Best place to sell 2002 4Runner Sport 4WD

I'm looking for recommendations for some good places to try and sell my 2002 Toyota 4Runner 4WD sport edition. I was looking at trading it in, but was appalled at the quotes from dealers and CarMax. I definitely wouldn't sell for the cheapo amounts they were offering (or maybe my expectations are too high based on current gas prices).

Anyway, back to the topic. I live in Southern California (LA area) and have a perfect condition '02 4Runner with low miles (52k) that I'd like to sell on my own. Since it's a great SUV, but doesn't get great mileage, I'm assuming it would be best to target areas where 4WD enthusiasts look. Any ideas / recommendations for websites, enthusiast mags, or similar where it would be best to advertise it?

Thanks for the help!
Keith.....

Washington and Colorado are probably the best markets for 4runners.
I know I paid a crap load for mine a year ago.

edit: I think I mis-understood the question... craigslist and autotrader was where I looked.

Selling on an enthusiast forum, in my experience, is generally a bad idea.

Nit-picking is increased exponentially and when you have a higher concentration of a certain vehicle in one place it drives the price down. Unless you plan on selling below book value, it's generally unsuccessful.
