Hello folks! Been lurking for a little while and I thought that now that I finally settled on this 3rd gen, it was time to post. I was really close to buying a 5th gen but opportunity struck when a family friend offered this 1996 SR5 for a really, really good price. For now, all this needs is a new set of tires (and caps) and a new timing belt, but I have plans for this new project. My family is actually 4Runner crazy so it was no surprise that I was going to get one myself. I'm definitely a proud owner and I can't wait to start transforming this Runner!

This pic was from the day I bought it. It has since been cleaned and shined and some needed changes were done (new wipers, air filter, oil/oil filter, radio deck).

Welcome!!

Welcome! If you're ever in need of aftermarket parts, we often do group buys to HI where several people combine their orders for discounts on the parts and shipping costs. Here's a link to our current group buy on TW:

Wow, that's fantastic! I'll definitely keep this in mind! Thank you.
