Just got a 99 4Runner with 91k miles. It’s very clean.
Awesome find! There must be a lot of low mileage 4runners out there!
Edm Legend how much did you paid? .. im about to get a 99 195k ...
freshko INK $4,600. It was a really good deal.
Edm Legend good price !!! 👌
@@edmlegend7224 i got a 99 4 runner from toyota dealership 150k miles 1500$
18 years one owner. Man, I would buy this from you in a flash! It looks great!
Thanks! I hope my dad sells it to me first! lol
@@kdmmods3931 Be careful what coating you use! Fluid film works but NEVER use anything that seals the frame because it will very quickly ruin the entire underbody with sealed-in rust.
I still miss my 95 SR5 4Runner. My girlfriends son drove it when it had a leaking head gasket when we told him not to while we we both were at work and warped the head. Didn't have the funds to replace so we had to sell. She is my ex-gf now and don't miss her one bit.
@Tweed Penguin There was no bus service in the town I was living in at that time. We only had about 2000 people in our town. But I moved to a suburb and yes there is bus service here.
I am really really like that generation of 4Runner's 💯
Its even better if you get the factory trd supercharger!
KDM Mods what? That was a thing? Now I’m intrigued. Mind sharing more?
@@rawzuccsauce4202 You can still buy a supercharger from magnuson since trd doesn't make it anymore. www.magnusonsuperchargers.com/product-p/01-62-34-003-bl.htm
The 4runner made around 180hp on a good day, the supercharger bumped that up to around 220-230 i believe. id really like to get one they are just expensive and then gas millage goes down and you have to use premium fuel.
That car is in excellent condition! Make sure you take good care of it. It is a classic! I have a '99 with 173k miles.
I sure will. I want to get it under coated to protect it from the Minnesota winters.
Hey Toyota 4Runner people I picked up a 1998 Toyota 4Runner SR5 for 1000 bucks. It needs a little bit of work but what do y'all think about that price?
I'm so excited I always wanted a 4Runner in the 90s but they were always too expensive for me thank God for this opportunity I pray to either enjoy it or flip it and make a good profit on it I think 1998 on average are going over $4,000
God bless you keep on rolling in freedom Jesus is the way
You still own it? Still have mine. Its the exact rig as yours, but silver paint color. Original owners 220k, and just did the major maintenance schedule, with new timing belt, w pump, radiator flush and so on. Been in central Texas its entire life.
Will never part with it. Perfect condition rust free ones are hard to come by these days. 23 years and counting 🤙🏼
I still don’t get why people block their plates. What’s different from when you drive around and everyone sees your plates. 🤦♂️
ODC DATSME exactly right, lol it's literally publicly accessable information basically
I never blocked them when I post on craigslist because it shows trust and it really doesn't matter
I picked up a 1998 4Runner SR5 3400 V6 with two small dings, 179K miles for $1,400. First Toyota 4Runner.
dude you stole that thing!!
yea thats an excellent deal!
watching this because im getting a 98 4runner with 16k miles next week. YES 16k original miles
WOW thats nuts. it should go into a showroom or something!
16k miles on that is brand new. I would honestly not drive it, and keep it to flip for an investment in the future.
I was fully aroused when you read the mileage. 113,000!!! Omg that’s a barely used beauty!! Congratulations brother!
1997 here had it new in the family still rocks 300,000.00 KMS on it ....
Nice! Thanks for watching
This car is sooooo tough and strong,japanese engineering at its best
Yea i agree!
My 98 has 315k on it and still purrs!
Thats awesome! I hope my family will keep ours till it hits at least 200k. That might take another 20 years....
Same engine?
@@raiderrichard7291 yes 331k now.....3.4 v6 5vzfe
@@dbarton8651 are you still on the original radiator by chance? I have 227k and I'm a little worried about it, fluids are good but it's looking like it's getting discolored
@@gasscooterdude yes. Original starter is finally about to go though.
My first car is this 4 runner, looks just like this but white and I got it today, I can’t believe it looks so new like yours and I can’t wait to put some more miles on it, I got it with 200k I’m so excited
I purchased that model in 1998 it was stolen and totaled out.I decided not to repair or replace.It was a great car regret not repairing it.Seeing this brought back find memories.
Wow thats quite the story. that would definitely stink to have happen
I lookin at one right now for 2000$ it currently has 206,000miles on it. Is that a good deal or what?
That "rust coming in" you mention is actually the sprayed on chip guard from the factory. If there was that much rust down the length of the truck, it would be in major trouble. :)
Its was just starting on the pinch weld. so its nothing major. me and my dad fixed it all over the summer. all we need to do now to sand the frame down and protect that!
Hands down best reliable vehicle built , Full of Beans ...have a 1997 since new in the family with 350K Manual Transmission ..
Nice. Thanks for watching!
"got your spinning fan down there....Don't put your hand down there." Lol Nice 4runner but jeez don't quit your day job!
