2000 Toyota 4runner Must See, Excellent Condition, Supercharger, 4 Runner on 2040-cars

If you’ve been looking for a good deal of a great 4Runner this is the auction you’ve been looking for, and NO it’s not a typo…IT’S IN MICHIGAN!!!!

I bought this truck back when there was a lot of snow on the ground. I travel a lot for work and wanted a 4X4 for the bad Michigan winter. Now that the weather is better I see no reason to continue to pay insurance for 2 vehicles so it’s time for the 4Runner to go.

It’s a 2000 SR5 V6 (5VZ FE) with a Toyota supercharger. The truck and motor (3.4L) have approx. 198K, and the super charger has approx. 60K. The previous owner, who use to be a Toyota mechanic, installed it, along with a new timing belt, about 60K ago.

This is my first experience with a supercharger, and this truck runs better, faster, and with more torque than any other Toyota I have ever owned, and  I love the low pitched whine it make when I accelerate.

But, like I said I have no reason to pay for 2 vehicles so my loss is your gain…..here’s the specs.

Exterior:

The truck is 15 years old, but as you can clearly see from all the pictures it has been VERY WELL taken care of. There are a few spots of surface rust starting to show, the seam between the body panel and the rear bumper, the rear bumper, and a few other spots I’ve taken pictures of. The rocker panels on both sides have some pretty bad rust spots, under the vehicle, out of view, unless you’re looking for them. Other than that, the finish is fantastic, some paint chips that have been touched up, but, the best looking 15 year old 4X4 I’ve ever seen.  The wheels have some road rash, very repairable minor surface scratches. The tires are new, as you can see from the pictures, the receipt for them is in the glove box. They only have about 15K on them, and have recently been rotated. The emblems on the back of the truck have been removed, and the rear taillights have been replaced with black-outs, there are black window guards,  black bug guard, and a front brush guard, black, which makes for a fantastic look.

Interior:

The condition of the interior is also fantastic, there is a rip in the rear seat, and a stain in the cargo area, other than that it’s near perfect. There are no rips in the driver’s seat where that usually wear out, the original cargo cover is still there, and fully functional. There is an aftermarket AM/FM/CD/DVD/GPS touch screen in the dash, and the dash panel has been filled out to fit it. This truck is incredibly clean even under the rear seats are spotless. The floor mats are aftermarket but they look good in the truck, front and rear. Everything in the truck works fine, PW, PL, PM, moon roof, heat, and cold AC, the rear window goes up and down, all gauges work fine, and the dash lights for ABS, 4X4, OD Off, cruise, brake, and everything else are functional, and there are NO warning lights on as you can see from the picture of the truck going down the road.

Under the Hood:

As you can see from the photo’s the motor is clean (well taken care of), the timing belt cover had to be notched to fit the supercharger. There is a K&N air filter, just cleaned. I had to replace the knock sensors, so I also put in new plugs (1 step colder, as recommended for the supercharger), wires, PCV valve, drive belt, and all new gaskets. I had to replace the battery, see receipt. I also installed a remote starter. The latch for the hood is sticky and doesn’t always latch the first time.

Overall:

There is one small chip in the bottom of the windshield, out of view, and the power antenna has been replaced with a rigid mast antenna, but reception is fine. The clear coat around the hood scoop is starting to peal. I had the oil changes done at the dealership, and they did a thorough inspection of brakes, suspension, etc., and found no problems. I have the Car Fax for the truck, there was one small incident that lists as minor damage but otherwise a clear report. I will email it upon request. The emergency brake doesn't work. 

Although this truck has almost 200K on it, based on my opinion of the condition of this truck, it has at least another 100K left on it. And possible more if you continue to take care of this truck.
