hey guys after reading these forums religiosly for the past 9 months (when I frst got the yota bug =P) I managed to save enough money to buy the right Toyota at the right price. She's got ur typical yota rust and came with new 31" tires, Bluetooth support , iPod hookup and even a plug in cooler! Best part I only paid $1000 its a 1992 v6 4x4 auto 3.0l with 266,000km , drives like a beauty too

First thing I wanna change is the rusty muffler and tail pipe, any suggestions on what to get?

 

sounds like you picked up a steal!!! nice work..

You can always get a custom job done at a muffler shop.. what area are you in?

 

Welcome to the club!

 

Welcome to the Wide World of YOTATECH!

Exhaust choices are endless...I've owned ultraflow(dynomax) with my 3.0 and flowmaster with my 3.4 and like them both. There are a bunch of videos demonstrating the sound choices but it's always best to hear it in person....

 

Welcome to the forum. I have a flowmaster on my 92 pickup. 3.0 auto and I like the sound. Not to loud,but when you get on the gas, it gives a little roar.

 

Thanks guys, I've decided to go with the flow master after hearing the roar , I would rather give it a shot at installing it myself then a getta shop to do my work. I'm located in lower mainland, BC , Canada. Next time I have access to a pc illl upload some pictures (im on my phone atm)

 

Borla turbo muffler sounds amazing on the 3.0 sounds nice and throaty. youll like it. theres vids on youtube you can hear it but they dont do it much justice. then just have a shop run the new pipes, i think 2 1/2- 3 inch even would be ok if you keep your cat on, without the cat id go below 3 inch to help keep back pressure.

 

A grand for a 4Runner? What a steal! Do you have any pics of your ride?

 

But not proud enough to take a picture uh?

Just kidding,, congrats

 

Welcome!

 

I finally got off my lazy ass and decided to post some pictures of my rig/progress. Shes come along way since I bought it in august, now I know why everyone calls these there money holes

The first pic is how she looked when i bought her

 

heres the rest

 

Looks good. What kinda rims?

 

Is that the sandpit at 192nd and 32nd??

I live in Langley too, keep an eye out for my Runner around town, ill have my eye out for yours haha.

Heres mine, your twin.

 

I'm from Surrey.

Nice Yota, I've got the same year.

 

17 inch american racing rims off a 2005 4runner, i sanded them then painted them black. I really wanted 15 inch rims but i got these tires for free , starting to like the 17s more though

 

Thats a sweet yota you got there, and yeah you know it that is the sand pit , ill deffintly be looking for yours, surprised i havent seen it yet

 

ive been following your build thread for a while, hopefully one day my rig will be as badass as yours

 

Thanks! I hope to be moving back to BC in a year or so. I'll probably have some parts to sell when I do.

 

BC is the place to be! heres a bit of an update, made some fender flares out of landscape edging and got a hood visor. I also bought a spare tire carrier from a 1992 4runner (the toyota made ones) 100$ at a junk yrd. Gonna put fresh paint then put it on after i install a steel backing plate into the tailgate~
