SOLD: 2002 3rd Gen Sport Edition, $5400 OBO (Rhode Island)

ANOTHER EDIT: SOLD!

EDIT: I found it!! Title-in-hand.

My second 4Runner (210k miles) seeks a new home. I just sunk ~$3800 into it over the past few months, but I have had ongoing issues with the VSC, and after attempting to get it sorted with two times swapping out the yaw rate sensor, I am giving up. Someone can AndyMod it, shut off the VSC/TRAC, and live happily ever after. Recent work includes:

October 2020:
Radiator Coolant Hoses
Timing Belt & Water Pump

September 2020:
Replacement Exhaust

July 2020:
General Grabber APT tires (265/70)

This is a lifelong New England truck, so there is underbody corrosion; couple of pics to show what I'm talking about. It's a Sport Edition in Thundercloud Gray Metallic with a gray leather interior. The front windows were tinted and the bug guard was added under prior ownership; I didn't modify it beyond adding a Kenwood eXcelon touchscreen stereo (has plug-in Apple CarPlay capability) and Kenwood eXcelon speakers in the doors (rears upsized to 5 1/4").

After losing my last '02 SR5 in a rear-end collision in May 2019, I was stoked to find this one, but the VSC issue has been a pervasive issue for me, and I know most folks here probably would be inclined to disable it anyway. Picking it up from the shop hopefully Monday (hood latch stuck), and once I get the new title it'll be ready to go. (A tech at the shop may be interested, but I'm fairly doubtful that anything will come of it.) Let me know if you are interested, and thank you for reading this.

Additional underbody shots. Clearly not a desert example. (Trying to be transparent, so hopefully that counts for something!)

title

it will probably take 6-8 weeks to receive title fyi

 

[houndrunner]

You are probably right; Mods, let me know if I should take this down and repost when I have title-in-hand. Working on it!

Edit: thank you mickeyt! After weeks of searching, your post prompted me to look in a few other spots I hadn't checked, and lo and behold, I actually found the damn thing. Title is all set! What a relief.

I'm a dummy, thought I had included that. 210k.

Made a little video showing what's up with the truck to give everyone a better look! 2002 4Runner Sport Edition Walk Around - YouTube

Is the frame rusted inside the rear control arm bracket area ? Very interested.

 

[houndrunner]

Hi Rokeane -- sorry, just seeing this! I've taken a couple of pictures, but I'll try to get a couple more tomorrow during daylight hours.

 

[houndrunner]

Probably not doing myself a ton of favors posting these, but I'm trying to be as transparent as possible here. Not sure if this is what you wanted to see, but let me know!

 

[houndrunner]

Price drop! (Would like to move this sooner rather than later, so I'm open to offers.)
