Update
Thanks for the great info.
Took to Stapp Interstate Toyota for a 2 hour checkup and all it seems to need is brakes in about 8k and an A/C recharge. Few other minor things but they were amazed that there was not a leak anywhere....even shocks.
Compression readings: 185,180,180,170,185,185
Walked out just over 5k. Never had anything but Audi's and "cough cough" asian imports.....Wierd riding high.

My first car was an '88 4runner. Car held up no matter what I threw at it (more)
Took it offroad every weekend, went to moab a few times. Fantastic car. I also had a 2003 4runner it was a fantastic car, but I managed to get it to play dead. I was crawling up a steep hill on a golf course maintenance path in some deep snow, the front end slipped slidways off a rock ledge and rolled it once. It landed back on the wheels, and in 4 low with 3 flats and a flattened roof it crawled up the side of the hill and I was able to drive it home. No on was injured and the accident was under 5 mph. They are great Cars for winter drving, off roading, camping, ect. just dont take them on small cart paths in deep snow.
