WTB: 4th Gen 4runner

Looking for a 4th gen 4runner. Under 135k miles and 4wd are my only necessities. I would prefer white, silver, or charcoal, but color isnt a make or break issue for me. Leaning more toward 06+ models, but will consider an 03-05. Either motor is ok with me. Will consider stock to built to the hilt.

Hmm. What's your price range? I've been toying with selling mine for a 100-series LC if I can get a decent price for my 4Runner.

edit: mine's an '05 Sport, V6, 115k, Salsa Red Pearl - spacer lift, 265-70's Terra Grappler's with ~15k on them, grey leather, nav, tinted windows, etc. Nothing serious, pretty much been a pavement queen ( :( )

^^^ Along the same lines as the last post -- I'd part with mine, mostly because it's not the most comfortable vehicle. OTOH, it's incredibly well-built, and fits all my needs for something like this, so I'm not really looking to unload it. So... same question on what price range you're looking at.

I wrote up a list for a potential "for sale" ad awhile back, but never got around to doing anything with it. I cut-and-pasted it below. It's very, very clean.

2008 4Runner SR5
V6
5-speed automatic transmission
4WD (switchable 2WD/ fulltime 4WD/ part-time 4WD/ high & low range)
Silver exterior, black/gray interior (cloth)

Misc comments:
Approx. 53K miles. One owner, Nevada vehicle, clean title (title in hand), non-smoker.
Excellent condition. No dents, no rust, only a few small rock chips.
All records since new. Synthetic oils in engine, transfer case, and differentials. Iridium NGK plugs. Fumoto quick oil-drain valve installed.

Note: 2008 has factory VSC-off switch and standard side + curtain airbags

Factory options
Leather wrapped steering wheel & gear shift knob
Steering wheel mounted controls for stereo
Cargo area retractable cover
Sunroof
Rear spoiler
Roof rack w/ crossbars (crossbars currently removed)
17” 5-spoke aluminum wheels
Tow package (7-way harness at rear, and tow hitch, which was replaced by the hitch as part of the aftermarket rear bumper)
Daytime running lights

Aftermarket stuff

Interior:
-Husky liner floor mats: front, rear, and cargo area
-Marathon “superhide” cordura seat covers (solid gray color): front and rear, including headrests and armrests
-Husky liners and seat covers were installed when the 4R was brand new. Everything underneath is perfect.
-Pioneer AVIC-X920BT touchscreen navigation/DVD/MP3/Bluetooth etc. head unit. Full ipod control, microSD slot, Bluetooth mic is mounted at top of driver's A pillar. Bypassed the “parking brake must be on” setting, so navigation can be entered while vehicle is in motion. Steering wheels controls work – PAC SWI-PS kit installed to run aftermarket stereo.

Exterior:
-Relentless Fabrication aluminum front and rear bumpers, powdercoated black. Shackle tabs on both. 2” receiver on rear.
-Relentless Fabrication rocker sliders/steps, coated in DIY Rustoleum bedliner.
-Engo E9000 winch mounted in front bumper, with synthetic line. Aluminum hawse fairlead.
-LED offroad lights mounted in front bumper, controlled via factory fog light switch. Factory fog light bypass done (can run the LED lights independent of headlights, but still requires ignition keyed on).
- PIAA 510 “super white” driving lights mounted on top of front bumper, wired to accessory fuse box using PIAA harness with relay. Wired to Daystar switch mounted in dash blank to left of steering wheel.
-Xenon Depot 4300K HID headlight conversion in factory projector headlamps (low beam only).
-DieHard Platinum PM-1 (Odyssey) size 31M in stock location. Massive battery.
-Blue Sea fuse box under hood for accessories
-Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor P255/75/17 tires (five) on factory 5-spoke wheels, good tread, even wear. Spare has been rotated in as part of usage. Spare fits in factory position under rear of vehicle.
-Bilstein 5100 shock absorbers: leveling shocks for front end set at 1.75” position with factory coils. Rear is on Moog coils for FJ Cruiser. Rides well.
-I brushed on POR-15 over the beginning superficial rust on the frame, about 2-3 years ago. The factory frame paint just isn't very good. The POR-15 is holding up well.

What it doesn't have
It's a SR5, not Sport model – no XREAS suspension
No third row seats
No double decker cargo tray thing
No JBL system – factory 6-speaker audio. Sounds much better with the Pioneer head unit than it did with the factory stereo.
