2000 4Runner Limited 2wd
Parts or Repair
376,000 Miles.
I owned this 4Runner for 4 years and she never let me down. Was trading it on my new car, and the radiator developed a leak, so instead of ruining the engine I pulled it over and parked it at a friends house.
The good
Absolutely rust free body and frame. Cleaned up looks very nice. Some minor issues obviously.
Ran great, no tranny issues, brakes and everything fine. Was Super reliable. ICE Cold air, great Kenwood Stereo
The Bad
One of the reasons I was trading it was in the past before I got it, some idiot stripped a plug helicoil, and jb welded the plug in. It has went almost 200,000 miles like that, but the plug is starting to miss because it is worn out. If you can get the plug out and re helicoil it, your in business. More likely it needs the head removed and properly repaired at a machine shop. ALSO you can buy a 60,000 mile JDM engine on Ebay for around a grand and it'll run 350,000 more miles.
Obviously needs a radiator. If you replace the radiator you can drive it anywhere, but it will miss.
The Passenger window button needs replaced, otherwise fine. passenger inside door handle needs installed I have it somewhere.
I put the Limited Wheels and my brand new BF Goodrich Rugged Terrains on my 97 4Runner. So the ones on it now are from a 97. It will drive on them, I drove it from Key West to Keystone Heights with no issues.
As any questions. If I had the room I would fix it and get 3500.00 for it in a second,
