Hello everyone!
I am not new to the 4Runner experience, they have been in my family since 1996, and I absolutely love my 1997 Limited model.
Over the last year Ive done a lot of "Routine Maintenance" including, but not limited to:
Replacing the bearings, inner and outer seals of my rear axle. This was a painful procedure, and was expensive considering the Toyota dealership did it (ironically enough, the very same dealership my grandmother bought the 4runner from new in 1997).
Ive also just recently replaced several seals: The Rear Transfer case seal, valve cover gasket, and one other i cant remember.
Tune ups, etc and about $2000 later its running like a champ still.
Soon i want to start modding, lifting, etc to take full advantage of my vehicle and what it is capable of. Hopefully with your help it will be achieved. (Keep in mind, Im an absolute noob in the world of mechanics. I will learn along the way, and a friend of mine who is familiar with my car after my recent seal replacements, will help me out. Most of my posts and/or questions will be noobish questions asking about "What does that mean", etc.)
I hope to learn and juice up my baby and be able to show her off to you all.
Thank you all in advance!
