    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.1A.jpg 1f.jpg 20221015_134052.jpg 20221015_140714.jpg

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