Auction Toyota 4Runner SR5 - Offroading Gone Wrong?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- While at an auto auction, I came across this wrecked Toyota 4Runner SR5. These are awesome offroad 4x4's but this one got hit pretty hard in the front. But it does have a lot of cool accessories that may make it worth buying for a full restoration. Watch until the end to see how the car looks!

That thing really might be worth fixing . It sucks they took the battery so you couldn’t hear it run but if it’s mostly cosmetic damage then that’s still a good truck
Id bet it runs
May be slight frame damage which is why insurance totaled it. But these things are stupid expensive used so I would consider it. May be able to build a nice overland rig out of it.
Someone problem
@@bendaga you should carry a jumpbox with you. A good brand is Noco. They yave a small and a big one. The small one will still start a 5.9 Cummins no problem.
@Ben Alvis literally said the same thing lol. Maybe with multiple people commenting about it he will. It would make his life way easier
That can be fixed and it will sell for a lot once it's done. I have a friend who tore half the front end off hers and the shop she sent it to got it looking brand new again
100% these in any year as long as the frame doesn’t have rust on it sell for big bucks
Easy fix.
Sure you could sell it, or you can off-road it more
She didn't do it the shop did it go back and proof read your grammar
@Mason Derrick I like the way you think
Honestly 4runners are almost always worth it. They can sell for a pretty penny just because of the offroad power they have.
Yeah they never go for cheap but very capable trucks
For just a fun offroading vehicle, you don't even need to fix all the body damage. It'll get beat up anyways.
101k miles, so for a 4Runner, just broken in ;)
What you think nobody knows that ?
Nothing like a low powered v-6…
Power, lol, Snoogans!
That icon suspension ooooooh 🤤
Good eye!
Yeeep first thing I saw
Very nice suspension looks like a stage 3 or so has the UCAs but no reservoir, worth a couple grand right there
@@HughMongasWhat nice I’ve been looking at getting an icon set up definitely a couple grand, that 4Runner is nice
While he was paying more attention to the wheels
i never knew i’d be into auction videos lol but here i am! good stuff man
thanks man - glad you're here with us
Im actually considering getting a car from an auction 😂😂 looks like you can get pretty good deals huh
Anything Toyota that’s
I have 3 3rd Gen 4Runners 97 330k 98 278k 99 250k . Drive any of the 3 anywhere with no worries. They ain't mall crawling pavement princess either. The only bad thing about a 4Runner is purchase price ouch....after that just enjoy it.
Was tech in shop we hated 4Runners and Taco's can't make money when all you do is oil change, and brake pads and rotors occasionally.
@@galeaiken3841 Most repairs that I have seen for 4runners are fairly hefty. We got a lot of them with differential problems, that are not going to fall under warranty, that and they rust like a mfkr. I can name a bunch of common issues but to say you cant make money on them is not true cus when they break its really bad and expensive.
Hell Yeah it's worth restoring! That bad boy's got loads of potential
Yep. Mine just turned 388,000 miles. It's still running like a beast.
Found myself binging these can’t stop lol
Worth restoring!
It's a good project to work with it..... 🔥
4Runners and tacomas are always a safe bet when you’re looking to flip something. They have a really strong following who aren’t afraid to open up their pockets for a good one
Those side steps and that exhaust in a pinch point, definitely a mall crawler who got called out
I hit an 8 point buck with mine a cpl years ago. Dead center hit after 6k in repairs its like new again. Surprising to see it there in that condition.
Since its a Toyota, People are queue up to take it and rework on it and it will still run totally fine ❤
Someone who knows mechanics could definitely make that work very nicely, gold brother, gold
We put 389k miles on our 2005 Runner and still managed to sell it for half of what we paid for it when new! Go for it!
That’s impressive!
Lots of mile left on this baby. TLC and good to go. I own one. I plan to make it my last truck. She’s a beast.
