From the day I brought it home in summer 2006. Still looks about the same––just sliders and better tires. Still fun. Still gets crappy gas mileage. |

Better pic of the new truck. Now it's off to start reading up on mods...particularly the easiest suspension mods necessary to get some 285/75-16's on beadlocker wheels into the wheel wells. Then possibly some additional exterior lighting and a compressor setup in the tool box for airing up tires.

It is far from unmolested though; it has a 5.3 Vortec and 4 link rear suspension and 35" tires . The outside has been kept original in appearance though.

I really like Toyota's, especially the older ones before they started using aluminum blocks but unfortunately they all have one big problem, they're rust buckets! If you notice, all the good looking rust free Toyota's in this thread are all located in non-rust belt states.
I'm not trying to crap on this thread, just the opposite I'm jealous and would love to own one. I spent a few months trying to find an nice '00-02 4runner w/4 wheel drive and less then 150k and no rust but couldn't find one. Sure I could try to find one from down south and bring it up but I'd use it as a DD meaning it would eventually turn into a rust bucket too. Its a shame I tell you

Great thread. Some really nice Toyotas.
I been into Toyota 4Runners since I purchased my first one in 95. I've had three of them, none with much in the way of mods, I just never seem to have the money. My 97 in an old photo, it currently is at 265,000 miles. I also have a 2000 with 111,000. Looks about the same as the 97 color wise. .

I figure the boat weighs about 4300, the truck is rated to tow 6500 so................... I wouldn't be afraid to go anywhere with it, but its not a turbo diesel lol. |
