TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

I would love to flip this for a 1st gen. OP won't way whether it runs though.

 

Hmm not bad but yeah pretty much a part out vehicle. Those bumpers look pretty good but the front is tweaked for sure.

It kind of occurred to me today to flip this one for a 1st gen. Might work out well in my favor.

 

Would y'all buy a 2006 SR5 4x4 v8 with 170,000 miles? Every 5,000 service/other maintenance was done at the Toyota dealer and it is bone stock.

 

Could probably still get $200 easy for the front. Keep the rear till I get a swing out. Flip the suspension and misc. other parts. I'd break even at least, come out with a free bumper

 

Depending on price, yes

 

$10,900. Throwing around the idea of trading for an older Toyota to get rid of payments. Plus the v8 in the runner is awesome

 

Both belt and water pump replaced less than 60k miles ago I believe. Can't remember what the service record said

 

I'd consider it. Seems a little high but I don't know the 4th gen market. I can say I feel more comfortable buying a slightly higher mileage 4runner with great service history over one with fewer and no service history.
Of course, that's not always the case

 

Sounds like a good deal to me. Granted I'm in the Bay Area and prices are ridiculous. Don't worry about the mileage, the V8 is a great engine and will last way past 200k. I have 150k on mine right now and it runs like new.

60k isn't bad on the TB and WP but the V8 is a interference engine so shit will go bad if it breaks. You have a while to deal with that.

Nice thing about the 06 is the vvti engine and mid year upgrades.

 

I only drive ~18,000 miles a year so they don't add up that fast either.

 

Yeah my work total only amounts to maybe 7500 a year. The rest is fishing and hunting miles.

 

Going back to selling the Tacoma again?

 

what app is that?

 

AutoCare

 

Thank you

 

Always in the back of my mind haha. I'm one of those people that change vehicles too often

 

If it's a 99+ I'd love the center console haha I'm so sick of spilling drinks in my truck cause of no cupholders.

 

Wish I could help you out there but it's a 97

 

Damn. Thanks anyway!
