In spite of all the extra weight this 4runner moves quite quickly. This 4runner will go more places than most out there and not look out of shape getting there.
Why am I selling? Just bought a 2006 Tundra dbl cab to build up for my family. Don't need to sell this but don't use it enough, need more drive way space and I own too many cars/ motorcycles.
$13k pretty firm, but willing to listen .
New Price $12.5k with everything

I will likely pull the Battery (switch w/1 yr old interstate), scan gauge, and the winch if it doesn't sell right away and use them on my tundra build

Thanks for looking -Josh

I was there in Feb. Beautiful drive.
I'm sure you went thru quicker than I did....

More pictures after a quick wash

If you are looking for a stealth 4wd rig to blend into your surroundings, this isn't it. Almost every time I'm driving this in town people stop to ask me questions or snap a pic or two. No joke even had some girl at Stove Pipe Wells hop out of her subie and snap a bunch of pictures of it. don't like the attention or interaction with people just keep the windows rolled up everything other than the windshield has pretty dark tint.

Not especially looking, for myself, but this seems like a well built truck ... and a bargain for what it is. How's it tow with your mods? What was the factory ratio, and how's the highway ride with the 4.88s?

Looks like you have a few other nice toys, as well (the Seven in the garage caught my eye ... and the lavender fender with the black wheel certainly isn't sitting at a factory ride-height; S2k? Miata?).

Good luck with your sale, I expect it should go fast at this price ... hope you get out of it what you're after.

glws! I've traveled with Josh and his 4runner a few times. It made short work of everything we encountered.

Finally got around to replacing the original broken cup holder. Now even more of a deal. :sombrero:

Replaced Thermostat w/170 degree unit

Swapped out the thermostat that went South on an earlier trip and I had to replace with a standard unit available at a local autoparts store in Bishop CA.
New unit is a performance 170 degree thermostat from URD. As a bonus I'll throw in the sticker, hell you can even have the stock thermostat w/2k miles.

Bump, Josh