Do it! The exposed frame where the crash bar was is most likely the product of them removing their offroad bumper and reusing it elsewhere
I always loved these 4runners
This would be worthy to get back on the road again
Or even off-road
Definitely; as long as it wasn’t swamped (submerged) it shouldn’t be to bad to repair. Get the frame checked / pulled if need be and put aftermarket bumper & lights in. Easy $$
only 101k? that engines hardly even been broken in
LOL true though
Makes me miss my 4Runner. I had a 2002 Limited with a 4 inch lift, 2 inch body lift 33’s, arb bumpers front and rear, arb locker and the icing on the cake - a TRD
super charger. The thing was an absolute dog but it went anywhere I pointed it
Definitely looks like it would be worth restoring. I've got a lot of respect for people willing to offroad in what's still a pretty new truck
"$32,500 no low balling bc I know what I have"
- Owner of every 4Runner like this
Lmao
If there was mud inside they drove it through some deep water and practically flooded it Imaging the rust underneath. All the hidden damage.
Doubt this 5th gen has any rust. Driving through a creek, should be fine as he had a snorkel on which keeps crap from getting in the airbox. Unless they drowned the entire thing.
Battery would be worthless to use, but probably brought it to O reillys to get a dollar off it. And took off the bullbar to put on fb marketplace
I'm a Toyota fan so I would. With all of mods it adds on the value of the car
My cadillac was totalled in the front end once. We beat the crash bar with a hammer until it fit, then put the front end back together and never had a problem
Yes it’s absolutely beautiful
That thing is a beauty. It’s in good condition. Outside damage is nothing it’s a Toyota and a 4Runner at that. Most definitely worth fixing
Totally worth it. Just from one peak the front suspension components are top notch. Instead of fixing the front bumper with OEM scrap all of that and do a real Off-road bumper. I'm surprised they let the insurance company take the car when it was totaled, most people I know are waiting for a front end accident to get a free $$$$$ bumper from insurance 😂
I had a 4runner 08 and 17. I loved both. No issues at all. I drove those hard af. Traded my 17 for a 16 tundra. Had to get something bigger for the family. Plus I hunt so it was needed.
Finally a video where it’s not raining
i love your content, keep posting it
Thank you - will do!
Definitely, the lift alone (ICON) would make it worth it
Yes worth it.. Engine itself is bulletproof 😮
Best car for restoration
Yes it is. It’s a 5th gen clean title ones with this miles are going for 27k and up in my area.
Those things are worth a lot. Especially with only 100k (hard miles though). But you’re right, owner probably wanted to see if he could save it, saw the frame rails and got spooked off.
Those are amazing off road machines.. too bad couldn’t start it but if runs well .. I’d take it
Seems intentional to make a lot of people question it the same
Absolutely worth it. Go for it
Of course it’s worth it. It’s a Toyota. I have a 05 4Runner with 300k+ miles on it. Still runs perfect. 😊
100 000 miles that engine is just broken inn ❤
I would bid , the resale on these is ridiculous 😅
Just fixed one of these roof bag,seat belt, control module. Complete left side replaced . Fender,doors,1/4 panel . Right side fender,repair pass side doors .front bumper cover. It was so much more damage then this i one . I can't believe this was in the auction yard . These hold so much value. Crazy it's definitely worth it
@@josephmaxwell896 just got one with the exact damage, you got any advice ?
Those mounts on the frame are after market, and just from lack of center piece in the bumper, it had a low profile metal bumper. It has an Icon 3” lift and upper control arms, and is only using those TRD wheels as roller. Those are stock with stock tires from a Pro. He more than likely had 33’s on here.
It had an after market front steel bumper that holds a winch and light accessories. That's what would have been bolted to frame you see. That truck looks to be ok and some small aesthetics fixes needed
These vehicles are amazing. For the right price, absolutely. My dad brought a battery with him to these things
I've never heard the term "safari stripes"
I dig it
That truck had a slimline winch bumper on it. You can tell from how the bumper cover is cut and trimmed. Those bumpers also bolt directly in the place you pointed to where the crash bar attaches. If you can pull the frame out for cheap, the rest of the front end is a pretty easy repair. My 100k mile 4Runner will still fetch north of $30k at a dealer.
Absolutely YES!
I own a 2003 4Runner, yes ! Buy it!
Bro that’s a steal! I have a 4Runner and it’s worth fixing with only 101k miles?? You could go another 500,000 miles on that thing. Also 4Runners hold their value you could sell that for a good amount.
