:luxhello:
Very cool find, and I guess this is better then selling the kids and keeping the Zuk!

It have the electric locker? $800 from the dealer set up ready to go with your choice of gear from 4.10, 4.30 and 4.56! You will need to modify the housing if it didn't come with the locker but you sure can't do a ARB for the price. :drool:

Retrofit electrical to actuate it.

They also sell the leocker but you can usually hagle with the dealer and get it around $800. Check at http://www.tacomaterritory.com/ for how to get a discount at the dealer on the locker.

Welcome back to the Toyota world!

Congrats Jeff! I'm sure you're gonna love it. :clapsmile

As far as the timed course, we'll see if it was just driver error ...

So who's buying the timed course dominator? :ylsmoke:

Thanks for that info, I'll check into it. Just subscribed to 4wd Toyota Owner magazine ... this is going to be costly.

Probably an auction once the dealership realizes what they have. The salesman gave it 8 out of 10 for appearance - nobody ever looked under it to see the gouges on the frame. It's a great little vehicle, but I had run it hard.

 

[jeffryscott]

Congratulations that is a great price!
... and I just bought this! Well similar and I hope it gets to look like this Runner soon!

Congrats as well, did you keep the Lexus as well?

 

[VikingVince]

Congrats on a good deal, Jeff:exclaim: Good choice for YOU and your family:jumping:

 

[LexusAllTerrain]

Congrats as well, did you keep the Lexus as well?

Thanks and sorry for the kidnap, as for the Lexus I will keep untill toyoya comes up with the new design or body style on the Landcruiser. I would consider the Land Rover LR3, however they have too many issues.

Congrats Jeff...and with 68,000 miles! That's fricken great!

Now that I have looked at your avitar, I have seen your old Suzuki running around town in the past.

If you need a great Toyota mechanic, I have been using Dan's ToyShop over on First and Ft Lowell. He has been very honest and knowledgeable. Good prices too.

I have been going there for 14 years, it was Bill's then Rey's. Still a great shop even with all of the owner changes.

Jeff, congrats on your new vehicle:victory: . While it is a Toyota, I will forgive that fact because it is not white . You are just not the go with the flow kinda guy.

Congratulations Jeff, that is a steal and a beautiful truck too. I can't wait to see what the "after" pictures look like. :victory:

 

[jeffryscott]

here are some pics from today. Compared to the Zuk, this thing is huge.

Differences: It is so smooth on washboard. Quiet and so much more comforatable. And for a stock vehicle, pretty flexy. But of course, I want more ...:hehe:

The Zuk was certainly much more nimble, and with the locker I could just point it and go. I know once I get used to the 4Runner, I'll be much more comfortable with it's size.

Anyway, here are some pics:

I was driving down Speedway today when a crazy man in a gold 4Runner came shooting up beside me blowing his horn! It looks immaculate, Jeff; what a great find.

 

[LexusAllTerrain]

A very very nice 4runner, great find, looks very clean.:sombrero:

 

[Desertdude]

Real nice! you are in what we call Toyota heaven...:victory:

Welcome to the family
