Hey Everybody. I have been lurking around here for a while now and wanted to start by saying I have browsed many forums looking for info but YT is the first 'online community' that I have ever felt compelled to be apart of.

I have a '96 4runner SR5 that is completely stock at the moment (unless you count removing the running boards a mod). It has been my wife's DD until recently. Now that it has retired from DD status it is mine to do with as I please.

Thanks to YT I have a long list of wants but they will come slowly. Plans for the near future are some 265/75 AT or MTs, some sliders, and to start wheeling! Long term wants are: more armor, Tundra TRD/LC lift, 285s, locker, etc.

 

Welcome! You will find lots of nice people here with a tremendous amount of Toyota knowledge. Beware this place does rock however it will also empty your bank account. LOL I am from NC so not too far from ya.

 

Welcome to Yotatech.... my 4runner was stock at one point but its better now

 

Welcome. I'm in Charleston, SC. Maybe we can meet up some time to do some wrenching. My current plans are to install an OME option 2 lift kit next month followed by a timing belt replacement around Christmas. I've never done either but I do have a lift and some buddies to help with the springs and shocks. The timing belt replacement will more than likely be a blood bath as I have no clue what I'm doing...

I love my 4runner. I just wish I'd stop breaking stuff when I'm using it. Seems like everytime I come out of the woods (usually in there hunting or scouting) something else needs fixing. But that's the awesome thing about YT. I can almost always do a search to find out how someone else has fixed the same thing.

 

welcome from another carolina runner

 

Thanks for the welcome's, guys. Yeah I know there is a lot of knowledge here -- I've been lurking for a while trying to soak it all up. I think I've learned all I can from reading and need to start doing. And I think I am about to start learning about the bank account thing.

Hope to see you Carolina guys on the trails soon.
