New 2nd Gen 4Runner Owner

Greetings,

Just a quick note to say hey. I just bought a '93 2WD 4Runner SR5 with 102K miles.

I've owned a GMC Typhoon for the last 8 years and have grown tired of it. I needed something I could drive everyday and not worry about where I park or door dings. The Typhoon is for sale - but I won't be too sad if it has to stay in the garage for awhile

Anyway - I look forward to helping where I can. I'm more than willing to help people wrench if needed. Since I'm new to the scene - I'll be needing lots of help also. I'll get some pics up after I spend some time with the buffer. Why did I buy another black car?

Welcome. My GSX is black and I was hoping for a black 4runner but I ended up buying a red one.

My Ty is white - which people say is so easy to keep clean - bah! It isn't as bad as black - but it is a pain. The Murano is black. I didn't really care what color what the 4Runner was - it just ended up everything else was perfect. I couldn't descriminate because it was black The real sad thing is the 4Runner sits outside (until the Ty goes) so it is even more hard to keep clean.

I'm thinking a nice coat of mud will be better

Thanks for the welcome.

I have the V6, for now. Who knows what the future holds. I'm going to TRY to not mod this much - but that isn't easy for me. If the engine goes - I'll be looking towards a LS1 V8/T56 out of a Camaro. Maybe.

It isn't a 4WD, so any swap complications will be cut in half.

But, until it breaks - it'll be all bolt-ons.
