Lookin 4 a 4Runner

[herodutus]

Hi there

Am lookin around for a 3.0 4Runner (Don't want a surf cos I don't like the wheel on the back, my apologies)

I was hoping to get one for around £5000. I've seen a few on Autotrader for this but none have really been the right colour. I need it this cheap cos I'll be bringing it back to Ireland where I'll have to pay a substantial tax for the honour.

Am I crazy or can anyone help.

Ideally I would like one in black/bright blue and manual (only if possible, Automatic would do just fine).

Many thanks

Gwyn.

not all Surfs have the rear mounted spare - in fact it's only standard on the SSR-G (the top of the range). SSR-X it's an option on and generally the SSR doesn't have it.

I have an SSR-x with it on but I'm going to be putting mine underneath as I'm fed up with having to move it out the way everytime I go in the back.

You should be able to get a 3.0V6 runner for £5000 relatively easy, a 3.0TD Surf would likely be a bit more than that.

Only thing is that 4Runners seem to be a bit rarer than Surfs these days there are so many of the imports coming in.

One other thing about the Runner - you won't get AC on a Runner, only on a Surf.

Cheers

In a way I was hoping someone would prove me wrong on the wheel. I just haven't seen them without so far.

I don't mind missing out on the A/C to be honest, being cheaper is more important A 3-inch lift is planned and the addition of 33x14.5 Mickey Thompson Baja Belted HPs. (Unless someone comes along and tells me I can't fit them, which wouldn't surprise me.) I won't be off-roading!

Thanks for confirming I'm not totally out of my nut though looking for that price!

I could be wrong but with those tyres I would think you will need to go at least 4 inches on the lift (not so much the diameter, more the width. You will probably need to relieve the arches somewhat with the help of an angle grinder.

You could do a 2 inch suspension lift and a 2 inch body lift which would mean you won't need to modify other things (steering, gear lever, CV joints, Propshaft UJs) too much if at all.

Sounds like it will be a real fun and good looking truck.

Cheers and good hunting.

My ex is talking about getting shot of her 4Runner, its a black 93' V6. She wants a normal car for some reason, must be her new boyfriends influence!



£5000 isn't unreasonable for a good average truck.

I can ask if she's serious, I have the truck at the moment as I'm fitting a new exhaust for her....
