Well I am super stoked on this, no no no its not a total badass truck, yet! But It is my first truck I have owned that can suit off-road trailing. can't wait to start transforming her!

The guy told me that the first owner wired it all up for a sound system and replaced all the speakers around with good ones because he worked at RC Willeys. Power everything except for a power unlocker thingy that goes on the key ring lol.

Also has 2 spots of cancer, one on the rear wheel flare and on the tailgate, but for $2900 bux with a super clean title, I would say I did alright. And has no dents or body damage other than cancer and other vehicle door dents.



Like I say, nothing special but it will be when I am done with it :D

And best of all, its BLACK! I am going to be hitting some amber lenses and signal markers with a light coat of Nightshade darkening spray to get a nice black on black theme right off the wagon :D

Hey sweet congrats man! One of the best rigs ever built.
 
Glad to know lol. Itll need an alignment, new tire, oil change and coolent top off and registraion with insurance. Will be on the road by Tuesday night.

Thanks for the kind words :D
 
It has the 3.0 SR5 engine, with 176k. Just got it 100% road legal today and could not wait to hit some mud!!

I am darkening the tail-lights now and will get pics of the muddy beauty here in just a bit.

I am now surfing the net for some local wuss trails that I can go enjoy myself on, and lets just say this 4x4 is tuff!! Even being an automatic it handled itself nicely.

Stay tuned ! :D

Thanks for all of the kind words :D
 
Nice 4-Skinner.

I have a 96 SR5 V6 5-speed with about 135k on it. 5 speed though. It's a solid ride and I plan on driving it for as long as I can.
 
Mine wasn't a 4runner bit I had a 94 pickup with the v6 and loved it, it had lockers and 456 gears to help with the 33s and the auto trans.
 
Grats nice buy i love my yota pickup even tho its 2wd but I've always wanted a 4runner
