lol noooooo!!! 4Runners are great vehicles, they can sell for a lot. I have a 2000 tacoma 4x4 6 cylinder I bought for 7500 in 2013. I'm thinking of selling it soon for 10-13k. Keep your 4runner maintained and it will be well more than worth it. I'm thinking of buying one around that year, honestly. But yes, the truck chassis lower ball joints that year are a bit of a pain in the ass to swap. Hammering them out of the knuckle is not fun unless you have an air hammer, sledge, or torch. Did you get an alignment yet?
