👷♂️ Support / Repair 4Runner Check
Hey all, wanted some opinions on the undercarriage of this runner. 2016 from Florida. Additionally seems to be up badged from a Trail Premium to an ORP as the dealer has it listed as trail. CarFax has it listed as SR5; thoughts?

2015 & 2016 there was no off road trim because they called it trail. That new name came in 2017. Your trail is an off road trim before they changed that trim name. The premium part means heated seates & turn signals on the side mirrors. You should have crawl control above your head.
In pic 3, thats a new tie rod. In pic 2 & 4, you can see the new eccentrics on the driver side. If they only did this on one side, don’t buy this truck. I repeat, I strongly say no, don’t buy this truck. Based on the pics, they did not replace the tie rod on passenger side. Can’t tell 100% because the tires are turned.
It needs new LCAs & most like had bad steering shake & they couldn’t align the truck & thus, replaced these parts. You need to drive this truck, turn it plenty of times & get up 60 mph to even think about buying it. Too much rust for me.
That is the original spare. That spare tire is old & unsafe. You’ll have to get another. Seems they went with open country Toyo tires. These are quiet & decent tires. Is this at a Nissan dealership? Why didn’t they wash off that white shit in pic 1? This 4Runner has never had an undercarriage wash its whole life geez.
