    I just purchased my first Toyota a few days ago and figured I'd join a community with knowledgeable members. I've owned mostly Subarus and had very little issues with them. My newest addition is a 2002 4runner SR5 with roughly 220,000 miles on it. I got it for less money than expected because it needed a new radiator and the brake and ABS lights stay on. At one point in my life I was an ASE certified mechanic but I specialized in Hondas. I know my way around most Japanese cars and trucks so I figured I would take a chance and buy this one.

    Thanks everyone. Glad to be a part of the group. I probably won't post many questions on here because, so far, every question I've had has been answered... thoroughly.

    So far I've replaced the radiator and changed the oil and filter. (I used the OEM filter because I'm not sure about using my usual K&N filter on a T4R). I just received my Bilstein rear shocks yesterday so I'll probably get those on in the next week or so. The current shocks definitely need to be replaced as they have 220k miles on them. I'm always open to suggestions if anyone has advice for preventive maintenance.
