Hi from Northern Cali

[schmauster]

Just wanted to say hi. I live in Northern California and I have a 2000 4runner with 300,000 miles on it. Love it and plan to be buried in it. Ran great for a long time, worked it hard as heck. I pull over trees and haul trailers way past its weight capacity. Its been a great truck in a pinch.

I also have an AWD Audi Quattro which im building a motor for.

Fast forward many years and a blown head gasket leads to a full motor swap (mother in law) Swapped the 3.4 with another and im getting some multiple cylinder missfire issues.

Love the overloaded lean. New springs are cheap(ish)!

Wow, that's gotta be close to the limit on those rear springs.