I'm sure it runs good it's a Toyota! Worth it
He had a low pro bumper on it.. probably why he took it off after the crash , definitely a mall crawler with those step sliders. People who really off-road won’t have those, or at least any serious off-roading . Also “ huge tires" lol definitely worth Restoring, new front bumper clean the inside you’re good to go 🤘🏻
Its a toyota never dies
This is why you should bring batteries with you to the auction so you can hear if it starts runs etc
This is absolutely worth restoring. That truck with similar mileage goes for 25-30 thousand where I live.
As long as the frame isnt too tweaked... maybe you have access a frame rack machine? I'd take the battery from my truck and use it to crank it over. I bet it was running great when it wrecked. Usually cars with bad engines arent able to crash... may be a good parts unit if nothing else. I'd try to scoop it up on the cheap tho.
I would buy that so fast. I love 4Runners
I would restore it the Toyota 4 runner is my favorite Toyota😃
Yes. Worth the restore
That thing would still be awesome off road, get a weld it yourself bumper kit and you won't even have to worry about the tweaked mount.
Icon suspensions!!!!! Something I can’t afford
Put an ARB bumper on the front call it good. As long as the frame isn’t tweaked too much to cause alignment issues
Yow this is the first vid I saw where it stopped raining
Yes because it looks cool
For the right price, that is a genuine diamond in the rough
Definitely worth if you get it for the right price. Just take it to a body shop and have them pull the frame and should be good to go. Through on a new bumper and doneskies.
That is definitely worth the salvage title. I’d pick that up in a heartbeat.
I love the ZERO downtravel off-road suspension setup 😂😂
From what I can see he's got icon suspension parts. Even if you can't restore it you could sell all those parts for 5k maybe
If you have the time, skill and money, hell yes it is!
Pretty sweet suspension set up there
Fancy ass woods beater. Perfect
Prime restore candidate.
That is a for sure worth buying dude... its a 4runner.
I don’t care what anyone says but in my book any Toyota is always worth restoring
That thing would absolutely be worth restoring. Just persuade that frame rail end (iykyk) slap a bumper on that thing and hit the trails. Easily has a ton of value in preinstalled mods!
there is about $2000 worth of suspension parts on the front. looks like it had a winch mount in the front that the pervious owner kept before it got auctioned. the frame is good. that "dent" is part of the crumple zone in the front of the frame. all of them look like that.
he'll yeah its it has so much potential
Yes definitely worth money
I'd take a jump pack with me just for things like this. This truck commands alot of money especially with all the goodies still on it (which doesn't make sense that they left it all) . Absolutely worth restoring. If not for just an off road fun truck it could potentially drive on pavement again too.
I buy auction vehicles all the time. Believe when i tell you that is hardly any damage. The truck is gonna sell for alot even at auction. Batteries are not expensive. Parts are though. Bumper and pieces are all in place which means you probably only have to buy a new headlight
4Runners are always worth it, no question. The suspension and wheels are worth several grand themselves
It’s definitely worth restoring. 👍👍. Love my Tacoma!!
$4k in suspension! Hell yea! Icon 2.5 looks like stage 3
It's a Toyota, can't kill that
My jeep frame is slightly bent but just in front of the front shackle hanger so it really doesn't effect the alignment or handling so I'm not terribly worried about it. When I'm offroading I really don't care if my frame is 8th of an inch out of square or not.
if its not worth repairs, its worth parting out for sure, thats a sick 4runner
Hell yes! Get it! 👍👍
Yes. A well used Yoda is usually better than a asphalt driver
It's definitely worth it to fix it up
Yes it is totally worth it
Super sick. I always wanted a 4runner. Easily worth fixing this thing up.
This car looks like such a gladiator
Solid candidate for a solid axel swap.
Worth for sure.
That missing part of the bumper in the front is from a low pro steel bumper. Just put one of my wife’s runner. Looks like it was removed before auction.
Hell yeah it looks like it's worth restoring
Usually insurance companies will pay a shop or even an adjuster for tear down only so the estimate can be all inclusive
Looks like a great trail rig👍👍
Absolutely I have the same truck that’s gonna last forever
