New to forum/Toyotas, purchased a SC 4Runner
I've been 'lurking' around here for a little while. I'm new to the Toyota community (but not imports..My other ride is an Acura RSX Type S). I'm rather excited to join the Toyota community. Today I purchased a 2000 4Runner. It is supercharged, with (to my suprise) TRD headers and TRD exhaust..I know that the SC is not a simple bolt-on-affair, so I'll ensure that it is properly done with the supportive mods.. It's missing the foglights, the spare tire/jack and the radio, brights and dome lights do not work at the moment..I assume that it is likely to be a fuse or something..It has 108K miles on it. I got it for $8900, although I drove 4hrs to get it...Strangely, it has four switches on the dash to the left of the foglight switch..Not sure what they are for, may have something to do with the electrical issues mentioned above...I didn't get it home till rather late, but I'm going to see if the fuel system is stock (I hope not!) and I'll post some pics of the exhaust and headers..In any case here is the ad...

Yes it is! But why don't you just ask the owner what the deal with the wiring is and also if he upgraded the fuel system?

if you need a stock spare, I have one for sale. Never touched the road.

YM13: I bought it from a small used car lot..No idea who the original owner is...

Localmotion: I do need a spare...I'm in Michigan...Think shipping would be a lot?

Welcome to your new addiction! YT's Anonymous meets Thursdays a 7pm. By the way, sounds like a nice find but some pics would be great.

Sure, I'll get some pics ASAP...Of course, I tried washing it in the spray bay this evening and now it is essentially one very large, greenish icicle...

Ok here are a few pics..The exterior pics are a little cruddy as it is night, and I just 'washed' it (hence the ice). I'll get better pics later...

Without the fuel/timing mods, I would pull that intake off immediately! You're running way lean...

I doubt he has the OEM plenum, seeing as he just purchased it like that. ;-)
