This off-road monster truck is not street legal and is strictly for off-road use only. Its owner clearly put a lot of TLC into it. What you’re looking at right here is a well-loved 4Runner with a lot of life left. It’s listed on eBay with a starting price of $13,400.
When the current owner bought this 4Runner, it already came with a ton of modifications but the owner still made some mods of their own:
- 1UZ-FE engine swap
- Rear mounted radiator
- Custom exhaust system
- Winch
- Front sway bar
- Electrical relay panel for fans and accessories
A 1993 1UZ-FE Lexus engine powers this mean machine. It also comes with a manual valve body automatic transmission. The body has almost 174K miles on it, but the engine has only 90K miles.
It’s a solid off-road vehicle, that’s for sure.
