Welcome! Cory from Nw 4runners here :thumb3:
Hey Mike, you really should invest in some proper jackstands--those cardboard boxes aren't that strong, and they take up all your work space underneath!
dude I've got 6 jackstands under my focus right now lol.
SIX? What, did you buy the $1.95 stands at Harbor Freight or something?


If you've never seen a bone stock 2nd generation, here's my contribution.
I grabbed this '93 last weekend.
It's about to turn 180k.
One owner.
All stock (3.0, auto).
Exterior is good (little clear coat damage). Interior looks almost new (sans one dash crack and worn upholstery on the drivers bolster).

Looks like a very nice/clean runner. Just out of curiosity, how much did you pay for it? No worries if you do't want to say.
I don't mind.
I paid $4,700 (and the cost of a plane ticket).
It wasn't the steal of the century, but it just had the timing belt serviced (including water pump) and new tires. The tires are about $1k and I priced the timing belt at $1,100 locally (shop fees are very high around here).
I also didn't mind paying a little extra for a Texas truck. Plus, it's Carfax (no wrecks) show that it was always serviced on time and all the recommended maintenance was always done.
I looked at (and drove) some cheaper ones, but they were ragged out. I could have saved around $1k-$1.5k, but would have spent much more in timing belt, tires, front end (all felt loose), and god knows what else.
While you have it tore down that much, consider replacing that water bypass tube that goes down the middle. I've heard they can be cause for coolant leaks that are a pain.
