New here! - 2005 Toyota 4runner - Costa Rica

[sdtaco]

Hey all, glad to be here! From California but have been down in Costa Rica for about 6 years. I own a small language school in the northwest of Costa Rica and since we don't have any paved roads off-road is our only option, everyday is an expedition, haha! I just picked up this turbo diesel runner a couple days ago. Have never owned a diesel until now and I'm trying to learn as much as possible. Looking forward to some adventures. Saludos!

If I'm not mistaken this is a 1ktze, is that right? Honestly, I'm not 100% certain as I've not owned a diesel before.

Learning something new every day....I did not know that this 4Runner generation came with a diesel too.

Yeah, before I moved here I didn’t realize how many different diesel models there were either...there are tons.

Yes have reading up on all the diesels and the D4D’s too which I see a lot in the newer Hiluxes and Prados down here. Yes, guess I am an expat but not retired unfortunately! Haha. She is super clean, last owner was a mechanic and seemed to have taken good care of her.

Great looking rig man, I was just there in January. Loved the Western Coast.

If you need any more info on the area hit up The CR Ironman Dealer, Abe is a great dude.

Yes, he's more active on Instagram I think, but tell him, will sent ya. Might raise the prices, but we spent a good part of a week with him then toured on over to San Fransisco de coyote. With a mutual friend.
