I've been into toyota's all my life as my dad drove an 85 celica supra and a 95 taco 4x4 when I was younger. the 92 corolla gt-s I bought when I was 17 was the car that made me a Toyota "lifer". Since then, I've graduated from Wyotech, worked as a technician, service advisor, and now service manager. I've worked for dealerships, independent shops and manufacturers. Looking to learn from this community and get involved as well. Here are a few pics.
This is from the first day I drove the 4runner home back in June. You can see it had the old American Racing wheels with small(stock size) tires. The bumper on the rear was a Smitty Built, but it was rusted out real bad.

Here it is next to my 1985 corolla. I'm a car guy before I'm a truck guy and the corolla is my project. This was the day it was sent out to have a new wiring harness made and installed. You can see on the truck that I've installed the new BFG's and wheels(Crager 5 spoke wheels in 15x8)

This roof rack has been one of my favorite mods so far, aesthetically speaking. It's the Yakima load warrior with 22" extension. I have it mounted on 48" Yakima bars. My soon to be plan is to purchase a 3rd bar and move the basket all the way to the rear. With a 3rd bar in it, i'll be able to support the weight of the tire, hi-lift and camping gear in the basket. I'll also be purchasing two 66" cross bars so that I can mount a bike rack to the outside of the basket and carry my bikes.

Here's how it sits now. I just installed the Hella 9003 conversion housings and the Hella F500 lights on the bumper! I haven't wired the F500 lights yet as I'm still deciding on how I want to use them. Hella provides a really nice harness with relay that allows you to wire the lights to your brights or dims so that you do not need a switch in the cabin.
