With a recent move to Northern California, from Virginia Beach, VA, I figure it's a good time to start a build thread on here. The community is more active here compared to 4Runner forums, the NorCal region is much more active, I actually have a job and am not on a college budget, and NorCal and it's surrounding areas have a lot to offer.
Goal for this vehicle is for it to be a well build all purpose rig that can be used for expo trips and some more hardcore wheeling trips.
Let the fun begin...
This is my first personal vehicle and I am learning as I go and as things need replacing and redoing. Enjoy and I'm always open to suggestions.
