Not really new, joined in 2011 but havent really been on t4r.org.. Anyways, back in August I traded one of my 86' Celica Supras after I fixed it up (motor swap/new tranny, etc) for a 98' 4runner Sr5 with 138k on the dash. I didn't want to trade but ik my integra wasn't gonna get me through the snow when winter hits, plus I just couldnt pass it up! The 4runner has been into an accident though. Didn't notice before the trade, but inside the engine bay on the passenger side, the sheet metal is crumpled a bit. Not bad at all.

I'm not new to Toyotas, as this is my third 3rd gen 4runner. I've always enjoyed these trucks in the snow and out of the snow. Only thing that sucks is the gas mileage. I dont daaily it because of that, but now I'll have to since snow just hit Wisconsin. Future plans after I finish my red supra is to lift it 2" or more, add a Jaos spoiler, get bigger tires, and add an aftermarket front and rear bumper.

Anyways, we all LIKE PICSS!






And my baby that I traded..

Looks good! Hopefully the previous damage isn't too bad. That will definitely get you through the winter snow.
 
Welcome fellow midwesterner!

FYI - there is a section of the forum for meeting/greeting others in your specific area.
 
Thanks! & the damage isn't bad. Just that the headlight trim undernrath pass side pops out from time to time. Gotta find a way to keep it in! Anyways I'm glad to be apart of the T4R forums. I must say though, that modding these trucks seem way more expensive then modding my supras!
 
Nice looking 7M! I had a MKIII that I restored to like new condition. Made 430 hp...I have only driven one car that I liked as much as that one, and that was a supercharged M3.

Anyways, welcome!
 
Pics , as promised!

Ran into an old Supra buddy.





And how my red one sits right now, after the new motor transplant..
Awesome! Are these the last of the rear wheel drive Toyotas? The RWD 80 Corolla hatchback I bought for $130 in 1989 and a friend with an 80's Celica who really knew how to drive is what got me into Toyotas in the first place.
