Hello everyone! My name is Kevin, and i'm completely new to yotas... Was referred here by Chris (slosurfer) when i found him on yotatech.
Anyway, nuff of the boring stuff. I just bought my 91 SR5 v6 (3.slo :shake: )... Picked her up locally for a STEAL... Paid $800 for her, because the previous owner was moving out of town, and the starter was out. So $120 and a little over an hour later, the starter is fixed, and i have a great truck ^_^. Best part? She has a brand new rebuilt motor! (about 2000 miles)! It is completely stock except an old stereo system (tape deck and external cd changer!!), and a set of bashed up 15" Eagle Alloys (series 206) with 31" Remington Wide Brutes... I have a brand new set of Cragar Soft 8's sitting in my garage waiting to go on though ;) I took her out for her inaugural photoshoot today ;)
Meet Kiara ;)

Showin a bit of flex:

Buried the hitch mount in the sand:

Between the sad stock flex and the open diffs, i couldn't quite make it up on the second stump...

So, as it seems everyone does, im already starting my mental list of mods... Up first i think will be a set of BJ spacers and cruiser coils, because the amount of flex in a stock 4runner isnt much, but the cruiser coils seem to open up the rear end a LOT... then hopefully (crosses fingers that they have them again) an Aussie locker in the rear...
Also, i should be joining you all for the Pismo Jamboree, as i go out there all the time (like 2ce a week ;)) since i live about 20 mins away from the dunes.
I like the attitude on this forum a lot better than that on Yotatech, so i'll probably be sticking around here, and only go back there to search for tech stuff, as they have massive amounts of info posted there... lol
