    Greetings all and happy new year!

    I'm Claus and I live in WV.
    Got a 2000 SR5 4runner that I've had since early 2017. It has about 400K miles on it, and the exact number is unknown, since a past owner changed the instrument cluster.
    No mods at all, just drive it as is. It's my daily driver for work (I'm a courier), so I'll add about 70 miles on it daily.
    It's pretty ugly (white) with a badly rusted rear bumper, but I do keep up with the maintenance on it and change oil every 5000 miles.
    Small leak around the top, probably a valve cover gasket, but it doesn't eat too much oil between oil changes, and only rarely do I have to add a quart.
    It's dependable as no other vehicle I've had. Nothing but a couple of batteries and brakes in the almost 7 years I have owned it.

    Any questions just shoot me a message or add a reply here.

    Happy new year!

    SRQ fabrications 3” lift completely rebuilt front end Toyota lower ball joints, freedom off-road uca, moog lca, SRQ extended sway bar links, JDM motor swap with 50k on it, 300+k miles on chassis, roof light bar, extended steel braided brake lines, rebuilt rear drums all brand new components, she’s a work in progress. Next up is front and rear bumper upgrades, snorkel, winch, new tires soon and last on list will be a fresh wrap over top of the California sun baked paint (I want it known I do not live in Cali, I’m in northern Michigan, thank God, lol). This rig has been a passion project for my wife and I over the past couple years, we work and live on the road out of my semi truck pulling oversized loads so we only get so much time to contribute to the ole girl, but we love it and it’s been a great learning experience for us to do together.
    Hey Claus welcome from Michigan, I’ve got a 97’ with 300+ on the chassis but is got a 55k JDM swap in it now

    I posted in the forum (3rd Gen) about not being able to remove my ignition cylinder.
    Was hoping someone had an idea or two, preferably something that doesn't involve drill bits and excessive violence with a sledgehammer ☺️
