I bought a new/used Toyota 4Runner a couple of weeks ago. I went to Houston to get it. It has 4wd, automatic, sunroof, cd changer, center differential lock, traction control, and so forth like a stock SR5 model would have. The great thing about it is the extras it came with thanks to the previous owner. It has an ARB rear air locker with air compressor under the hood, BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires, Sway Away Race Runner coil-over shocks on front, 2.5" lift, quick disconnect sway bar, and rock sliders.
The only bad thing I've found is the front right inner CV boot is cracked. I replaced the entire CV axle this morning instead of just the boot. I didn't want to have to do that job twice. It really wasn't that difficult to change though. I'm probably going to change the oil tomorrow since I don't know when it was changed last and they have a Fram oil filter on it. Ugh! I bought some Valvoline synthetic oil and a Wix filter to put on it.
Future plans for it consist of making it an expedition/camping type vehicle like you could find on ExpeditionPortal.com. I would like to get a new front bumper with off-road lights, new rear bumper, roof basket, snorkel, CB, and some Old Man Emu shocks on the back. The interior mods would be a drawer type system on the floor in the back to store stuff along with a platform as part of the drawer system that fills in the back so I could sleep in the back with my dog Smiley. There are lots of other small things that I'll add on here as I add them.
