 limited that has 301k on the odometer with 4:88 and the factory elocker with blown head gaskets and some interior problems but only have 300 bucks into the rig it’s self, instead of fixing the head gaskets I just decided to get a jdm 5vz and swap everything from my block to it. Other upgrades I plan to do are sequoia front breaks(scored some for 75 bucks), lift (maybe try to squeeze 35s),manual hubs, manual trans, and possibly a supercharger down the road

Welcome to T4R.

One of the main reasons i've always wanted a 4runner...i've seen so many break 300k. Amazing vehicles

300k is why I’m justifying some of the plans I got for this turd, I just got a 3rz Tacoma that I’m taking the hubs off of I have some big tundra brakes for it and I am also piecing together a 5 speed swap. Gotta part this taco out before I can get back to my 4runner

Loving the 5sp swap idea, I plan to do the same to mine some day down the road. And at $300 that looks like a steal when you've already got a motor ready to transplant.

Wow, my '87 only has about 115k miles on it, I'm a long way from 300k. I hope to keep it up and running long enough to maybe get there someday.

Looks good. Will be a great car once it is all fixed up and running smoothly.
