I've got a 90 Runner. Love it. Like mentioned on the head gasket, check the vin with a Toyota dealer to see if it's under the service campaign for the head gasket and if it's been done or not. Mine was not covered and just blew at 210K miles. I just ordered a 5VZ from the local wrecker to swap in. You can do a leak down test on it and check the oil and water for signs of a slightly blown gasket, but no way to know for sure if it's going to go soon or not. No other bugs that I am aware of. I'm in the bay area of CA and got mine at about 180K miles for $6500 in excellent condition, so 4K is pretty good I think. Oh yeah, if the sun roof cable goes, it's not going to be fun to replace it. I almost never use mine so I leave it shut and didn't replace the cables. With good shocks, it rides great, handles good, does pretty well offroad. Good all around family car.
