I have a 2002 4Runner SR5 and mine did not come with a factory alarm. I didn't think it was a very big deal until my car got broken into.

I ended up buying a Viper 2-Way alarm and I love it! I have some pretty expensive stereo equipment in my car as well so the alarm that I bought definitely gives me peace of mind. There are a lot of different systems with different features (2-Way communication, remote start, etc.) depending on your price range. I would recommend getting a Viper system from Best Buy because professional install is included in the price. If the back of your 4runner is open I would recommend getting a motion sensor that can be adjusted to be triggered when someone gets too close. I decided to get one for my rig because with the basic Viper system it is still possible to break into the car without setting off the alarm. Here is the link for the one that I bought and for the motion sensor. I hope this helps.
