    Hey y'all. Super new to this forum, but active on TacomaWorld. I have a 95 SR5 V6 for sale that could be an awesome starting point for a build. Scroll for TL;DR.

    A 4Runner of this age will typically be full of rust holes, but this is one of the cleanest examples I’ve seen in Michigan/Ohio. Body and frame are both solid, with a full body re-spray in the factory Evergreen metallic done in 2017.

    I have only owned this 4R for two+ years, but it’s been a ton of fun riding with all the windows down, and it’s gone wherever I’ve asked it to – from hauling groceries around town, to an 8+ hour drive north to the UP [Upper Peninsula of Michigan, for non-locals – it’s that sliver of land that looks like it should be part of Wisconsin.]

    The Basics:
    - 1995 4Runner SR5
    - 3.0L V6 (3VZ) engine
    - Automatic transmission
    - 4x4 (true 4 wheel drive, not AWD)
    - Factory Differential Lock
    - 31x10.5xR15 Tires
    - ~200K miles (just under – currently my daily)
    - Power windows, locks, moon roof
    - Rear passenger heater controls

    It’s important to note that this has a salvage – rebuilt title in the state of Michigan (orange title). The previous owner had to replace the bumper and the hood (low speed impact with an object, but vehicle had low value to insurance) and it passed inspection with flying colors. Since I have owned it I have done the following replacements/maintenance:

    3/15/2017 190,812
    Air Box, EGR Vacuum Splitter
    Timing Belt
    Radiator
    Tire Rotation / Oil Change
    CHMSL (3rd Brake Light)

    5/24/2017 192,264
    Inner tie Rod, Idler Arm
    Alignment
    Alternator
    4 Tires: Toyo Open Country ATII (31x10x5x15
    (Lifetime tire balance, rotation, flat repairs - Belle Tire)

    6/9/2017
    Full Exterior Re-paint - no rust found during stripping

    8/4/2017 195,511
    Tire Rotation / Oil Change
    Transmission Flush
    Radiator Fan Clutch, Fan Shroud
    Coolant Outlet Lines

    1/4/2018
    Battery: Autocraft Gold Gr 24, 700 CCA (3 Yr. Replacement)
    Front Brake Pads, Rotors, Calipers

    7/28/2018 199,399
    Tire Rotation / Oil Change


    The only issues of which I am aware are that the A/C is currently not working and neither is the front windshield washer spray. Sometimes the A/C control backlighting goes out, but changing the mode or the fan speed resolve the issue immediately; it has its quirks. I have had none of these diagnosed, so it could be as simple as a system recharge or flush, or as complicated as component replacements. Oh, and on my drive up to the UP the antenna decided to break off, but the radio still works and the signal is just fine.

    TL;DR:

    - 1995 4Runner SR5, automatic, 4WD, 200k miles

    - Fully capable of daily driving/long trips (recently made an 8+ hour trip without issue)

    - Re-painted in 2017

    - Salvage Rebuilt title (caused by a low speed front impact – bumper and hood replaced; inspected prior to my purchasing it and passed)

    - Solid Body and Frame (was a California vehicle)

    - New battery, newer tires, new radiator

    - No A/C currently (not a huge deal since it has a ton of windows/sunroof)

    - No windshield washer fluid spray currently (undiagnosed – recent development)

    Would make an awesome base for a resto-mod or offroad/overland rig.

    I very much would like to think so; but suspect not.
