Midwest 3rd Gen BS Thread - WI, MI, IA, MN, IL, IN

[krenaud33]

Cedar Rapids. I know of a few others here in iowa but only met and worked on one Yotatech member's 4runner. I did meet Ryan when he dropped off my skidplate too.

Ryan mentioned tonight a guy in CR with an army green 4Runner when I asked him about the possibility of doing a project for me. Are you the one he was talking about?

Thought I would check in here as not a lot of 4th gen guys to start a thread like this. Who else is from around the central part of Iowa here?

Indiana folks, want to start picking out a time to get together at Redbird? Or Badlands, I'm down for either, or some different option altogether. I'm still on highway rubber at the moment (and a total offroad novice), and will probably stick to easier trails.

We had a meet and greet for our car club on campus today and we discussed going out to Badlands mid july.

Gotta love those minimum maintenance roads! I ended up scooping over two 5 gallon buckets worth of mud off of my driveway...

Me of course. :biggrin2: I am guessing I am the only one from central Iowa in the 3rd gen section.

Possibly, depends how nice the weather is and if I'm training that day.

Any Chicago people wanna help with a transmission swap? My trans is dying and I figure a manual swap is the way to go.

Intro, glad to see there's others up here!

Hey you guys!

Finally joining in the club up here. I found mine on CL in the cities. It's been a fun project with a lot of work in elbow grease here. But so far it's totally worth it. I've got a 2000 Limited 3.4 auto w/ E-Locker. Right now it's a work in progress on maintenance and rust repair (mostly just surface) but I'm PORing it this month. Hopefully it helps! I'm tired of getting rust in my eyes when I'm working on it.

Goal is a mild lift with some good tires to get me where I want to go, with a sleeping platform and such. I'm really excited! And it's been a great opportunity to get the tools needed to do the work myself. I'm all about being hands on with it!

If anyone wants to do a get-together let me know! Should be an awesome time!

Good to have ya!

If you are interested I am probably going to be replacing my sleeping platform/drawers with something different shortly here since I have the tent and trailer now.

Wish I could join in this! It'd be great to meet some more people but I've been traveling too much for work. Keep me posted, and we should get a meetup going before the winter starts kicking in!
