UY Newbie

[Crazychopstick]

Hey guys, I've been lurking UY for a while but never posted so I thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm local to the Austin area and was a regular on TS before my truck was wrecked. I think I'm still newbie status on YT. I don't post much on either forum now. Maybe UT is the forum for me.

I drive a 1997 Toyota 4Runner, 150K miles, auto, 4WD, a lot of maintenance things had to be addressed, because the PO didn't but it's been a nice reliable daily since then.

Anyways, just thought I'd say hi.

Hi! Maybe you're right and will find this is the forum for you - after all, I lurk around here, an I don't even drive a Toyota. At least, not yet.
