newbie..saying hello

newbie here...just bought my first T4R today..

Spec Here:

1995 Limited V6 4x4 Green with Brown leather interior 112K miles from the original owner.

I've always admired the 4runner but never got around to buying one.
This time I needed a daily driver/beater and a roomier vehicle to haul stuff around..I found this SUV today and test drove it..she runs fine and everything seems to be in working order. No oil leaks, or smelly gas fumes, or vibrations except at the very first startup.

I hope to keep her for a looong time..

thanks for reading...pics will come later when i have her washed and cleaned up.

Mike

Thanks for the welcome David.

This will mostlikely be just a commuter unless I get a crazy hair to mod it..but I have too many projects to complete at this time.

thanks again
Mike

LOL, that's how it starts for everyone...

But, in the end, you will want it to be a little better here, a small bit better there... and before you know it you have a lift, tires, a 3.4 swap, dual t-cases,

The best part of these trucks is the sheer volume of aftermarket options available!

Thanks for the early warning about the MOD BUG... Like most of my cars, they NEVER stay stock.

I'm quite familiar with Forum rules when it comes to "SEARCHING"..so you won't see me ask redundant questions (well, not all the time anyway). I will definitely utilize the search function. Thats probably why it has this annoying blink and it's Yellow which is hard to miss...LOL!

The good thing about toyota's is that you can take all that money that you would be pouring into other cars to fix, into modding the hell out of the toyota.
