Seems WAY Pricey. $7000 is unacceptable for a 1991. People think that when they lift the truck, it also raises the value. Wrong!!! If anything it should lower the value because it is not stock anymore. Remember, you're buying the truck, not the parts(to an extent)

run the vin for the HG recall
Underbody Hoist???

make sure the lift is a suspension lift not a body lift.
check KBB on price
it looks more like a 3k truck than a 7k but they are a used car dealer ship

yea man 7gs is a rip i went over there today n i saw soooo many things wrong with it n the guy would not budge. The pic will speak for them selves









They said they repainted, Both cv boots are broken, one of them doesnt even have a boot. n one of the power mirrors dosent even work. they said they would fix it after i bought then he said its a used car we cant fix everything.

on the rear axle, how come the foreground shock goes up to the left, and the background shock goes up to the right? is that an optical illusion or what?

probably done to combat axle hop when burning out.

A friend of mine is selling his 1991 4Runner SR5 for $3500. And it's twice the truck that thing is, and for half the money.