Lol don’t worry man. Just having fun making a video for people to enjoy. Thanks for watching
I'm going to look at a '98 SR5 with 5 Speed Manual Transmission. It's got 260k miles and it's 4x4.
It'll be my first 4 runner and I hope it'll be my only 4 runner for a very long time.
how did it go? im going to do the same today!
@@yungschlaama3323 I'm happy with mine. It's been good to us so far. Change all the fluids when you can and full send.
@@zaintahir9038 exactly what i was wanting to hear!
Beautiful bought an 02 sr5 for $5,800 cash sold it for $7500 at 240k Immediately regretted it. Bought an 01 with 240k for $5000 cash and haven’t looked back I absolutely love these vehicles ill drive mine till i cant no more!
When i look at the stereo part section, i see change from 1997 to 1998, the disc player is single( looks like) my 1997 has 3 disc players (multi) ,and the heater knob change too !!..amazing i did not know that.
i didint know that either. i wonder if its because mine has premium audio?
I just got a 98 base model 2.7L 4cyl. 5speed manual. 2wd 189k mi. For $2500. Love it! It will be behind my diesel pusher rv.
Wow thats very cool!
Nice review man! I really want one of these cars
Its been a really good car. Highly recommend
2:53 did this man say we have a DVD 🤦♂️🤦♂️
You did a great overview but I knew you were a millennial when you weren't sure about remote access in 2000 haha!. Yes my 96' Explorer had it . BTW I love this 3rd generation bodystyle just like I love my 2004 Grand Cherokee. These 2 have slim clean looks. Most newer mid size SUVs have become too bulky.
The remote access in this truck was added in 98 along with electric start. it actually never had power locks lol. Yea i love the body style of the 3rd gens. i done think toyota has made a better looking 4runner yet!
Just got my uncles 98 4runner limited with 123k miles!
Thats similar mileage to mine! thanks for watching!

God bless you keep on rolling in freedom Jesus is the way
Great review thank you a real quality car not a vw BMW Audi Mercedes range Rover jaguar mini chrisler Jeep etc which are pure garbage. They ought to pay toyota so Toyota can teach them how build quality reliable cars
So true. I don't want to disagree but the Germans make some good quality cars. Some of them aren't as reliable as the Japanese cars, but the interiors are very well made. I like to make these reviews. Check out the one of my hyundai!
Love this Toyota too but disagree about Jeep reliability. My 2004 Grand Cherokee has been stellar for 10 years. Inline 6 4.0 engine has been known to go well over 300k+ milles. BMWs are unreliable though. Had an E46 and E39. Horrible to maintain.
Very surprised the rear bumper is not rotted especially since you live where it snows and they use salt on the roads. I owned a 1998 as well in the same exact color exterior and interior and all the same features as you have , except mine had the factory option fender flares on it. My rear bumper started rusting from the inside out in it's 12th year. I got lucky as my neighbor backed into it in the back and the rear bumper had to be replaced with a brand new one. Sold it to my Uncle in 2012
This bumper was actually replaced about 10 years ago. we have just been cleaning it to keep the rust off of it lol
My mom had a 98 4Runner. Very nice SUV
Yea they are great!
just got one of these yesterday, I do hope it lasts a wile
Oh yea if you keep up with general maintenance, it will last a long time.
For 1999 the cup holders were moved down to the center console instead of pull-out in front of climate controls.
That would be a heck of alot nicer
Nice review man 😃👍🏻
Thank you!
That sunroof needs re-greased. Trust me I know the sound. Wipe it all out with Q-tips and reapply with white lithium grease
I got a 1kz 3.0 turbo diesel 1998 just great
Ohh a diesel that’s very cool. Where do you live if you don’t mind me asking? We never had a diesel option in the United States I don’t think.
Panamá i know diesel engine are hard to find Up there
I’m from Minnesota too!!
does the factory stereo have AUX?
have you got any more mods in store for the elantra
Looking at getting coilovers and fog lights
I’m looking at these for my first car. Would you recommend?
Rhino Armor yes I'm 17 and I drive my 2001'4runner everywhere not fast but spacious reliable and good looking in my opinion.
Oh yes! My family has owned this car for 19 years and it has had zero issues! Never left us stranded. I have seen two of these 4Runners reach 400,000 miles. So if they are well maintained, they will last for ever. Not the best on gas but definitely reliable and cheap to fix. Easy to work on too.
I'm also strongly considering one, '98 SR5 with 155k miles for $2,000.
Good deal?
I’d go for it. I believe these 4runners are going to start going up in value. As long as it doesn’t have a lot of rust, I’d go for it.
Hopefully they keep popping with that mileage more often, the lower price range means that they are unfortunately sold quicker.
Does this have locking dif?
I got the same 98 sr5. Ut blue interior and 100k miles got some mods tho
nice. ours is starting to rust. nothing bad yet but keeping an eye on it. motor will definitely outlast the frame and body
I'm going Monday to pay and pick up a 98 sr5 4 runner with 135000 miles it is in pretty good shape excellent mechanically everything functions correctly just needs few cosmetics this will b my first 4 runner only 2grand no oi leaks or drips does anyone know the alternators amp output by any chance
4x4?
