First Tr4 1999 Highlander 5spd

[exporunner]

Greetings All,

I've been a long time Jeep guy two wranglers and a cherokee but as my interests now lead more towards building an expedition/overland rig toyota was the obvious choice. As I've always owned standard vehicles a 5spd was a must and I was so happy that I was able to find this southern 1999 TR4 "Highlander" with minimal to basically no rust with 169,000 miles on the clock. Seems to have been well taken care of and well maintained by previous owner! Excited to be a part of this forum and hope to learn as much about Toyotas as I already know about jeeps haha. (I've already been stalking the forum for a few months and have been so thankful for the resources including the TR4 buyers guide so thanks for that) But with no further procrastination here she is...

Thanks!

Thanks for all the compliments and welcomes guys! Really happy with picking up a 99 with the taller springs, 5-spd and basically no rust couldnt have done it without this forum wish it had a rear locker but that can always be added later. I'm really looking forward to getting started with prepping it for some travels, but as funds are little light right now it will probably stay fairly tame for awhile. Main things Im looking to do in the near future include some weathertech floormats, pick up a scan gauge and just continue doing routine preventative maintenance (oil changes, filter changes that kind of thing). I do also plan on undercoating it with PQR-15 this summer to keep it as rust free as possible as it will now be living more in the northeast. I do also have a Tepui roof top tent and a custom made roof rack basket that I used on my wrangler that I'll have to work on situating on the 4runner.

^^ Haha yep another Jeep guy haha Thanks for the links I'll be sure to check most of these options out probably won't be lifting anytime soon but may look into getting some sliders and I will probably end up going with a OME lift when I do decide to, as thats what I've had on my Jeeps and have been really happy with the ride and quality.
