Sold!!!!
I've only put 2,000 miles in almost a year and a half. The entire build including tires has less than 7,000 miles. And it's only seen dirt a few times. I am selling to buy and build up an FZJ80, (so possible trades considered or for 4 door Tacoma).
Vehicle;
1995 4runner SR5 original white and pin striping, PW, PL, PM, Air conditioner blows cold, rear heater, everything works, clean title, clean carfax, (not a salvaged vehicle!), with 3.0 liter V6 with R150 5 speed transmission with V6 adapter plate to gear driven 23 spline T case with 4.7 lowered gears. It has a Toyota 1985 solid axle with 5.29's and Detroit lockers in front and rear axles. TG front bumper with M8000 winch in front brand new, with new style Marlin rear bumper and rock sliders. Viar OBA. Clean inside and out. Even the undercarriage is very clean, with no visible rust. The interior is very clean except for a tear in the drivers seat. The body is the original paint with no sign of accidents. There is 207k miles on odometer. I have "Plasti-Dip'd" the chrome on mirrors, grill, (which was removed prior to), rear license frame, and Centerline wheels. This can be simply be peeled off if you don't like it. The only prep work for the Plasti-Dip was degreasing, so no damage from sanding was done.
Here's the history of last two owners, all this jives with Carfax;
12/10/2009 - 9/15/2010 - This owner did the build of this vehicle over the course of approximately 9 months. In addition to all the mods he did, he also put a 91 rebuilt motor, (with new timing belt, water pump and tensioner were replaced too).
9/15/2010 - 5/27/2011 - This is who I bought it from in Visalia. He bought it and used it to commute to work mostly and put about 5,000 miles on it, and sold it because he was going through a divorce. This owner also had a new clutch, Odyssey battery, and Viar OBA system installed, and had the allpro crossmember driveline brake finished.
I have owned it since 5/2011 and put about 2,000 miles since, and I've taken it to Bald Mountain twice in the last year and a half. Winch has never been used! When I did the most recent tune up in June 2012 cylinder compression was 175-190 in all 6 cylinders. Motor runs strong for a 3.0L. It doesn't burn or leak any fluids.

This truck has been great to me so far. Drives straight down the road, (sways a bit in the turns with no anti-sway bar
, and pulls great on the highway. Since I've owned it I've changed engine oil changed in June 2011 @ 205,300 miles and May 2012 @ 207,134 miles with 10/30 mobil 1 synthetic.

New radiator core @ 207,155 miles. Clean carfax from when I bought it in hand. Two sets of Keys and Fobs. Also as said above; I have "Plasti-Dip'd" the chrome on mirrors, grill, (which was removed prior to), rear license frame, and Centerline wheels. This can be simply be peeled off if you don't like it. The only prep work for the Plasti-Dip was degreasing, so no damage from sanding was done.Asking $9200 OBO. Truck is in Fresno, CA. I am willing to trade either for an FZJ80, or 4 door tacoma.
