Ok a little bit about me. I grew up working on cars with my dad and have always had a passion for builds. From my 1994 trans am stroker build, to countless m3's, 335i's, Silverados, and 4runners, I've done my fair share.
For the last 5 years I stopped building because I wanted to concentrate on my career and finishing school. when I was 27, about 3 years ago, I ordered my 2017 Camaro ZL1 that I received March 2017 and have kept stock since then. 3 years forward to now, I find myself in a place where I can now do the fun things while being somewhat responsible financially.
So here we are. This new dream started 6 months ago. I had owned a 2005 2wd v8 Camburg LT rig that was bought built, but it didn't cut it for me. Sold it and bought a stock 2003 v8 4wd limited and that was fun but still didn't cut it. sold that as well. Then, 5 months ago I bought another 2003 4wd limited v8 but this one had the TRD supercharger on it. So I thought, this is it. The ordering started.
Fast forward to the first week of December. I browsed craigslist for random 4runner parts and stumbled upon a 2006 Shadow Mica v8 4WD sport. It had a bad engine. I called up the person and drove up 2 days later to pick it up. So now I have 2 4runner v8 4wd vehicles sitting in my driveway. I truly fell in love with the sport facelift model so I decided to keep that one and give my dad the supercharged one. So here starts the build.
