Well, you guys have me convinced. I'm narrowing my sights on a 1999 4Runner. I have to get the sale of the house finalized in January before I can make the purchase though.

I'm also going to keep an eye open for a later 3rd gen (2000-2002), and if it has low miles I may go that way and add an ARB locker or two later.

Thanks for all the very helpful insights!


IIRC all the 3rd gen runners had an e-locker as an option, this would be the only reason I would have for buying one. Then all you would need is a mild body lift to be happy (for me to be happy at lease).
