Bought a 4runner *PICS*

Last Wednesday my friend Kevin and I went up to Marietta, GA to buy it. The 4runner is all stock with a flawless interior. Its a fully loaded 1994 SR5 4X4. It has 160,000 miles with no major mechanical problems. I was happy to find out it came with a Viper security remote start system, a very nice alpine head unit, after market speakers, HIDs, and its wired for subs. I paid $2,600 for it and set in Atlanta traffic for 3 hours trying to get it back home. Some friends came over Friday night and we took off the running boards, replaced the brake pads, and removed the mud flaps.

Nice find! And good call on getting all the maintance done up front. Saves headaches down the line.

If you're on the same page as I, look at Downey or OME for some rear springs to fix that sag at the same time you do your tires. OME springs up here are ~$200.

The tires are 225's I think and the speed odometer seems to be pretty dead on. I got clocked at the exact speed limit and the cop didn't even flinch.

holy crap man, what a steal! nice find!

yeah, tires are a must... looks like you riding on doughnuts, lol, what are those, 27s?

my next buy will be a Runner. dont get me wrong, I love my PU, but I liked the room I had in my Cherokee and wouldn't mind have'n that kinda room again, but I'm not go back to Jeep, lol

seriously though, I paid 3000 for my 91 PU with more miles than that; bone stock with the 22re, and if that where sitting next to it at the time, I would have got that! (not just because of the price) great deal man, looks good!
