Arrow Newbie just got a Toy! Pics.

Hey guys, nothin' special to you guys I'm sure, but it's new to me and I'm stoked. I scored this little beauty last weekend. I've been wanting a little 4 banger pickup for a long time, and I thought what's better than a Toyota!

Here's some pics.

Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3 Pic 4

Hopefully my server doesn't crap out on me

Anyway, I have tons of questions, but I'll continue to lurk and search around for a while before I start asking too many dumb newbie questions.

Hahaha, that damn XJ, it always gets all of the attention

Yeah, that's my "weekend rig". Crazy thing is, it has lower miles than any of my other rigs I also have a Grand Cherokee, with the 5.9 Magnum motor.

Thanks man.

Edit: Here's a better pic of it:

It looks funny without the roofrack, and it's off in that pic because it won't fit in my garage with the roofrack on it. I actually have two roofracks for it

Hahaha, you guys are awesome.

Yeah, I've been into 4wheelin' for quite sometime, and one of my best 4wheelin' buddies runs a 4Runner. He tears it up.

I very rarely get pics of him, cause he's always way out front, tearin' it up

Thanks guys.

Glad you like the Evo page Lee.

The past few weeks I've been researching a lot of Toyota stuff and oh man would I love to make this pickup a crawlin' monster. It would be soooo easy to do. Almost easier than it was to build my XJ it seems. Even the solid axle swap looked cake. As much as I would love to do that, I can't. The Toy pickup will be my daily driver, and with my 35 mile, one way commute everyday.... another built up rig just isn't an option for me.

You never know in a couple years though I still plan on getting some new, wider wheels for my Toy, and it's already got 31's, so it's not exactly a tiny rig. I may even toss a very small body lift on it to give it more clearance for the tires.

Hahaha, it's okay Kyle, it's to be expected. My XJ is pretty flashy

Also, you say it's a 3rd gen? I thought a '92 was a 2nd gen Toy. I could be wrong.

I see you're in Lacey. I actually bought the Toy in Puallyup. I'm in Moses Lake.

Man, that truck is in great shape! It gets harder to find 2nd gens in good condition every passing day.

it's a pretty common point of confusion since there's a lot of 4runner people here. 1st gen 4runners came out around the same time as 2nd gen 4wd trucks. for 4x4 trucks, 1st gen is '79-83, 2nd is '84-88, and 3rd is '89-95.

moses lake huh? i love going over to that area in the summer and fishing the potholes...practically grew up over there
