Question regarding buying a used 99 4runner
Here's the set up as i see it on craigslist:
99 4runner , 128,000 miles , 4wd,
Of course i think creampuff and race over at 8pm.
I start looking it over and warning bells start going off.
No brake pedal rubber, rubbed through fabric on the seats,
Engine is a ball of grease with leaking oil all over.
Replaced rack, upper balls, lower control arms, rear axle seals leaking hard.
I look at the mechanical odometer and see 128,000
How does a 99 have a mechanical odometer?
My 99 is digital.
Of course.....i left after shaking all the fleas off and later thought to myself......someone disconnected the speedo for many years on that vehicle. It sold quickly....but to another sucker.

Fugazi miles....
Yea, after owning a 3rd gen for over a decade, you develop a keen sense of runner right and wrong.
