Alright, I'll play. I picked this up over a month ago, thus ending my 2-year on-and-off hunt for my ideal 4Runner. Here's what I found. It's a 2009 SR5 4WD V6 with only 50,000 miles, meticulously babied by the previous owner, who owned his own architectural firm in Flagstaff, Arizona.



Scooped it up from a Toyota dealership so it came with a Toyota 3 year / 36,000 mile extended warranty, which I guess is nice. I've already done a few things, and have a few things in store for my unicorn. Plan is to keep it looking very OEM & factory, but have already done a few things & have a few plans:

• OEM Toyota Accessory 2" Weight-Distributing Tow Hitch sourced from a local dismantler
• Blasted and powder-coated hitch for clean look and durability
• Trimming the lower center of the rear bumper for factory hitch
• OEM Toyota Accessory Hitch hardware & "close-off" piece
• Thule 2-bike hitch-mounted carrier (non-frame mounted)
• Weather tech all-weather floor mats protected the carpet since new
• OEM Perforated steering wheel (forgot which model this will come from)
• Bluetooth cockpit phone interface
• Canadian-spec instrument cluster (KM/H primary)
• Original 4Runner Accessory exhaust tip (came in trunk, just installed)
• Lamin-X fog light protection
• Headlamp lens restoration
• Fix the dent on the hood
• Upgrade the speakers in the cabin to something slightly nicer
• Professionally undercoat the frame rails/undercarriage

Down in San Diego before making the drive / move up to SF last month.

Hopefully I can get something cool going with it, at the very least some obnoxious livery and a topper.

No itasha pickup; no care

Nice truck Wschnitz! Look forward to seeing it in August.

I'm really looking forward to that trip... I just ordered some stuff to get my truck ready for it. Really hoping I can squeeze an RTT into the budget, but with the E30 and dirtbike stuff... I dunno if I'll be able to swing it.

And here's a pic I took yesterday

Agreed that $70k is outrageous, but when I was looking at vehicles in '16 the TRDs around here were going for something close to $48k with absolutely no options. I didn't see any fully loaded ones, but I'd guess they'd all be in the $52-55k range.

LOL dealer add on "demand charges" are kinda BS but I get it but 10k is a bit much

here for those that cant look it 42,875 msrp 1 trim plus your options like floor mats and shit and I know some dealers come off that a bit like my local one sells for 41.5ish

I was thinking of swapping to 35x14.5s next.

It is finished, I have done it, my pain and torture is over.

WTF whom ever is paying 70k for a off the line TRD pro send them my way, I have water front property in New Mexico I want to sell........

MSRP for a TRD Pro is about 43.5k Just slightly less than a full option Limited. My local yota store sells them for about 41.5 give or take almost every week. With about 2-5k off the sticker for Limiteds and SR5s.....

Yes I have heard of some dealers tacking on a demand charge of 5-10k over sticker but 30k over MSRP is OVER THE TOP...... For 70k I would just pony up the extra 7 grand and get a 200 at that point.......
