New 3rd Gen Member 96

Greetings from the Central Valley, California. I've owned my 96 SR5 for 18 years. 225,710 miles. Occasionally it's possible to love a vehicle, and this is the second one for me. My first was a 55 Chevy Belair. I started my Toyota adventures with a 1980 SR5 pickup, followed by a 1987 pickup, and now currently have the 4Runner. I've recently done a few things on it. New shifter shims, driver side transaxle, replaced the front differential with a used one, new output seals on differential, rotors and brakes, tapped the skid plate threads and added stainless bolts. Thanks to YouTube videos, and trial and error, the work was educational. Here are a few photos taken recently. Thanks for adding me to the forum.

 

Welcome, and thanks for the pics.

Welcome from Wisconsin! The under-side pics show what climate can do for a vehicle, thanx for the pics.

 

Welcome! Great looking vehicle

 

Thanks for the comments. Yea, I grew up in Iowa so I am familiar with the corrosion caused by salted winter roads.

 

Welcome

Eye candy! You even have all 3 front skid bolts, two of mine snapped off.

 

Mine were stripping so I tapped them and added stainless.
