Hi all! My name is Ben and I am a noobie to offroading and Toyotas. I just recently bought a 1997 4Runner limited 4x4 with 320k miles. I know it's a lot of miles but I got a good deal and I heard Toyotas run forever.

Hopefully I get answers here and I look forward to meeting new friends.

Cheers!

 

welcome

 

Thanks a lot!

 

Welcome dude!

 

Treat your 4runner well, and it will do the same to you

 

just stay away from the V-6s and you will be fine

welcome lots of info here

??

Maybe you are refering to the 3.0

He has the limited, so it would be the 3.4, which is a great motor

 

yep You are right

 

welcome....

 

Hey there im form Long Beach so im a local.

 

Welcome to the family
That kind of mileage is nothing for these trucks... get all the fluids and plugs changed to "zero out" your interval maintenance if you don't have good records from the po, get it oil sprayed [rust protection] very necessary living near the sea and playing in the desert like you are/will be... and you'll be laughing.

 

What's wrong with the 3.0?

 

Nothing really.... earlier versions liked to eat head gaskets but they more or less solved that... they can be a bit "underpowered" for what they are... and they are a little harder on gas then the 22re... properly taken care of they are a descent engine... even very good for their time...

 

welcome to YT!! Good luck on your build.
