so wish I had some extra cash

Anyone notice the junk yard writing on the timing cover? This truck has stories.

Yes, post #13. I talked to him and it came from an auction in Arkansas. The front diff is covered in oil and road grime. Looks like a leak from above that has been there a while. Dried oil all over the bottom of engine, steering rack and driveshaft, although valve covers looked nice. Get what u pay for if u aren't careful
 
I really am envious of some of the rigs on here, some of you have really put your hearts and souls into them…..but sometimes I have to stop and just be thankful for the rig I have. The first post really had me thinking…..I stopped thinking about it at post 13 or so. :)

Agreed. I bought a 97 for 2800$ very clean exterior and interior. No rust, body clean. Came with 3" daystarspacers and 33" all terrain falken. Bought it with 173k. Fixed the whole front end, timing belt everything. Month later headgasket went :( bought a used jdm motor with 60k 1500$ and now it's so mint so fresh so smooth. I love it. Puts a smile on my face when I drive it and clean it. Sucks that I had to buy new motor. Probably the guy sold me with a messes up engine, just seemed fine at the time. Anyways, now ov have 97 4runner with 180k on frame, and 63k on motor jdm :). And I sometimes try and find 4runners with elockers or manual. Because mine is auto without elocker but 4wd. And then I stop and think. Like it ain't even worth it. That's my whip lol. I take care of it and I know it will take care of me. No reason to get rid of it. I'm drive it till the wheels fall of. But I will upgrade into a elocker. That's all. Which is not that hard. And then I'll have a nice beast.

I love how much knowledge is on this site. I was all giddy at the smoking deal I thought I found for someone but now I'm ashamed for putting it on. I will never buy another t4r without asking you all about it first.

TOP NOTCH GROUP WE HAVE HERE
 
Even knowing that the 1st truck posted may have "stories" I think its a good deal. That TJM bumper is EXTREMELY rare.
 
I was interested in this one too. I'm not too far away. The guy told me there's no leaks or issues at all tho.... does look super clean tho.
 
That's super messed up right there. He should change the description to mileage unknown at least.

If he is a legit guy not trying to scam anyone, I feel bad that he bought it thinking it had a lot less miles on it than it does

I bet they know. Otherwise they'd most likely be asking more for it.
 
Agreed. A previous owner did the rollback but I'm sure he knows. Well I know he knows now! I asked him about it.

Looking at another one in the area that's the exact same scenario... Wtf is it with people.
