My new hottness *pics!
Just bought my very first (USED) 4Runner... SOOOOO Stoked!
2001 4WD Sport only 60k miles!!! The couple I bought it off didn't even know how to engage the 4WD... this was a good sign
Thanks to all who helped me out a couple weeks ago with things to look for when buying, it payed off

actually, it may NOT be a good sign. you're supposed to put it in 4wd/AWD once a month for a few miles to keep everything lubed up front and to keep the ADD actuator working properly w/o getting sticky...
good find though!

I had one of those AAA Vehicel Inspection Programs done on it before I bought it and everything checked out fine.
Paul H. I payed 17k for it

just put it in 4wd OFF THE PAVEMENT and let the drive it a little to make sure the dash lights come on and everything engages properly. if the 4WD light flashes, then put it in neutral and then back in drive a few times. if that doesn't work, then get it rolling, and turn left/right and shift into neutral while still moving. that should get it to engage. if it doesn't, then it may need to go in for a little TLC on the front ADD actuator.

Wow its just like the one I bought in March for 17k 01 Black SR5 65k Cali truck only spent two winters here. I love mine then I open the moonroof and slide down the back window and love it even more. Now go search for Deckplate, Foglight, & Andymod.
Enjoy

That is a real nice looking 01 Runner! Don't know about black though. I specifically looked for the gray or white ones to hide the scratches better.
Someone already asked but no answer yet. Do you plan on wheeling it? Lots of Socal action to hit up if you plan on it.
Using the 4x4 is a good thing. Not using it can be very bad as stated already. You should have no lag in engaging the 4x4. THe center diff lock does sometimes take just a second but it helps to do it rolling slowly. The Trac system is a cool thing reguardless of what you may hear. Is it as good in every situation as a locker. No, but is has its advantages. Now the VSC system is a pain in the butt. Look up Andy mod to fix that though.
Nice ride!
