As the title states I'm parting with my beloved 4th gen 4runner that I have built up over these last 4 years. It still saddens me even as I write this, But I have decided to move to a different rig that I think will better suit my needs. So my lose will be somebody else's gain!
Silver 2008 Toyota 4Runner (urban edition)
V6 4x4
141k miles
I purchased this truck for years ago and am the 2nd owner. I purchased it with 72k miles on it and it now currently has around 141k. Despite how I've built it a majority of those miles were accumulated on the highway between NYC,Upstate and Boston on the weekends and of course the occasional adventure to go camping or wheeling somewhere in the northeast!
This is a very solid and reliable rig! I've done a majority of the work myself along with the help of some good friends/mechanics and people that I consider some of the best and most knowlegable Toyota guys in the Northeast. I have receipts for all the parts that I've purchased that are currently on the truck - Minus the costs of labor of course but we all know how much that can cost and for those of us that build and do our own well we all know the time and energy that goes into these things!
Ive put together a build list below of everything, I'm sure theres things that I'm forgetting. Have about $15k in parts and mods and that's nothing including the countless hours of blood sweat and tears that's went into building it.( ok maybe being a bit dramatic but I get attached to my vehicles)
Major things that were just done this past year were - Both front clamshell and rear 3rd member were professionally re geared with master re build kits and solid pinion spacers from East Coast Gear Supply and are also warrantied by them as well - along with Fj cruiser rear axle swap and Elocker, also BN 4x4 Labs rear bumper with dual swing outs and tire carrier. All fluids were done with in the last six months including tranny flush(done by Toyota) Front clamshell,Tcase and 3rd member. Engine oil has always been done every 4K miles using Aemsoil since I've owned it, All new plugs&wires. Inner and outer tie rods, new LCA's. Even though being a northeast vehicle I've done a pretty good job of keeping it clean and undercoating it on a yearly bases so it's not covered in rust like most tend to be! The Wheels have some rock rash. But again this is not a Mall crawler!
The only bad is a small dent on the rear driver side door
This has been amazing rig and I would would not hesitate to get in it tomorrow and drive it to Alaska and back. This truck is built to be able to go just about anywhere but if very on road friendly it's perfect for Long haul expedition/camping trips but is also a very capable truck on the trail! There's a ton of info in it and you can pretty much see everything that's been done and it's progression in my build thread.
The truck is currently located at our place in central Massachusetts but I live in NYC and Upstate NY and travel all over New England really so I'm pretty flexible and will meet or delivery with a few hours of any of those locations...

I'm asking $19.5
