About this 1988 Toyota 4Runner SR5

VIN: JT3VNW6J0005537

This is a 1988 V6 SR-5 5-speed 4-wheel drive vehicle, and I have been the second owner since 1994. The 4Runner has been well-maintained, but it hasn't been driven much in the last two years and has mainly been parked with a full tank of gas. After being idle for a while, it ran a little rough, likely due to old gasoline.

The vehicle features a 2-inch lift, tinted windows, and lock-out hubs. It also comes equipped with a Pioneer radio, a 5-disc changer, and an amplifier. A Jasper engine was installed in 2004, and at that time, the vehicle had 258,387 miles.

There is no rust underneath the vehicle, but it does have minor surface rust on the passenger side above the fender well and below the side window; however, this is nothing major. The dashboard has some cracks from sun exposure, and the clear coat started to come off this year, also due to the sun. I decided against repainting it in case a buyer prefers a different color.

I have retained most of the documentation from the beginning.
