Well, it's now May 2017 and I have a birthday to celebrate. She's finally legal boys!!

I've had this 4Runner since February of 2007 and am the second owner. She had just a little over 112k on her and had just had the timing belt and water pump replaced, along with all the other ancillaries to that service.

There's been a ton of work done on her over the last two years as she approached and then passed to 200k mile marker. I took pictures along the way and will post them here as I get time to do document the maintenance and modifications. My ultimate goal was to essentially create a Highlander model 4Runner clone and with the most recent addition of the sport hood, I'm pretty much done. Only thing really left to do is get a rear swing-out bumper on it. (done as of May 2018) Well, plus doing all the wheel bearings (rear done February 2019, have parts for fronts), re-gearing to 4.88 (done as of July 2019), installing lockers (done in rear only as of February 2019), maybe doing manual hubs up fr....but I digress.

I really don't have a lot of pictures of her when I first got her. Just this one after getting rear ended and smashing into the two cars in front of me. Totaled all three cars except mine
