Well here's my latest Toyota - "PURPLE HAZE". It's a 1996 Sr5 4runner with the 3.4litre and 5speed. 350,000 kms on the odometer. Many more to come. Its been a lot of fun getting it set up the way I want, and I still have many more projects planned. It just takes time and money. Thanks for looking.


PLEASE DO NOT POST REPLIES TO THIS THREAD, AS REQUESTED BY THE MODERATORS. THANKS.

This photo was taken near our cabin in the wilds of Beautiful B.C. (I have since lifted the truck and have 265/75 16 Toyo Open Country MT's on it. I had 31 x 12.5" ProComp XTerrains on it in this photo.)

"Purple Haze" - 1996 Toyota 4Runner SR5, 3.4l V6, 5speed tranny, all options that I know of except for a sunroof and a locker (Damn).

This truck has been in the family since almost new and I have every receipt from over the years. It's a testament to Toyota OEM quality to say that at 350,000 kms the only parts (besides regular tune-up parts) that were not put on the truck in Japan when it was built, are the brakes, battery, fuel pump, shocks and coils, diff actuator, a couple of coil packs, the steering rack (My fault - I neglected to replace the rotted out bushing), an ABS speed sensor and the muffler. The radiator, clutch, alternator, starter, etc. etc. are all original, and it still runs great! Gotta love Toyotas.
