Whats up yotatech, been a lurker for a while now, but finally signed up about a week after I bought my toy.

From hawaii, just bought my first toy. 1990 4runner. V6, 4x4, fresh tires and brake pads, and it puuuuurs. Flowmasters.

Original asking price: $3000...I got it down to $1800.

The guy doesn't know how to take down the add, so here's the link to it. lol

Problems with it...2 major leaks and the colors I make in my toilet look better. Leaks in the front main engine seal and leaks in the rear main engine seal. Today I spent the day power washing everything, decreasing, and removing the tacky stickers.

Other than that, the interior is very clean, AC blows snow, and I love best part is the smell...... Colorado cherry baby.

Tomarrow, dropping the tranny to fix rear main engine seal. Since tranny is down, might as well replaces the seals in it. Next weekend is the front main engine seals.

I plan on doing all the work with the help of friends and uncles. I'm a certified NAVY and ABS welder, so I should have no problem fabricating what ever. In fact, I was thinking of making a bumper similar to these. http://www.shrockworks.com/Toyota-Fr...ers-c-276.html

I was thining 4-6" suspension lift, with a 2" body lift. Not sure on brand, but I'm only 16...turning 17 in jan, so I don't have as much as everyone else here to spend. But I NEED SOME ADVICE ON WHICH BRAND TO GET.

Any advice is welcomed, and I'll post some other pics when i get a chance.
