Im curious to see how some of you all started out, I believe my start was pretty bad.

First 4Runner I owned. $100...Got it from a friend after he smashed through some trees and into a pond. Oh yeah, he got a DUI from that too.

You can see that it was not equipped with much. There was no roof rack, tow hitch, air deflector, or any fender trim. Also notice the faded/damaged bumpers, broken antenna, cracked license plate molding, base black mirrors and door handles, and 15" wheels. Lots more hidden in the depths.



this is the interior after I first cleaned it

So mad I don't have a picture of my 87 when I first got it... It was baddddd!

250k miles on logging roads. No upkeep at all. Stock shocks. Interior was good, but the rest? Oh sweet, Jesus.

Here is when I got it on Christmas Eve last year (2010)

Not much has changed on the exterior. Please not the CHROME Tundra wheels (Blang blang)

Those tires were so hard, I understand why the previous owner only drove it 10k miles in 2 years. In the rain I was power sliding around every corner; I went over a steel bridge and almost crashed. Impossible to get traction with them.
