Finally got an 3rd gen 4runner...

It was abandoned at the toyota dealership, rims taken and sitting on 4 stumps...paid a few bucks for it. 3.4 V6 with 5 speed, rear E-locker, Sunroof, 926 paint code (Lavender Steel Metalic)


Found some 03 tacoma 17" rims and found some michelin LTX 265/70/17 (31.6) and off it went...has a few issues with engine, and had a coolant leak from the rear passenger heater lines, fixed now.

Whoo hooo....

Congrats! Sounds like a nice find. Lavender Steel is one of those rarer colors that I think looks pretty sweet. Nice combo too, with the 5spd tranny and e-locker.

Thanks, Still need to do brakes (picked-up today) and perhaps a clutch in a few monthes, pedal feels low, maybe a clutch pedal adjust first..but for the price i got it for..dont mind sinking a few dollars into it...i assume toyota was handing him a few thousand dollar bill to fix all this and he just freaked and walked away from it, I was thinking of ordering the scooped hood for it, just need the scoop insert, doesnt come with it, besides that the stock hood looks like it had some hail damage,...looked on ebay but couldnt find any.

Color is mega gay, but if you got it for a good price, then nice score! Looks clean

I see its an old thread, but a 5spd with rear locker is better than a rare find.
