Just thought I would say "Hi"

Bought myself a 4runner SR5 '97. Got lucky with a good deal but needed some work. Thanks goodness for great friends!!

So far this is my first off road Toyota, I've had a few AE86 Corolla's in the past and my let one was modded as far as I could without it being a full track car(no cage and still had interior). Unfortunately I had to sell it, but am glad I have my runner. Only played a little in some dirt at a local spot here in Richmond, had some fun in the snow while in the Okanagan and quickly found out these trucks are great for drive-in movies and sleeping in when on a long road trip.

I do plan on some light wheeling/off road camping trips so naturally there are mods to be done...mostly cuz it'll look cool not cuz the truck would actually need them :biggrin2:

Now pics;

first thing I did after getting the runner safe

some place up north near Prince Rupert. Was driving back from my road trip and found a path to the river bed. So I drove in...

Me trying the artsy thing

Things to come in the future:
Some plated bumpers
Tires, probably Safari TSR 265/75/16
Rock sliders
Basket for roof rack
More lights
Probably some skid plates
Minor lift kit

Been reading posts here for my research before I bought my 4runner and gotta say I like the vibe!

Thank you!!!

That river pic is at a place called "China Bar", very good fishing spot! If you tried to go to that spot now you'd be completely submerged. Heavy snow pack and lots of rain lately is making the Skeena flood.
