Question Buying a 98 4runner

What do I need to check or look out for? It's a 98 Limited with 79k 4x4 automatic. Are there any maintenance concerns I need to be aware of? Will go see it monday and it will be my first Toyota anything!
Thanks in advance

Look at all the basic systems:

1) engine (oil burnt, rough idle, miss, hesitation, etc..)
2) suepension (alignment, sagging, overly bouncy ride, etc..
3) brakes (stops well, pedal not too soft, fluid color)
4) Tires (tread depth, wear pattern)
5) Tranny (fluid burnt, OD works, shift gears ok, etc..)

All the aesthetic stuff is all you.

Then it is time for some
