    just bought my first 1997 4runner as a family build to go camping with our sons boy-scout troop.

    It’s a project for sure. Missing front diff and all the components.
    so wish us luck as we try to restore it.

    Oh man! This brings me great memories growing up. Does this 4runner have the ETC Power buttons by the shifter? Used to push those buttons and held on for dear life from the power!
