Description

I am selling my 1998 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4x4 with the rear E-Locker. I purchased this vehicle in 2022 from a close friend who had it in their family since 2006. They had no intention of getting rid of the vehicle until they experienced the infamous lower ball joint failure that plagues this generation of Toyota 4x4’s. I proceeded to repair the vehicle myself and continued to perform various off-road upgrades and regular maintenance to the vehicle to help improve it’s longevity and reliability. This rig has been a trusty workhorse for me and my friend’s family over the years and has never let anyone down. It has been a Colorado Car its whole life with regular maintenance and oil changes and is accident free. It recently passed the Colorado Emissions test with flying colors. I am sad to sell it but with the recent move to Utah I no longer have space or a need for this vehicle. I will include a recent carfax report for you as well. Considering the maintenance and upgrades I believe this is a fair asking price and I am only open to legitimate offers. Cash only. Recent maintenance; -Fresh oil and filter change -Transmission filter with fluid change -Coolant flush/change with thermostat -Brake Booster -Front axle seals/fluid change (June 2023) -Fuel pump (June 2023) -New OEM power steering pump and rack (Parts receipt attached, May 2023) -Valve cover gasket (October 2022) -OEM lower ball joints (October 2022) -Timing belt/waterpump, fan clutch, and spark plugs (2021) -Rear brakes serviced/adjusted (2021) Alternator replaced (December 2020) upgrades; -4xinnovations front, transmission, and transfer case steel skid plates and Rock sliders -BudBuilt rear differential skid plate -ARB front bumper with Smitty Built XRC Gen 3 9500 lb synthetic line winch -Snorkel -Bilstein 5100 front shocks with front OME 881 coils, Bilstein 5100 long travel rear shocks with OME 891 coils for 2.5 inches of total lift -Freedom off-road upper control arms for 2-4 inches of lift -Toyota Tundra Brake upgrade 13WE 199mm (New Bosh brake pads included) -Front extended travel CV axles -Durobump bump stops front and rear -Koyorad aluminum 3 pass radiator -Hayden 679 external transmission cooler -Rear differential Breather Mod -BFG KO2 tires with brand new full size matching spare (10k miles on tires) -3rd gen tacoma TRD off-road 16 inch rims The Bad; The only real quarks to this vehicle are the squeaky front ceramic brakes, when turning the car on or the AC on the drive belts squeal a bit then it goes away and squeals intermittently when driving with the AC on (air conditioning blows ice cold, likely just needs tightening/adjustment) -The ABS light has been on since the lower ball joint failed, I believe it snagged the wheel speed sensor wiring. I’ve driven it this way for nearly 3 years. -Minor scratches/blemishes on the body with fading paint on hood and roof. Driver side mirror not matching. -Needs new front lower control arm bushings, they are original and worn. I have New White line bushings which I will include along with new Bosch Brake pads. -It leaks some oil from the oil pan gasket and rear main seal. I have tried AT205 reseal and that has seemed to help.
