Thanks!!



Never advertised my 96 for sale. That was my dedicated off road truck with the TC Long Travel on it and dual ARBs. That truck would go anywhere!!

Keith, the former president of the MD Chapter of TTORA rolled his Tacoma over in the snow and a city snow plow truck lost control in the same spot and plowed his Tacoma into a pole. Keith pestered me and pestered me to sell him my 4Runner. Finally gave in and let it go and upgraded to the 2010 Trail.

My other 4Runner, a 2006 is my daily driver.



I just love spanking performance cars with it!!

Still got that 97 4Runner I bought of Sherowsky many moons ago.

Yeah, I guess he is, or was, selling it. I saw it in a classified ad on TTORA.

Lets see if I can refresh your memory.

I was the guy that bought your very first product. I might even have been your first official customer for your slider adapter for the HiLift. Still got it, still works great.

Got one for that RadFlo jack yet?

So is the 2006 faster than the ole '96? How does the '10 compare now?



Your 96 shared seats with my 11 second daily driver!! So Im very curious now - with the GTO seats did you retain the factory electric motors to control all the adjustments? GTOs are known for having slow motors to slide the seat forward. Did you ever address that issue?

I know right?! I still have my 90, she's been patiently waiting for me to fix her after her second catastrophic HG failure. I was entertaining rebuilding the 3vze, then discovered I could swap a 4.8/5.3 chevy LSx based engine AND th350 for less than rebuilding the 3vze.

Now just waiting on my tax return to arrive to get started.

In the mean time my full bolt-on, nitrous breathing GTO has served very well as a DD and kid hauler....but I need to carry 3 kids now, not just 2, so the 4runner will be back!!

ps - and glory be, there's now an EASY and CHEAP way to convert 90-95 4Runners to 4 wheel disc brakes!!!
