i just purchased a 99 4Runer today, 3.4L 5spd, 4WD. bone stock with 134k miles. it's too dark out there to take pictures, i will get some tomorrow.

i took it with my cellphone near my home few weeks ago.

p.s. maybe i should change my ID to 3rdGen,..

Good luck!

Welcome to UY! Are you in SoCal? If so, and that 4runner was driven by an angry Korean, then that was Bob98SR5. Very cool, I think that was our first sticker spotting! :thumbup:

2ndgen,

welcome to UY!

hopefully i didnt cut you off and give you the finger! :hillbill: what intersection of huntington was that?

since you're local, we should meet up. this week and next will be difficult, but the following week will be better. we can talk truck stuff. did you find my website www.4runners.org? there's alot of 3rd gen maintenance stuff on it that will probably help you get a good idea of what/how to do the important stuff. feel free to email me as well.

thanks for your kind words. i've been on mud but mainly on YT. i remember meeting some of you last year at Pismo, i'm the guy who had a blue 94 with a failing clutch, didn't make to the group shot.

i took few pictures of the new (to me) 99 today with my cellphone, side by side with the lifted 94. i got a good deal on it only AC is leaking, took it to my shop today but my guy was just too busy for the weekend crowd, i will have it taken care of next week.

i wish it has a locker but i'm not that greedy.

i won't do anything major untill the 94 is gone, i'm doing my reserch now on lift and front/rear bumpers and stuff. first thing first, tomorrow the side steps are gone...

bob,

it was at Huntington and Mountain, i think you went in to the Michael's/ Albertson's.

[Good Times]

Now that you're showing off your new and old toy I definitely remember ya! I believe your name was Tony right? My apologies in advance if I'm wrong.

So what's happening to your 2nd gen? selling or keeping both?

[slosurfer]

Hey Tony, how's it going? I know who you are now that I've seen the second gen. I think you'll have more fun with the 3rd gen out at the dunes, the better power will really shine through there.

[2ndGen]

i'm selling it asking 4 grand.

[GSU 4Runner]

I own a 2nd gen already, but I've always been attracted to that blue paint you have on yours, ashame you live in socal....anyways, nice 3rd gen rig you got, and yea you definitely can't be greedy about the locker, you already have more power than your 2nd gen.

[Skrillah]

Dang, I need to move out there to socal or at least out that way. So many more Yota followers...here in IN we only get Jeepers.

Nice rig and good luck on the build up. You'll have to keep us posted on upgrades and such as they come. Sounds like you got a good deal.

[MTL_4runner]

Good lookin' truck you got yourself Tony and welcome aboard.

[2ndGen]

okey!!! just sold my 94 about 10 minutes ago, i'll get the mod's going pretty soon. for all you 3rd gen veteran's, i'm going to order SS 1.2 lift kit monday, any tips and notes you wanna share before i call Steve?

[2ndGen]

just turned in my credit card for SS 1.2 kit with Steve, should be delivered here in couple weeks. is there anyone who would be lend me a hand putting them together? i have a friend will let me use his warehouse in City of Industry with compressor and forklift, i got hand tools and air tools, jacks, stands, and other stuff. please PM me your conditions, let's work it out.

i'm leaving tonight fishing Catalina and San clemente islands, no cellphone no internet till late Sunday night. if you you guys didn't hear from me this weekend, i'm NOT dead.

take care, ya'l.

[Good Times]

Tony PM me and we'll meet up. I'm very close!

[Seanz0rz]

id be willing to help out if it fits into my schedule, no guarantees though. so if you lock down a date, let me know and ill see if i can come by.

[2ndGen]

Lance, Sean, pm sent.

let's talk bout it sunday night.

thanks.

[Bob98SR5]

depending on day, i'll be willing to help out as well. when you say "compressor", do you mean air or spring?

[2ndGen]

bob,

that's air compressor. i will rent spring compressor from AZ.