What brand is the fog lights?
I have no idea. theres nothing on them
Dude u love in MN took cool!
I see your from MN, how is the frame rust on you're 4Runner? I have a 99 with 75,000 from Wisconsin and the frame Is kind of bad typical orange peel flakey rust, but I could see my frame getting way worse if I still lived there. The Salt just kills these frames.
I think my 4runner had some sort of an undercoating from the factory. Cause the bottom of the doors look like they have a thicker paint. The frame paint is starting to flake away and there is rust under neath. For right now its all surface rust. I think if my parents want to try to save this truck they should have it professionally undercoated.
Yours has 75k miles!?!?! Thats crazy! Keep that thing mint man! I wax twice a year and make sure i get the under neath wash when i get a car wash. That helps with salt in the winter.
KDM Mods Yeah I can't believe it has 75,000 miles either. I bought it 8 months ago from some guy in Milwaukee (my home town) but I live in Portland OR and forgot about how salt rust can really damage cars, especially Toyota trucks and SUVs. Luckily they don't use salt in the mountains around here so hopefully the frame doesn't get any worse. Toyota did a good job on the underbody coats and not having the door panels and typical other things from rusting on the body, but the quality of steel they used on the frame is terrible for salty roads.
Besides that I love my 4Runner and everything else about it.
Keep that underbody steel frame clean during the winter because the frame will break before anything else.
should I be worried if my passenger airbag isnt as loud?
Have you tried hitting it harder? When it explodes in your face then they are they same.
(lol)
3rd gens also came in a 5spd with 4x4!
Yes they did. you could also get the 4 cylinder with 4x4 with the 5 speed. not sure why you would do that but you could
@@kdmmods3931 the 4 cyl also available with automatic. I have a 2000 with 5 speed, owned since 2002. 225K and still going strong.
if you're willing to sell let me know!
Cd player, not dvd player.
Very true
I got 269,000 and I'm running great
awesome. be nice if ours made it to that. the rust might get to it before it gets there
where did u get that matt i want to get one
the husky floor mats? i think it had them in it when we bought it. id recommend going to a junk yard and see if you can find one there with rubber mats in it
You guys barely drive, does your family still have it?
yep still have it. it now has 123k miles. the frame is starting to get some rust. nothing bad yet but im keeping a close eye on it for my dad. it should last another 10 years if we keep up with washing it in the winter.
found one with 134k miles 2300
Man you guys are finding the deals! Here in Minnesota a really rusty one with 200k miles goes for $2000+
Great generation 4Runner
yes i agree
I got an offer to buy a 400k mile '98 4runner
...Well did you get it? 🤔
Lo mejor en 4 Runners la 3° generación
the interior is called oak
The 5th gen 4runners are cool, but too heavy! Over 1000 pounds more than the 3rd gen, so in offroad all of the agility of the previous 4runners is gone. The 5th gen will get you through trails, but it does it safe and slow, not enthusiastically like other 4runners.
i think the 3rd gen is alot more narrow? that would also make it a bit better for tight spots while off-roading
Is it for sale??
It is not sorry.
Show beautiful
thanks. its one of the better 4runner body styles
Mine has 325k. They last forever.
Yea thats very cool. i hope this one will too. the frame might go first before the body
Moar Elantra videos!!! :D
Thanks! Im going to be getting fog lights and then coilovers in the spring
KDM Mods Nice! I have a 05 Elantra GT Sedan. I love it so much. 147k going strong. I don't know if its just LA, but you never see Elantra GT sedans around here from 2005.
I dont see that many Elantras in general. Especially the older ones.
KDM Mods Here in California, you don't see a lot of them but you see a few here and there, especially in the same color as yours.
My 98 has 217 k
Nice! Thanks for watching
How are these on gas?
Lets just say "OK". I get probably 15 city and 21 highway.
Bad lol. I have a 2000 4runner with the V6 and I get at best 20 mpg highway and 18 mpg in the city.
I will buy it will $2800
5000 cash minimum
going to need more than that to even think about it
Hey bro I miss you're car
Thanks! Not to much will be happening to it. Was my birthday and my parents said they would buy me fog lights so a video of that will be coming!
Youv'e got cool parents! . Happy Birthday .
I upgraded my fogs to Xenon and if you have any question ask .
OK im going to ask. they said they would spend $100 on fog lights. I need wiring and the lights( I can find a swich somewhere) Do you know where a good place to get them at a good price? Thanks
+KDM Mods Well its bit problem for me to help in that cause I'm not from US but I bought mine from comapny called Morimoto and they sell worldwide.
Ok. I looked them up and it looks like they only have the lights. i need everything. maybe ill join the elantra xd forms and see if they have any ideas. Thanks!
Learn about the vehicle you are reviewing before you review it. You gave some really poor answers and explanations on things that you don't know about and just made something up. Not bad overall, but just do some simple homework.
What are some things that I missed? I’d be curious.
