A few 4runner questions(2005)

[hitek79]

I'm looking to build a daily driver, but weekend fun rig. Right now I'm leaning towards a 2005ish V8 4runner.

First question is do the limiteds and SR5s always come with locking rear diffs, or is this an option? I'll be purchasing this through an auction, sight unseen, so just looking for the button isn't really possible.

It seems like a 3 inch lift and 33s is a common set up. Should this be good for daily driving but still fairly capable offroad?

Any recommendations in general? Who makes the best lift/suspension for this generation? Thanks for any input!

Old man emu makes greats 3 inch ish lifts highly recommend new upper control arms with that. No locking diff was offered in that year range. If you get a 2003 or 2004 you will not have to worry about the secondary air bypass pump failing. They are rock solid vehicles. I am putting about 1k miles a week on mine with old man emu springs and 32 inch tires and love it.
