Pretty eerie how similar they are...mine has been completely gone through in the last 6,000 miles.
Rebuilt engine, new head, rebuilt tranny, transfercase, new ujoints, balanced driveshaft, new radiator, ac compressor, all hoses, new balljoints, etc., new Yukon 4.88 gears front and rear. Detroit locker rear and a lockrite in the front. LCE header also. 1.5 balljoint spacer too.
Now for the real kicker, I just noticed where Chef is from....I went through Palos Verdes Yesterday. I was hunting in D14 (san bernadino forest area).
I live near Yosemite National Park.

Nice Runners you two. I like Traction's wheels. They're shinier 
On a side note, I'm heading to SC tomorrow for a few months. After that I'll be in VA for about a year. If I still have a truck when I get back (someone is borrowing it till I can drive it again) I got some big plans. Roll-on bed liner, custom headache rack w/ LED lights, custom bumpers front/rear, lift, winch, and finish it up with a paint job. My weathered fenders and black hood are really getting to me. Sticking with the same color, minus the P stripes.
Who knows, I might be posting a "Is it worth fixing or should I scrap it?" thread... lol.. KIDDING (I hope)
Y'all don't miss me while I'm gone.

New to the site. been lurking for a while though. figure its time to add my .02
Here is my 95 4Runner 3.0hh V6. Bought it stock and sagging w/ 140k for $1500. added flowmaster exhaust, procomp springs and bj spacers to fit the Km2's. Hella 500's, removed sway bars frnt and rear, Rear chop almost finished. Looking for a few last parts to start my SAS. using a dana 44 67" wms/wms w/ 37x13.00x16. and a matching rear. just need a good deal on gear sets. Then its getting Dual case and twin stick.
Before the Chop-


After the Chop-

I am going to Haiti on Sunday to do some volunteer work for the second time.
We get around mostly in these Toyota trucks that are straight up bulletproof.
I came across this photo of a work crew driving upstream.
