New Guy here

Hi all, New to the site. Been wanting a 93-95 SR5 for a few years now. Best friend got me hooked on them, then uncle, then dad. Now I have one! It averages 23.5 mpg on the interstate, and 19 in town or if Im driving with a loaded runner. Had 144, 468 when I bought it.

Thanks for the comments and the welcome. I am torn right now. Do I keep the wife happy and keep it a daily driver, OR Do I go out an Mod it up... 4-wheelin is a family affair, if I can convince her of that... who knows.... Again guys thanks for the welcome.

why not keep it as a DD AND mod it up??
lots of us do it... i mean, look at olharleyman...
hes got a S/C'd 3.4 swap going into a truck with a procomp stage 2, lockers, 5.29s, and 35 inch tires, and his DD for the time being is an SAS'd runner with, 4 inches of lift, 5.29s and 35s as well...

not all of us are that radical, but where theres a will, theres a way...

Thats a clean 4runner. Props on the 5sp, gettin hard to find fully loaded 4runners without automatics (Eww!)....

Don't be scared of modding your truck, there are quite a few nice easy mods that will make your truck nicer to drive
