Sell it as is or in stock form?
I have a 94 4Runner... SR5, Fully loaded, ~140K miles. Nothing is wrong it it. Motor runs smooth, burns a little bit of oil probably about .5-1 qt for every 5000 miles now (had a problem with the PCV, but fixed now)
Mods:
- K&N FIPK, (have orginal parts)
- BJ Spacers, (alignment $50)
- OME Shocks (will stay on)
- OME Coils (have stocks)
- Manual Locking Hubs (need the ADD piece)
- 33x10.50R15 BFG MT KM (I can get a set of 31x10.50R15 BFG AT KO for $200, $40 to get swaped, I will NOT sell the 33s if I am putting back to stock).
Right now I am selling it for $7500.
But the Blue Book value is at $6500-6800.
So what should I do, put it back to stock condition or sell it with the mods?
I am going to sell the mods for about 75-80% of the orginial price (every thing it was new as of July 04).

Drop it to stock hight and throw on the small tires. Lifted trucks, even really nice ones are much harder to sell. My friend had a hell of a time unloading his sweet 95' 4runner because it was lifted 4" on 32s and everyone kept telling him it wasn too extreme for what they were going to use it for. The added get-up-and-go from the small tires also helps.

Remember that the average (i.e. non-enthusiast) buyer won't be willing to pay a premium for all the goodies you put on there. Like Peter said, that will reduce your customer base.
I'd say return it to stock (or as close to stock as you can get it) and then sell the other parts separately. You'll probably get more money that way.

I have had some people PM me about the stuff I am going to take off. I have to see what happens in 2 weeks.
Then I might put the parts on E-bay because several people want them, and thats the easiest way to do it. plus with e-bay I can have a buy it now option.

Those mods are really not worth getting it that far above Blue Book.
Those mods are likely easier to leave on and not mess with than to take off and try to sell. If you think of yourself as costing a dolllar and hour to take that off, I would not mess with it.
