new 4runner owner and fan

[delgadog]

hi all, i'm new to t4r's. i bought my first new to me 1995 3.0 4x4 sr5 t4r 2 weeks ago, i named him Gossamer, from loony toons. it has the usual overheating issue, but thankfully no head gasket issues, just replaced the radiator, water pump, belts and all the heater hoses. i'll be getting it up and running again soon. i think it was a steal, it was $1300. i like it alot, didn't realize all the gadgets it has. i attached a couple of pics. theres no lift and not planning on anything crazy. future plans include, rims and tires and after market bumpers as well as rock sliders.

wheels

wheels and tyres is a must! that would change everything- check my ones if interested . best regards

thanks all! yea i checked out those websites, other than those main ones, not much out there... i would love to do wheels and tires, but the truck came with new tires so i'm just goin to ride those out until i need new ones.lol. i want to do 15-16 black rim and something like 31s. nothing crazy, this is a family truck after all.lol.

the price wasn't bad, so far i've put almost $400 more into it, with brand new radiator, belts, water pump, and just bought all new heater hoses...so in total almost $1700... interior isn't bad, just one rip on the driver seat (its an old truck, what do u want). everything works, just needs a good cleaning and misc plastic pieces like seat adjuster lever and an a/c lever as well as a replacement arm rest for the driver side.

so far i love her and i've only driven her a total of 15miles...lol she hasn't seen a lot of road time, been siting in the yard waiting for parts to come in...
