I picked up my first 4x4 finally after owning a 2005 Tacoma and a 2007 Tundra and I loved both of those. Always wanted a 1st Gen 4Runner since I my uncle brought one home brand new in the 80s.
Now I have my own that I picked up cheap thinking I could fix everything on my own but I was far from it. I have jumped through so many hoops to get this thing on and off road worthy and spent a ton of money doing so.
There are a few things I want to do to make it perfect but after dropping so much into it, I can afford parts fine but labor and know how is what's killing me. I need to change the gearing to 4.88 to match the 33s she's running on and a few other things on the list. My problem is, my back doesn't always hold up when I'm working on things so I usually need some helping hands.
If there are any local groups around that meet up and help each other out, sign me up! I am very mechanically inclined, taken tons of automotive classes and have access to tons of fabrication equipment.
