(bought it 18 months ago with 74k on it - was a Miami truck owned by an elderly gentleman who left it to sit in the sun for years without driving it. Pretty much every engine seal is shot)

Planning on reviving it for more trouble free miles:
- pull engine and do F&R main seals, oil pump, pan gasket, valve cover gaskets, timing belt, water pump. Larger OEM oil filter.
- supercharger with OBX headers (and SCE copper gaskets), magnaflow high flow cat, and possibly new exhaust
- K&N intake (from parts truck) or modded factory intake
- URD 7th system
- upgraded valve body
- 231mm Tundra brake upgrade
- 99+ headlights
- grill mod + aux LED lighting
- optima battery

Not sure of suspension route right now, but plan on replacing the shocks and maybe a 2.5-3" lift.

The body is pretty rough as the previous owner got a cheap top 1/2 paint job to "fix" faded paint and I plan on touching up the flares at least to fix the faded paint and scratches on those. The good news is that the frame is spotless.

Anyone interested in helping a brother out with some installs?

Just picked up an 02 with an RC 3" lift that Ill eventually be removing.

The truck currently needs valve cover gaskets, donut gasket, CV axle, possibly some other minor things. I mainly need assistance with the VC gaskets.

Im in Bordentown and have a garage. The truck fits, but its small lol.

Hey folks,

I haven't been in Jersey long (south jersey), and I try to do most of the work on my vehicle myself, but I'm curious if anyone here can recommend a good, fair, mechanic to take a look at my 1990 3vze 4runner? I'm in the Cherry Hill area, closer to Philly. Moving cross country again, and some expert advice/diagnosis on the old dog is probably a good idea.

Thanks!

Hi Jersey. Finally found this thread. I'm in the Morristown area. Just got a 2015 SR5 about a month ago.

Had a 05 Tacoma for 11 years and loved it. Drove a Rav4 and somehow lasted almost 2 yrs in that. Nice creature comforts but just not for me. Debated between a 4R and a Highlander and once I drove the 4R I loved it immediately.

Looking for a good shop to put a mild lift in. If you know of one in this area please let me know.

Same here! 2011 4Runner Limited with some OEM+ style mods

I would be down to meet up for some simple trails and camping talk. This is my daily (so I can have other fun cars), I enjoy using its offroad capability but I'm not looking to break anything rock crawling.

Pine barrens in Nj has some nice trails
