Spend a little on maintenance now, and enjoy it for years to come.

Does it have an external trans cooler installed?

Just bought 2001 SR5

Hi All

I just bought a 2001 SR5 4Runner for the last years the original owner bearly used it i did the complete tune up and breaks. I'm planning to do a 3" lift since it needs all shocks / struts replaced front and back ASAP. Waht else will you recommend i should do first ( I dont know if the Timing belt and water pump was replaced) but it runs and drives very smooth. Thak you.

Hello everyone!
I've been reading this forum for a long time gathering info and I appreciate everyone who has contributed to the forum.
So I just purchased a 00 4Runner SR5 a few weeks back. Long story story short it took the Toyota dealer 3 times to fix the rear axle seal. Once prior to me buying the vehicle and twice afterwards. I did a vin check at the service center and a carmax. It's a one owner and local. He/she has had the vehicle service at the same Toyota dealership numerous times. Timing belt and water pump replaced at 97k and multiple other services. The thing that concerns me is the tranny replacement at 103k. The same dealership did the work and the owner spend over 3k on the job which also included the rear main seal being replacing. I paid 7k for the vehicle with 131k. Did I get a good deal??

Nice truck.

That's really pretty. When these were new you basically had to follow the transport trucks and stalk them to the dealer. My SIL faxed a bunch of dealers for me and I got a 1997 from a dealer two hours away.

I do like the metal bumper more then the plastic my 2003 has.

I love that color. I think it's red sunburst or something like that?

Nice score, I can't wait until I find the right one.

Nice looking truck there. I just picked up my first 4Runner about three weeks ago, also a 2000 SR5. I paid $4,600.

Welcome to the forum, I'm also a newbie here as well as to the 4Runner world.
