    I’m new to the 4runner scene and I’m looking to buy a 94 SR5. Is there anything I should specifically be looking for when I go check it out?
    Here are the Specs I know of:
    3.0L mated to the 5 speed 4x4
    4.56 Gearing, LSD in the rear
    2.5in suspension lift
    3in body lift (supposedly body mounts are shot so probably getting removed if I buy it)
    Its running on 35’s
    Supposed Steering Play (not bad?)
    Bypassed Heater core
    Power steering leak of some variety

    Any info or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

    Biggest thing is to check for frame rust. Have it inspected by a mechanic and if you get it, I would definitely remove the body lift and go down to 33's. Steering play will either be the steering damper or it could be the actuator or just worn parts. Power steering leaks are normal for 2nd gens. Good luck.
