What should I sell my 97 4runner SR5 for?

Here's the deal, Looking to buy a new car for my wife so it looks like the toy is going to have to go. It has the 3.4 motor with 145.xxx on the clock. Doesn't have anything wrong with it that I know of. I drive it everyday to work and back with no problems at all. I have had it for about 2 1/2 years and kept up on the maintenance religiously. Definetly don't want to have to trade it in with all the mods that have been done to it. Here is a short list of mods:

Bumpers:
Front: ARB
Rear: Sonoran steel
Bombproof Rock sliders with step built in.

Suspension:
Donahoe coilovers 2.5"
Downey rear coils
Total Chaos Uniball upper control arms
Custom chromolly swaybar links
Sonoran drop panhard
2" 4crawler body lift

Gears:
Precision 4.88 gears front and rear
rear has a positrac rearend

maintenance and upgrades:
Power slot rotors and ceramic pads
new steering rack
new timing belt and drive belts
new Water pump and thermostat
Trueflow air filter

Lights:
99+ headlight upgrade
IPF extreme driving lights

Tires and wheels
35x12.50x16 pro-comp extreme AT tires
Teflon coated victor american racing wheels 16x8

Tinted windows in the front to match the rear, Extreme catch-all mats throughout the truck.

Bushwacker extended flares

I am sure I am missing other things but thats a short list of stuff It has.

Any questions or advice on what I should try selling it for would be appreciated. I live just outside Cincinnati, OH also if anyone is interested.

Thanks, Bryan

Your 4runner looks mint man. You shouldn't sell it. Tell her you will start to get emotional if its gone lol.

Bummer man. Maybe try and get an older Toyota and a "wife-mobiele"?

It has a Magnaflow 30" high flow muffler. I had to reroute the exhaust with the new rear bumper so I decided to go ahead and get a new muffler while I was at it. Sounds really good though, Nice and throaty, but quiet driving down the road.

I was thinking maybe I can take it to guatemala,sell it there. And with the difference in money it could pay for my vacation while I'm there, buy my plane ticket back and still have 11,000 left.LOL

Tell Wifey to buy her OWN car.... I had a buddy who was in the same situation... but it was with an M3 she wanted a mini van... My buddy was close to tears...(still trying to hang on to whats left of his youth) After some fancy explaining(in guy talk ... Lying!) He talked her into taking out out a loan and bought her Own Dumb Mini Van- she has her own job and her own banking acct...
Now they are both happy!! Do you think you could get away with that?
other than that the other guy is right.
The day you sell that beauty will be the saddest day of your life.
but don't worry Us guys who still have ours will be here for you...

Another thing I might ad is that I will be travelling out to Top Truck Challenge in California to compete in a buggy that we have built. So, I may be able to drive it out for delivery.

You'd get more money by parting it out and putting it back to stock! Course, that doesn't sound like much fun.

Top truck challenge @ Hollister hills? Lets ee the pix of this buggy.
