I know I could have put this in the intro section, but given I will likely spend all of my time here, I wanted to introduce myself here.
I've been actively looking for a few weeks and driven/looked at a handful of basket case trucks before finding this one for an awesome price after a bit of negotiating.
Its a '98 Limited with 190k miles and an E-Locker. While all belts, tires, air filter, trans fluid, etc look very new, because I don't have maintenance records, I will be tackling the timing belt, water pump, and potentially LBJ in the coming months (as they looked a bit perished).
The driver's seat bottom cushion is pretty rough, so I will be ordering a new one off Ebay for replacement and potentially either disabling the antennae or installing the fixed whip antennae. Finally the rear bumper rust isn't terrible, but being as I am super anal about my cars, I may well swap that for a replacement as well.




In addition to the 4Runner, I also own (2) BMW E36 M3s. A '95 M3 with 37k miles and every bolt-on mod under the sun:

....and my most recent project being an M3 sedan with an MK4 Supra motor (2JZ GTE) running ProEFI ECU among a ton of supporting mods to the tune of 775whp and 750wtq @ 27psi (32.5psi is max boost..but I worry about windowing my block with the stock rods at that level). Still a work in progress.
