Yep, a '97, Anthracite metallic, V6 W/117k miles. I bought it new, and I haven't felt like selling it yet.

With a combo I don't know why you would want to sell.

I have all of the above. But my leather is trashed and I had to install a factory elocker. I'm at 178K.

Just a little note.... When people on this site search for a 4R they mainly search for a 5speed. Some find one others don't but if they hold out for a bit one will come up. Because of this a bigger percentage might have 5pd's on this site and other off-road sites compared to Craigslist/ auto-trader offerings. I somehow walked into mine after looking at all autos. Seller did not even list the 5spd or locker on the Craigslist add.
I finally found a manual transmission t4r locally last month after looking for about 6 months. 1998 SR5 158k miles with leather, power windows and locks, and a sunroof.
My leather is trashed, too. It's more like an 80% leather, 20% foam. So, I wouldn't get too hung up for looking for a leather one... you'll probably be re-covering it either way.
Right after I bought mine, there was an ever better one that was available locally for a great price. Isn't that the way it always is? But, there hasn't been one since.
Keep looking, don't pay for one of these $10k 4runners, and be ready to pounce on it when you find it.

Hey guys no I am NOT looking I have one, but I was thinking that maybe someone pieced mine together since ive not seen another one like it, it has the following,
97 3.4/4x4/manual trans/E locker/(clean) leather/full power/sunroof/towing
98k miles. ZERO rust, not even a spec.
If I were to sell it what would you guys ask for something like this? just did the timing belt/tensioners/waterpump, front pads/rotors/rear shoes, turned rear drums, all filters and all fluids.(clean title ofcourse)
other new items include
new shift knob
grill
plugs
wires
tint
yakima roof rack
99+headlights
Hids

^^^ I was just reading on one I found. Apparently you could special order the leather-covered, sunroof-wearing truck with a manual transmission, 4x4 and locker. So it's rare, but not necessarily pieced together. The one I'm looking at the current owner claims that the original owner ordered it from the factory that way.
Spitvenom - It's a lot like yours, but not as nice. Less money though.

So you've only put 8k on yours in 14 years? That's crazy...I've put almost 14k on mine in 7 months. Wish I didn't have to use it as my DD.

You mis-read that, I did too initially. He bought a '98 back in September '11.

I have all the options given for a '96 minus the leather which I didn't want anyways. Found it 2 1/2 years ago with 111,000 miles on it and for $5000. Had been looking for one for about half a year before finding this one, and the gal that had it partially didn't know what she had or cared about the special options.

that's amazing. Similar to mine, I just decided i wanted to find a 4wd before my move to North Dakota and the one I bought was a 5spd SR5 and it was the first ad i found on CL. I was so lucky to find the one i wanted right away.

No I did not put so little mileage, the previous owner did lol. I might put even less because I drive my bikes to work and for fun, so the truck will only be used if I ever need to pull my supra or to pull bikes, also when it rains etc etc but very light duty and in socal so it should have an easy life still.
Wow 5k for that other one? that must be the best deal ever on one of these!!!
