hey just thought I'd introduce myself. im from Alberta canada and im currently on my second 4runner.

thats my current truck, the pic is old its from when i got it. its a 92 3VZ 5speed, grey interior. pretty much stock except I put on some OME front shocks (came with blown shocks) since the pic i've taken off the granny boards and taken off all the decals on one side of the truck (its a slow process)

and a pic of my first 4runner, she was a total POS, but it ran like hell. it was a 22RE 5sp, rusted out to hell, and had around 350,000kms on it.


next up is the OME rear springs, shocks, and BJ spacers up front. also got a friend selling some 31x10.5 bridestone dueler MT's i may pick up

Welcome to the family blacklabel.
Very nice clean looking 2dr you have there.

JohnRaven

Sweet 2 door! Those decals look pretty sweet actually! I would have kept em!

blacklabel

I'm currently in Edmonton but plan on moving down to somewhere in the canadian rockies as soon as I'm done my apprenticeship

aviator - thanks man, I love my ladies clean and shaven. I'll have to get some recent pics it looks 100x better without the cheezy 1990's graphics

...and since I was digging up pics of my old 4runner, I gotta post pics of my old baby. Sold her to use the cash for a down payment on a home. I went from driving this RX7 to a $500 rusted 4runner. BUT I did enjoy the 4runner so much I had to buy another, and now im happy with my 92.




still miss going topless though.

johnraven - I'm fixing the rust and then re-painting the truck so the decals HAD to go. I may do something simelar to that after paint, but we'll see

Welcome to YotaTech! I like that 2 door runner.

deines97runnah

Nice clean runner you got there. Nice RX7 as well, they didnt make too many of those convertables did they? Damn rotory engines, winding out to 7-8-9 grand no sweat.

Jay351

Nice 2 door! Would look great lifted a inch or two

that is a beautiful truck... i have had the opprotunity to see a few 2doorsin person, and they were either black or silver... nice to see a color like red on one... and yes, i like the "cheezy 90's graphics" as well... you just cant find that personality on vehicles anymore...
WELCOME!!

Jay351

Hehe, I see so many two doors around my area its not even funny Red,blue, green, silver, LHD, RDH, turbo etc. etc.

Nice lookin' runner welcome to YotaTech

bigt

i hear there is so many clean runners out west.. i bet i have the cleanest 91 in all of ontario!

blacklabel

thanks for all the welcomes everyone.

deines97runnah - in north america there were very few convert RX7's. and all of them were non-turbo. I got a japan-imported one, it was right hand drive, but it was turbo. and it also had a 5sp swap done to it (they were all auto) so i had one of a kind 5sp turbo vert. BUT right hand drive in north americ sucks and it was a PITA to make right hand turns.

oh, and i sealed the deal on the 31 inch MT's today so next up is a 2inch lift

Pretty rare around here. I am with you- those graphics had to go....

btw, welcome back into the saggy butt club...

aviator

Too bad you had to sell the 7...
So far as the graphics go except for that cheesy 4x4 I did'nt think they looked too bad...
There is a link here someplace to a supplier that can set you up with the factory original graphics for your model year if you wanted to go the full resto route.

blacklabel

yeah the 4X4 decal was the first to go on both sides. I think if i get graphics again i'll probably design something myself and have the vynal shop cut it all out for me. but thats cool someone is repro the orig ones.

..and i am once again in the saggy butt club.

aviator

I think OME makes some viagra springs that help with that...
