First day I got it...

As the beast sits today...



Picked up my 1998 4runner in mid January of 2009 with 176k miles. I'm a very lucky 18 year old, and my parents bought the 4runner for me. Fortunately, my father has grown to love modding my off-road truck as much as I do. The 4runner has a lot of sentimental value since it's the product of a father son project. It has taken many hours and funds to get The Beast to the point where it's at today and is why I plan to keep the car for as long as possible. I'm a pre-veterinary student at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and am hoping to ship my car over to Hawaii in the future.

At around 179k miles, the cam shaft broke leading to a massive bill and a rebuilt motor with 75k miles on the clock.
