I can understand the humor in the 3rd and 4th picture you posted. The 2nd picture is a bit scary. If the vehicle were to flop or roll he'd be thrown off and likely crushed by the weight of the vehicle. If the rig is going to flop his body weight really isn't going to make a huge difference. He's more likely to get injured than actually prevent the vehicle from flopping. Looks like you guys had fun though.

Darwin says let him die.
 
Up on Rampart Range Road for the first time since the Waldo Canyon fire. About a month ago. Pic before the 285s(255s), but with the new suspension upgrades

Just bought my very first T4R and brought it home today. Swung by the self serve car wash to spray off the snow and gunk and have a better look at the condition of it. I'm pretty happy with this purchase, I love my new (to me) '97 4Runner Limited.

I can't wait to start fixing up the little things and get her back to 100%.

First thing I gotta tackle is the tailgate. The handle mechanism or something is broke. I saw that it's a common thing on these, so I will search the forums further to see what I can do to get it to open again.
 
Pics of the 98 sr5 I picked up this summer for $500. Has 230,000 miles and heavy front end damage. Front wheels were pointing different directions & leaving rubber on the cement when I drove her in the garage.

Dug in and started tearing bits out.

This is her today. 3" spacer lift, 1.5 body lift, and diff drop all home made. Planning on Sonoran 1.2 and a lunchbox locker this summer. She may never be pretty but she'll be capable.

It is w/ a heavy heart that I post this. Thursday in the early hours before the sun came up, my sister took her own life outside of her 4Runner. After years of ups & downs w/ depression & alcoholism, she died at 35. I now have her 2001 4Runner 4WD. I also have a 2006 Sport 4WD that is my DD. Anyway, I've inherited this 4Runner under the most gut wrenching of circumstances. We laid her to rest today & these pics were from this morning. I'm going to repaint it & fix everything on it that needs any attention. I have not decided which route to go in the mods department. She added a 1" front spacer kit in an attempt to make it level. I'm pretty certain I'll be pulling that, going w/ some coilovers & new springs out back w/ some 32's, not sure on rim size yet... Possibly 17's or 18's. My sister was a police officer & her funeral today was 1 like you see in the movies. The color guard & the police dept as a whole went above & beyond... Which I think truly speaks to the type of individual & officer that she was. I've never been part of funeral precession w/ 30+ police Chargers leading the way & the interstate was literally shut down. Awesome & funeral aren't typically used synonymously, but today was awesome. She was treated like she was a dignitary w/ far reaching influence. I'm honored to have had her as my sister. I'm honored to have gotten this 4Runner. Sorry to dump my sad sob story on y'all... But it's not everyday that you're given a 4Runner under these circumstances. It's a burden I don't want to bare... But it's 1 that has changed my life permanently.
