2007 4Runner Sport Edition V8 4WD
Selling my beloved expedition rig for $9,200.
Location: Frisco, TX (suburb of Dallas)
Bought it brand new in Spring of 2007 and have put 195,000 miles on it. Some recent facts (items added/done in past 3 years):
- 2nd timing belt service done at end of July ($1,100 service)
- spark plugs replaced in May 2018 at 184k miles
- new radiator installed when they did timing belt service
- new subwoofer (orig sub went out in June)
- installed a 7" screen head unit (Kenwood DMX7704s) Apr 2017 w/ backup camera, and wired it to work with the JBL audio system/amp/speakers. Sounds great, works with Apple CarPlay and Android Google car solution.
- installed USB charging ports
- new allow rims with nice offset
- 4x4 Labs rear bumper w/ dual swingout
- sPOD SE LCD panel for controlling lights, CB radio, dashcam
- Baja Designs LED lightbar (controlled w/ 2 dedicated switches instead of sPOD)
- Baja Designs foglights w/ amber glass installed in Demello front bumper, controlled in sPOD
- GOBI roof rack (I think I still have the ladder)
- ComeUp winch (9500 winch with synthetic line)
- New Charcoal filter
**Here are the 2 problems:
1) CEL comes on because of intermittent communication between ECU & charcoal filter. Haven't been able to resolve. I am at 600 ft elev in Dallas, TX. When I travel to higher elev (like when I drove to Yosemite NP 2 years in a row), the CEL stays off.
2) Rear window no longer rolls down. This is because the rear door motor closes the door, then partially moves the door back out (door is still closed) and sends a fault code to ECU to not allow the rear window to go down. The door is closed, so the only issue is with the rear window.

Only thing I am removing is the antenna wiring and mount for my HAM radio.
