Don't forget to search for 4 runner with a space! "4runner" and "4 runner" will give you different results, It all depends on what the seller has in their ad.

Exactly, I searched 4runner, runner and 4-runner. Sometimes even forerunner and forunner. You never know how people will spell it and the good ones can fall through the cracks.
 
Heres a few different ones ive found... Some of them are lifted/ have more miles than you want, but I still think they're worth looking into.

Also, are there ideal regions in the US to buy from weather-wise? I.E. is it better to buy a Runner from Sunny So-Cal as opposed to Michigan where it snows constantly and rust is typical?

Because most people I know who buy the truck with the intention of it not as a daily driver and mainly as a trail rig will buy something with solid front and rear axles, like a Jeep (but not limited too). These trucks are a great compromise offroader, but not what I would buy if used purely offroad. A lot of the people I know with these trucks daily drive them, If we were here talking about an old land rover I would assume its not a daily driver.

You see the Black SR5 flare kit pop up every couple of months, I got offered a few sets in that price range not too long back. I'll see if I can find out who has one of the sets.

Sweet, next time I need to make a decision on a vehicle to buy with MY money for an off road toy, I'll consult you first.

Ladies and gentlemen,


I am sick of looking for a 1999 Toyota 4Runner Highlander Edition. So, I have decided to place a finders fee out there for leads. $100 to the person that finds the 4Runner I end up buying.

Has to be black
Prefer gray interior
Prefer Auto Transmission
Rear locking axle a huge plus

No 2000 or 2001. 1999 only. After spending a lot of time on autotempest.com and adhuntr.com, these sights are never truly running correctly, and I started noticing that they don't pull all of the 4runners in. For instance, I searched buffalo, NY for one a few days back. with autotempest and adhuntr, a 4runner did not pull up on either, and i tried searching 4runner, 4 runner, 4-runner, and forefunner/forrunner/fourrunner.

There is a great example of what I am looking for from Forum member ADH8796

No, i'm not looking for a runner post-build (Though its an impressive build and turned out great). I am looking for it in it's stock form. I have $8000 set aside for the car, and another bit for my build. Mileage is not a huge issue at this point, but rust is. Aside from the bumpers, which are usually bitten by rust, I am hoping to find one with no rocker cancer.

If ANYONE can help, Please. I am getting impatient, and running out of time. Going to Tennessee in a few weeks, and need to get the ride, mod it, and take it out with my friends for a bachelor party weekend of wheeling and casinos.
 
You may have started to define which year/model and color is the rarest. Even out here in the land of 4Runners they are scarce to non-existent on auto trader and even locally I may see them but not for sale.

Pretty much sums up my life. I always want something that is not really out there!

When I was looking for an 03 Cobra I wanted the Sonic Blue with Stamped 10th anniversary rims. Ford Actually made a handful of the Sonic Blue with them directly from the factory, because they were forged, unlike the other 10th anniversary wheels. At the time I did not know how rare they were. After I found out, it took awhile.

As was my GLI Jetta. Didn't know they made the fewest in platinum gray, but I wanted it.

Also as was my Saleen. Didnt want the speedster exhaust, but wanted it in red. Less than 300 were made in 2000 with the dual exhaust coming out near the corners. This was because Ford did not make a Cobra in 2000 except for the R edition, and Saleen thought they could get people into the speedster exhaust.

So, of course I want the rarest, hardest to find, and probably lowest produced 4runner ever made... F*** me.
