I joined this site 13 years ago when I was in high school driving a 1992 4Runner sr5. I went from that to a turbo maxima, to a 350z to a supercharged 4Runner....lol

How she sits as of 10/2/16



I bought a 2002 SR5 in 2013 with 180k miles for $5k. I wish I would have done more research - but all I knew at the time was I wanted a newer 3rd gen with 4x4, fender flares, no leather, and decent mileage/price. If I were searching again, I would have definitely tried to find a supercharged / rear locked 3rd gen. Oh well.

This is a photo of my first time taking it off road (very mild) @ Slaughterhouse Gulch in Colorado - 2013.

I learned the hard way to not go snow wheeling solo



Her evolution...



September 2015 - Lift + Tires




January 2016 - SCS wheels






March 2016 - Satoshi grille + Addicted Offroad Front Bumper


April 2016 - Winch + Rock Sliders



June 2016 - Savage Rear Bumper



July 2016 - TRD supercharger




My goal is to continue its lifespan to 900k miles. I want it to be a reliable 50/50 off / on road brute with capabilities of recovering, camping, towing, hauling ass & overall comfort. My transmission sometimes will whine very softly...other times it's normal.

I want to set a goal to see as many 4x4 trails in CO, UT, PNW...etc
