looks good, glad to see ANOTHER green 4runner!

feel absolutely free to post up questions you might have.

Thanks, I will.

I've had a terrible time trying to find out of 285/75s will rub on the UCA, so I went ahead and bought some .24" spacers anyways. Tires should be mounted next week or so.

Did you seriously stick a Volvo badge on the front? lol

Haha, yep. I rebuild old Volvos as a hobby and I always have at least 2 on hand. The 4Runner is usually the parts runner for when I'm doing work.

Some of my more recent projects:

sweet green ones wheel better then the other colors :P

I sure hope so. I've done some light wheeling out to camp grounds and such but I doubt I'll ever do any real trails.

Heh. I have a 142 that's supposed to be mine. But that's a long story. Maybe you could fix it. :P

I don't know Troy, when I get a, um, how about orange, one, we'll see if we can disprove that comment. :P

oh its common knowledge at this point lol. a random orange one in the mix will not throw off the statistics :P

Sorry, I only mess with OHC motors. If it was a 240, I may be able to help.

Just joined Ultra-Newbie. I have a 2001 Tacoma 4X4 TRD that I (mostly carefully) wheel to remote places in the Western US and Baja Mexico in search of the spectacular. I bought this truck used with 165K highway miles and after a year of traveling, a few things have come up requiring attention.

The write-up here on UY for the 4Runner/Tacoma front axle replacement was the best I found after a while of searching. This forum has a cool helpful vibe.

I pledge to give back and post my experiences wrenching on my truck, as soon as I figure out what I'm doing . . . I just wish I could buy a brand-new 1989 4Runner SR5 . . . the last iteration of the first generation. I loved that truck!
