1997 Toyota 4Runner - Lifted and loaded...simply one of a kind - $9500

This is my pride and joy. Bought it bone stock from a family friend who was the original owner. Over $3,500 in preventive maintenance in the last 15 months alone (receipts if requested). Need a larger SUV for my job. Serious inquiries only please.

Here are some basic facts:
236,xxx miles but running great. 3.4L V6, tan leather interior, power windows, locks, mirrors. sunroof, heat, cold A/C

Now here's what makes it who she is. Complete photo timeline and list below at this site: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f79/...runner-115238/

Engine/Performance
∙ Safari Snorkel
∙ SHO Taurus oil filter
∙ Extended terminal cables to accommodate body lift
∙ ISR Mod
∙ 18" Magnaflow
∙ Extended Diff Breather to gas filler housing
∙ D-to-O ring throttle body gasket port

Suspension/Drivetrain/Body

∙ 2" 4Crawler body lift

Front
∙ OME 883
∙ OME N91S (+ trim packer, driver side)
Rear
∙ LC's
∙ ProComp ES1000s

∙ 1" Toytec Diff Drop
∙ Toytec Poly Bushings

Socks and Shoes
∙ 16x7.5" FJ TRD Anthracites
∙ 315/75 General Grabber DOT

Exterior

Interior
∙ 2000 center console retrofit
∙ Pioneer AVH P3200DVD
∙ 580 Watt Amplifier
∙ 12" Audiobahn Flame Series in ported box

Some things I feel are worth a mention:

Front seats are worn and are covered by worn Wet Okoles haha
Steering wheel top is worn and covered
A/C Compressor bearing is getting a little whine to it
Driver side mirror is cracked
Front passenger door rocker panel has paint chip

This car was built to be trail ready but does surprisingly well as a DD. Does absolutely fine driving to the mountains and making day trips to my corporate headquarters. Its qualities have been put to the test and passed with flying colors, and has been maintained to the best of my ability, but has some unavoidable hints of its age such as scratches and dirty carpets. I have absolutely loved working on this car and getting it to where its at. It has been sponsored and featured by several companies. Has an international fan base and is a true head turner. I have masses of references who can attest to the love and attention I've given this over the years. If there is some itch you feel like scratching that I have yet to I can help out with discounts across the off roading world. I am looking into a Land Cruiser and will most likely start another build with it, so I'd love to stay in touch with whoever takes this guy in and go wheeling with you! Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. I want to be completely transparent with this sale in hopes to have the best transaction as well as feeling comfortable letting this go to another owner. Test drives and discussions are welcome, but I am a busy person so just respect that. Thanks for looking!

I didn't see it, so I'm guessing no e-locker? When was the timing belt changed last?
thanks Josh

Nice rig. It is about 4k past my budget. Sucks cause I am looking for a 3rd gen right now around ATL. area and every time I come on this board I have to stop by and look at this thread.

Not to hijack but how do you like those tires so far? I have been eying them.

Nice rig, but the mileage has me a little spooked. How many miles can you get from these 3.4 motors between rebuilds?
