First 4runner!

So this is my first runner I've owned but am very familiar with them from friends and owning similar Lexus suvs, but this has been one of my favourite vehicles since I was only 8 and my neighbors bough one just like this one!

So for the run down its a 1993 SR5 4x4 v6 auto with 226k on it and a newer motor with 15k on it it's rust free (even the underneath is rust free!) As its from TN and I'm in WI after losing my last car after losing a job and a report I found this beautiful, dented, mismatching headlighted piece for 900$! The owner said it needed a waterpump and it would spray coolant all over making my 30 minute drive home a 2 hour affair. after arriving home I discovered not only was the waterpump fine but the issue was a simple cut heater line (I thing it's a 6inch tube above the water pump) and 1.50 in tube and clamps later she runs like a top! I couldn't believe it was only 900$!

So now I've decided to start modding and go for a daily/ camping trail ready style build. My plans are a 2" inch lift and some KC hilighters on the rack up to and two on a offroad bumper up front. A decent sound system, and finally (after having many parts from a celica already) going to be strapping a turbo from a 1995 celica to this bad boy in hopes of 8 psi and a good boost in power!

So I love my new t4r and after lurking for so long before buying this I'm proud to be apart of your community and hope there are some of you in the green bay area to do yota stuff with thanks and hope you dig the writeup!

Want to keep it Toyota parts and not sure how well they handle boost but I'm sure it can take a good 8-12 psi
