I currently own 7 3rd gens with 2 of which are parts. Along with an 02 Camry, 07, Sienna Van, 2010 sienna Van, 09 Tocuma and 2 classic cars. Been working on Toyota's since the early 90's used to have a fleet of 80's pickups for parts and 3 road rides. So more of a hobby mechanic then anything. Graduated college as an Electrical Engineer and work with computers these days.
I use my rigs (2 only at a time on the road) as DD and work rides. I mostly keep mine mostly stock and focus on frame repairs and body repairs and maintenance more then anything else. [I do enjoy seeing other folks rigs and the mods they have done ;-) ]
Living in the rust belt, I been experimenting and improving on my repairs on frames and chassis. One of the reasons I choose the 4 runners was to learn how to weld a lot better. Along with them being Toyota Trucks that are SUVs and the 3rd Gens are my favorite.
So by contributing on this forum and sharing what I have learned over the years, along with others sharing what they have as well with me. We can all benefit from this community of owners.
So my Builds photos will mostly be frame and chassis repairs and those sorts of things. I will help others and will be active in this forum.
So do anyone out there want to see my frame repairs??
P.S. As I have a fleet of 3rd Gens. I am always looking for parts. I would rather buy the parts from other 3rd Gen owners then southern Junkyards..
So PM me if your parting one out especially the parts that rot out in the rust belt. You never know what I am after at any given time

As I work 1 or 2
at time restoring them to DD status.
