Longtime lurker

Hello all--

I'm here after taking my '02 on its first real camping trip under my ownership... Pine Barrens in New Jersey.

I'm the fourth owner of a 225,000 mile '02 Limited, and I love this little truck.
I want to build this for camping trips with my young kids.

I'm in the Northeast, so trails aren't too gnarly, but I dream of making some big trips out west when the kids are older (and my offroad skills a little more polished)

My truck has its usual run of east coast rust, but it came to me in a pretty un-touched state. I'm pretty sure the sparkplugs hadn't been changed in its 22 years of existence.

I've been doing maintenance, replacing bushings, cleaning up the frame, and fixing electrical connections. Got the 4wd actuators working properly, cut out a horrid aftermarket alarm, did as much stage zero as I can.

And I put some Moog '99 talls on there along with Bilstein 5100s. I'm going to have some suspension questions in another thread.

 

Welcome

 

Welcome from Sussex County! What the Pines lack in rocks and steepness, they make up for in sugar sand.

 

Welcome sounds like a fantastic vehicle. Enjoy. The folks on this forum are awesome and have a wealth of knowledge and I’m sure someone can help out with your suspension questions.

 

Welcome!

 

Be careful out there man. That's where Paulie Walnuts & Chris Moltisanti got lost!




Let us know if you find that Russian they tried to whack! Rumor has it, he was an interior decorator.

 

Welcome

 

I like how you’re working your way through all the trouble spots on your 4Runner one at a time! By the inch it’s a cinch, you’ll get it fixed up! Welcome to the forum!
