Vehicle Details
Year : 1998
Make and Model : Toyota 4Runner SR5
Exterior Color : Tan/silver?
Interior Color : Oak
Auto or Manual? : Automatic
Odometer Reading : 287,000
Location of Vehicle : Lethbridge
Description :
I am regretfully listing the 4Runner up for sale. Truck has been great to me and never let me down. It's seen a ton of work in the 2 1/2 years that I've owned it (it was a stock grocery getter when purchased), and it's impressed me every inch of trail and highway along the way. I believe I have created an excellent example of the perfect "DD/adventure truck". It is a joy to drive on a daily basis, smooth and relatively quiet on the highway (other than the MT's), the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned, gets "decent" mileage (16-18MPG), and looks pretty awesome doing it! (Just won the "Best 4x4" at the Driven 2013 car show....some of you may have seen it at the show)
The bad:
- rear diff/third member seal is leaking slightly needs to be pulled and re-done with FIPG not the paper Toyota seal. Have new OEM axle studs/nuts/lock washers, just havent had time to fix it yet. Can be completed prior to sale.
- Dent on front passenger fender from a tree invading the trail infront of me. Could potentially be fixed without paint being needed.
- Rear hatch drains were clogged upon purchase and a tiny amount of rust is showing around the driver's side drain on the hatch - I was going to (WILL if it doesn't sell) replace with a JDM hatch so havent worried about it.
- Dent on upper/side rear hatch from previous owner.
- It's too small for my needs, or I would not even consider listing it!
It runs like a top and don't be scared by the mileage. To further anyone's interest who may be frowning on the mileage, I can include a full spare motor, transmission, and transfer case depending on the negotiated terms of sale.
I have a folder FULL of receipts for 95% of the parts/work I have done. Please view my screenshots of my maintenance and mileage to see all the preventative maintenance the truck has seen since I have owned it. It has been THOROUGHLY maintained. I have tons of pics, and even some undercarriage ones on my HD so just ask if you want some more photos. The truck is clean throughout, interior is spotless and body is very clean. One of the nicest 4Runners on the road today. Undercarriage is also very clean - truck was purchased from B.C. and I Fluid Film it twice per winter. Waxed 2-3 time per year. Truck is currently parked in storage in my garage in Lethbridge, but delivery/viewings can be arranged for the right potential buyer.
