AspenFJ40,
It just depends on what your plans are for the vehicle. I would go with the LC due to my need for a larger vehicle.
LC = larger, slower, worse gas mileage, more expensive to repair, solid axle and two lockers++
4runner = smaller, faster, better gas mileage, less expensive to repair, low mileage replacement engines for $1500, ifs (good for moderate wheeling), rear locker
I know several people who have over 200,000 mi. on their 3.4v6 and still running strong. Those are good motors too and replacements are VERY available.
I would consider a vehicle inspection by a reputable mechanic unless you are a 4 star wrench.
