HELLO!! I'm Mike!!!
Hello, all!
I'm Mike, I live in Southern California.
In the process of selling my miata, need something bigger, why not a T4R!?!!
There are a couple of 3rd Gens for sale near me so hopefully I can start wheeling soon.

welcome mike
Hey mike socal is a big area. Can you narrow it down a bit. Yes a runner is a bit bigger than that miata. What are you looking for in a runner?

I live in San Clemente. I surf and need something bigger for my board and a bunch of my friends go off roading pretty often around here. I also want something a little more reliable and fun to mess around with.  I think a 4runner can cover all the bases

Welcome, Mike!
Glad you could join us as you search for a new 4runner. Little off topic, but the first thing I thought of when I read this was this youtube video. Please don't do this, haha!

Anyways, heres a thread that can help you with looking for a 3rd gen:

Yeah, I'll definitely not be pulling one of those anytime soon!
Thanks for the warm welcome, I have been reading almost every thread on here about buy and driving a third Gen. I am very pleased with everything I have found.
This is a Great forum!
Keep it up guys!

That looks super fun! Might take some time to work up to that. There are two runners for sale near me one's a '99 has 101,000 miles, and an '02 with 140,000. but the '99 has a supercharger. 
Both are white and in pretty good condition. One guy flaked on me but another is supposed to come check out my car today so hopefully it will work out.
