Just bought (2 weeks ago) a '98 4Runner Limited, 4x4, with diff locker. 180k miles, but I think $6200 was a good price. I used to be a Jeep guy, but after getting rid of my '97 Grand Cherokee a few years back in exchange for a commuter, I've missed 4 wheel drive. Decided to heck with it and began researching 4x4 vehicles again.
The only thing I've done to it so far is remove the running boards and put some new tires on it. BFG A/T 265/75 16's. I have seen these tires get a bad rap on here, but I have always been happy with them (used to run them on my Jeep) and for SoCal off-roading, they do the job. I'm no crawler or anything, but I do like to be able to explore and confidently get back and forth to my favorite fly fishing holes around here and in the Sierras. I'm planning on doing a body lift on it, just haven't decided what or when, probably in the next few months after some research and money saving.
Anywway, I've already found some GREAT info and have received a lot of help from this forum. I hope to be able to begin contributing valid and helpful information at some point, but I'll keep my uneducated mouth closed until I can. Until then, thanks for all the help and let me know if any of you in the Temecula area want to meet up and do some light to medium exploring around here in SoCal. I'll try to keep up.... Peace out.....flyte
