The motors are pretty damn solid and if you dont have any power I'd say something is wrong. That motor also had a problem with water pumps leaking they just about all leak. It's only a matter of when not if. They leak and down the inside of were the timing belt is and then take out the crank position sensor.How are those 3.0L motors? I'm not sure if it's the same motor, but my Aunt has a Camry that's around that year with 300,000 miles on it. How are the trannies and T-cases? I'm concerned with the shifters, but would probably rip all the plastic etc stuff out of the way and make the connections more solid. (if possible) Also, what could be the problem with the 4x4? It's electronic solenoids. If one is bad, that could set me back $$$. That's what I'm worried about, dumping money into a SPARE 4x4.
How is the computer and diagnosing stuff? Damn thing freaked me out looking under the hood, all those hoses and crap. Looked worse than my 85 CA Blazer
Trannies and T-cases are also very solid. The automic locking hubs are the weak link. Some even came with lockers depending on what options were chosen at purchase.
I'd wouldn't hesitate buying another one and if they didn't get pushed around by my boat I'd dump my blazer for another one. (I had a Tacoma not a 4 runner) but essentially almost the same thing.
