I was looking at a 99 4Runner for a friend, and to me, it looks like something belongs in the compartment in the cargo area on the passenger side. There are straps, but nothing in there. Tool kit?

What should we look closely at in regards to potential problems? It seems quite steep at $10,600. Kbb puts it between 4,200 and 8,000. It has an ARB bar, but that's it for mods.


Thanks,

Oh, it has 126K on the clock.

 

There is nothing that goes into the cargo compartment from the factory. If I'm not mistaken, I think Toyota does (or at least did) sell either a little first-aid kit or a set of reflective triangles (for when you're stranded on the side of the road) to go in there.

All the tools that come with the 4Runner (jack, jack handle, lug wrench, etc...) are located under the rear passenger seat bottom (seat bottom folds up to reveal a storage compartment under the carpet.)

 

I think they put the reciever hitch/ball in there?

 

What trim? SR5, Limited, Highlander? But $10K is too high.

 

In the US, it is supposed to be empty. it is for whatever you want to jam in there.

the straps are just a nice thing toyota left in there

I keep a tugging strap and jumper cables in there

 

yep nothing came in that compartment for me... I jam a first aid kit there but it is an odd size spot... hitch goes below that.

 

Who's "they"? When you buy a vehicle from the dealer, no hitch and ball usually come with the vehicle.

 

I used to have a set of jumper cables, my backup recovery strap, and a funnel all jammed in there.

 

If you buy in Brazil, you get a triangle in there. (See my sig.) You also get a fire extinguisher in front of the driver seat. Both by law. I am sure there are other countries that require new vehicles be sold with the triangle. The fire extinguisher reflects the time when half the rolling fleet was air-cooled VW bugs that regularly caught fire in Brazilian heat.

 

that space is there so you can make a box to fit a 12" sub inside so you can bump to the music while cruisin....

 

Price is FAR to high, i paid $9600 for my 2000 limited in near mint condition a few years ago. Prices have dropped like a rock since then....
