    I thought SR5 and Limited were their own separate trim levels?

    Well mine was special ordered from Japan by Suko the owner of National Cable Construction in 95. So it’s a very “Limited” run. I have seen one more with my badging but it was in very ruff shape looks like it sat under trees or something for awhile. Very weathered..

    You sure you didn't just add an emblem? Why would some rich CEO order a 4Runner?

    The SR5 in the suspension or engine/trans or something. The “Limited” is the VIN etched windows, leather seats with bagged lumbar support, alarm, wood trim, stuff like that..

    These two green T4Rs may look virtually identical, but they are not...

    How do I know this?

    Well, for starters both were photographed in the same place...

    The 4Runner in the previous post has General Grabbers, while the one in these photos has Goodyear Wranglers (and also this one has its tailgate emblems while the first one has been debadged)!

    I can’t stand the hood scoop. Glad they started that after mine was produced..

    I'll bet a 1996 Mercedes isn't worth anywhere near what an 1996 4Runner is worth...

    Like what do you mean. I think she got the Mercedes in 99 or something?

    If it's an E320 or some entry-level model, that thing is worth barely two grand...

    I've got some pictures of a 1999 Benz I detailed at my old job, a 215K miles beater destined for the auction. Despite its high mileage, it ran good and the A/C was ice cold.
