Casey is currently wrapping up his bachelor's degree in Sociology at Cal State Fullerton. He originally got the 4runner back in 2002 from his father who used it as his daily driver. The truck started off a base model 2WD 4 cylinder with 29" tires. As the years passed, he found himself more and more interested in making the truck more capable off road. So he did some research to get the truck converted to 4WD using only stock parts from a wrecked Tacoma. With the help of Steve Schaefer, the truck was soon a capable off road machine. While he hasn't had much time lately to take the truck off the pavement, he hopes to find some time once he is finished with school.
