So I've been lurking on this site for many months after stumbling on it when doing research on my previous Nissan Frontier.
Well, long story short the 09' Frontier CC 4x4 was traded in and the equity I had in it = a paid off 99' 4runner SR5 4x4.
Details on the 4runner: 1999, 3.4, auto, 4x4, SR5 trim, Desert Dune over Oak, black flares, E-locker, pwr everything including sunroof, factory mats, factory tow (doesnt look like its ever been used) all books and probably a few other doo-dads.
Unfortunately it his a ton of miles at 164k so that is the downside of the whole situation. I didnt get any prior repair history either aside from a sticker for the timing belt at 95k and a starter at 161k.
It is however a local Oregon one owner vehicle that has excellent paint and body, all vin stickers are present and no door dings or rust. It had a factory bug gaurd and running boards since new and I think that saved a lot of the paint.
There were a few issues with the truck after I bought it and the dealer replaced the stereo with aftermarket, flushed the cooling system, and cleaned the MAF, all on their dime. When it originally went through the used vehicle inspection the dealer also changed the oil, replaced the power antenna, replaced front brakes and rotors, and air flilter.
The deal was completed on my March 31st. Since I have had it home I went ahead and did:
-Drained and filled oils in diffs, t-case, and trans.
-Bypassed factory internal tranny cooler and added a Hayden 677
-Changed plugs and wires
-Removed and cleaned t-body and ICV
-Replaced fuel filter
-Added OEM mud gaurds to work with the OEM black flares
Oh, and when I traded in my Frontier I had about 6k on the 265/75/16 Goodyear Duratracs and figured it was worth the extra $200 to keep them and have them mounted and ballanced on the runner.
Future: I would like to go with the OME 881/890 suspension package, but am debating due to the mileage on the vehicle. Not sure if it would be a waste. Also like the looks of the ARB Tacoma bumper that, but same dilemma.
Anyway, sorry for the long thread and detail. I couldnt upload pics for some reason but here is a link a picture of it on a 4runner forum. Mine is on post #2:
