O.K. Woody, I gotta ask. Whatcha do? Boo-boo…   Hunting with my grandson - On our last day to hunt I ran my old 1999 4Runner in a ditch on Scales Road. I had gotten pictures of two big boxer dogs chasing deer on the trail camera. Dogs chasing deer is not good, but I was more worried about us meeting up with them in the woods in the dark. I carry a sidearm while hunting, but I'd rather not have that confrontation. A friend that lives up there told me he thought that the dogs belonged to a person that built a home on the corner of Scales Road and Ebenezer Cemetery Road. After hunting I drove by there and was looking to see if there were dogs there. Looking left while driving sometimes we subconsciously steer the vehicle left. Next thing you know I hit loose gravel and down in the ditch we went. Thank the good Lord neither my grandson or I was injured, The 4Runner did not fair well.. It was a total loss. Farm Bureau did me right with a little over $6,000. I loved that old truck and took great care of it. It was not a fitting end for it. I had promised it to my grandson when I pass on, I guess he will get the next one. |

Not hard to do. My wife is amazed I haven’t crashed yet craning my neck looking at deer in a field, ducks on a pond you name it. Glad you and your grandson were OK.

Welder says he was going to make a run by the lot and check it for me. Main thing I want to know is - any accidents and maintenance record. Well maintained 4Runners last forever. |

If you really get interested get a car fax report |

Carfax is $45..
Carfax said 48 entries so that has to be a lot of oil changes.
I’ll see what Welder says first.

Thanks Welder for checking this out for me.
Unfortunately (after 2 months of being on the lot) it sold yesterday .
You snooze, you lose…but maybe there is better down the road ?
