I have been watching this board for some time now. Almost 3 years I guess. After reading up and reading through countless threads about t4rs, I bought one for myself today.
So that's what I did today to my 3rd gen, I bought this one.
I know the running boards are coming off this weekend. I also have a few things to touch up, but for the most part, it's in pretty good condition. I will do a tranny cooler next and then some different tires. This thing has never seen the dirt as far as I can tell. 1998 Limited 4x4 with e-locker and 157k.
I may even start a build thread depending on how crazy I want to go with this thing. Thanks for helping me catch the bug folks

Saw it in person today, so much better! Never really liked satoshi mods.
Looks even cleaner than it did before.

I changed the gear oil in my transfer case, and the oil and filter. I attempted to change the oil in the front differential, but I *need* more leverage. Oh, and I also attempted to fix my 4wd disengaging issue by disassembling and cleaning the 4wd button in my Limited. I learned that that bas**** is full of tiny springs and is *not* the culprit.
Tomorrow will be breaker bar and front differential case drain. Maybe an attempt at checking the vacuum tubes, but I have no clue what I'm looking for.
Needless to say...it's been a frustrating car day, but I love her.

installed tranny cooler, painted spoiler thing, tinted 3rd brake light, and painted horns.
For the 3rd brake light, you need to spray a clear coat before using the tint spray, otherwise the paint has a reaction w/ the [plastic and cracks, so this pic is just the clear coat

My Weathertech digital fit liners came in this weekend. I also installed an external tranny cooler and rotated the tires, but no pics.

Last night I confirmed that the rear stuff holding my SC to my intake manifold was indeed stripped.
SO on a moments notice a good friend invited me over to swap in an extra manifold that he had, with gaskets.
We tore out the old manifold, put new gaskets on, cleaned everything up a bit, put a new return line on my FPR (it was cracking, and leaking) and got it going again!
Unfortunately it's too icy out here for me to get on the throttle a bit and see if replacing that hose has fixed my fuel pressure issue...
