I've been lurking for probably 8 months now - maybe longer. I just want to say THANKS to Yotatech and it's members! This place has been a tremendous help with my project/daily 95 4Runner. It was my uncles, I still remember when he got it and driving it when it was new. I finally got my hands on it after my Dad picked it up off him and decided he didn't like it. I got it with frozen front calipers, ripped CV boot, and in dire need of a fuel filter and tune up. My Uncle did love it and waited for two years before he gave it away. It sat for almost all of the 2 years. No wonder Dad didn't like driving it!

Me being me, I addressed the issues and consulted Yotatech and she's all sorted out and then some. It has been dealer maintained so it didn't take me long, all the typical 3.slow issues have been done. Head gaskets done by recall, new clutch at 170k, new timing belt at around the same time.

We bought a 23 ft sailboat recently and had to address the ass sag so I picked up some Pro Comp 4" rear springs and got in touch with Roger at 4crawler.com for the panhard and LSPV bracket. He was super helpful and shipped the stuff straight out to me. He's the man! I wasn't happy with the springs completely - they were way to big. So I lopped off 1 1/2 coils to get it to the height I liked. I know it's not the best idea - but it will work for what I need. It's not going to be offroaded or abused so.... Anyway, here she is...

Before with ugly running boards...
