    Hi All!

    I am new to the forum and bought my 4Runner back in September 2024 and brought it back from Arizona to my home state. Drove it near 2k miles after flying out to look at it. It was risky not knowing the truck, but I knew being a Toyota 4Runner, if it ran, I am sure it would make it home with some help. It ran fine and made it all the way home topping off its odometer at 341XXXmiles. This thread is going to be all my updates and changes I have made to the truck since buying it! I hope you all enjoy!

    So this was when I bought it. I thought I had found the cleanest 3rd Gen, with a 5 Speed Manual in existence...but boy was I wrong... It had some hidden damage.

    Pictures coming soon.
