Maintained by the poster child of OCD anal retentive personality disorders for requiring perfection in all things.

I also posted a similar thread on the Gen 3 forum, but I thought maybe I should have posted here instead? I'll do both. I can justify shameless promotion for the benefit of others.

I am Ken. I live in Denver, CO. My best friend from H.S. in '67 died recently. He owned this 2001 4-Runner since 2010. His widow, Donna, does not drive, never has, is selling the truck in Beckley, WV.

She gave me permission to post for him. He had been a brief member here. We're not sure if he joined others.

She has the 4-Runner in the shop right now getting a steel front bumper and new skid plate installed. Both items had been purchased by Mike last year. The new front bumper will match the rear off-road bumper he installed last year. Welded on bumpers, installed by an ASE shop, which has been working on the truck since 2010. Mike saved every receipt for everything. Total receipts...$27,426.

It's basically a standard '91 4-Runner SR5, 160,000 miles, 3 inch lift kit and off-road bumpers front and rear, with upgraded heavy duty rear springs. Additionally with Mike being the poster child for anal retentive automotive care, the regularily sheduled maintenance and total cleanliness are exemplary.

Neither of us have a clue about 4-Runners. Her first inclination is to submit it to Bring-A-Trailer and see what kind of reserve they give her. She thinks 10 grand is high, I think it might be a little low, after I've seen the receipts. He made a ton of stuff brand new.

Are we full of it, or what? Brutal honesty is acceptable.

The front bumper (pics coming) is a 4-Runner Schrock Works from Vivid Racing in Gilbert, AZ. Here's the website. The one he ordered has standard width, black powder coat, top tubing, center hoop, headlight guards, lights in bumper, clevis shackles.

The rear bumper is by Tactical Armor Group, Inc. of Douglasville, GA, now out-of-business, upgraded rear springs to handle the additional weight.










Mike was using a magnetic CB antenna but there is a permanent CB antenna mount on the spare holder behind the spare tire




I fairly certain he has a 3 inch lift kit.



Any painting by Mike was preceded by days of soaking in naval jelly, several coats of primer and enamel paint. He liked his colors and shiny lines.


Getting Donna to go under there for pics will be challenging.


Donna sent me the receipts. I'm putting them in chronological order by date in page protectors in a binder. All receipts 2010- 2018. Total of all receipts, $27,000

 

Eight years, $27,426

Do you have more pics of the frame?

 

Coming soon, it's still at the shop getting the front bumper wiring finished.

 

Interior pics. Donna did not have a selfie-strick for under frame shots so I had one sent to her. Under body shots coming next week.



or pics

 

More interior

 

Donna had to walk half a mile to get the pics. She knows she'll have to go back to get pics of the seats without the seat covers.

 

Seats without covers. it's getting a new middle skid plate. underneath pics coming.

 

A local is coming to look at it the 4-Runner on Monday. Donna said, " If he offers $9,000, I'll counter-offer $11,000."

 

Photo of the new OEM fuel tank skid plate being installed.

 

Looks like fuel tank skid from that shot.

 

It is indeed

 

Thanks for the help. Fuel tank skid plate. Text corrected.

 

Did you sell the Bronco? My mom’s (from Anawalt, WV) Bday present to me was a charitable donation to The Wounded Warriors Project this year....

 

The Bronco is not sold, but Donna has a solid potential looker who is the nephew of the customer of the mechanic who happens to know that the nephew is getting a $4000 IRS return any day or already got it.

Solid as concrete, eh?

The Wouded Warriors Project is one of, if not THE most important charity to support. Kudos to your mom for that.

 

Got four pics of the underside

 

Sorry for the late post. Is this vehicle still available?
