Offered by a motivated private seller in Marshall, Virginia, this supercharged 1997 Toyota 4Runner SR5 4×4 combines a 5-speed manual transmission, a Harrop rear electronic locking differential, and an extensive collection of trail and camping equipment. Owned by the seller since 1999, it comes with long-term service records, a documented JDM engine installation, and upgrades spanning the drivetrain, suspension, armor, electrical systems, and interior.

The verified odometer reading is 372,811 miles. A replacement JDM 3.4L V6, reportedly carrying approximately 60,000 miles at installation, was fitted in January–February 2026 at 366,137 chassis miles. The truck has covered 6,674 miles since that work, and the seller has the engine purchase receipt, installation photographs, and supporting service documentation.

  • Supercharged V6 & Documented Engine Installation: A JDM replacement 3.4L V6 was installed in early 2026 with extensive preventative service. The Magnuson supercharger was rebuilt in 2021, and the engine purchase receipt and installation photographs accompany the truck.
  • 5-Speed Manual & Harrop Rear E-Locker: The manual transmission was replaced in 2021, and the rear differential was rebuilt with a locking-differential upgrade in 2020. The seller confirms a Harrop rear electronic locker, which has been function checked, with its manual included.
  • Toytec Suspension, CBI Armor & Recovery Equipment: Toytec TTBOSS Aluma Series suspension pairs with CBI steel bumpers, rock sliders, a front skid plate, and a ComeUp winch. Rear swing-outs carry the spare tire and fuel cans, while General Grabber A/TX tires ride on Tandem Offroad wheels.
  • New Camp Power, Refrigeration & Communications: The refrigerator, lithium auxiliary battery, charger, fuse block, onboard air system, and GMRS radio are new and have been function checked. ARB Outback drawers, a Gobi roof rack, Baja Designs lighting, and Switch-Pros controls round out the equipment package.
  • Long-Term Ownership & Extensive Documentation: Owned by the seller since 1999 and described as rust-free and accident-free, this 4Runner includes receipts dating back to that purchase, owner’s and accessory manuals, a spare key, and engine-installation documentation. Recovery gear, new fuel and water cans, the original cargo cover, and spare Toytec rear coils also accompany the sale.

The supercharged V6 and 5-speed manual give this third-generation 4Runner its appeal, while the long ownership history and supporting records provide context for the build. Over time, the seller has addressed the engine, transmission, supercharger, rear differential, steering, suspension, brakes, and interior while assembling a substantial camping and trail equipment package.

Its 372,811-mile chassis is an important part of that history, with the current reading and engine-installation mileage now confirmed. The documented replacement engine, recent service, and extensive included equipment give the next owner a clear picture of what has been completed and what accompanies the truck.

This 4Runner is priced well within the estimated price range provided by a recent Fourbie Exchange Valuation Report. See HERE for more information.
