yes this thing has alot of rust. to bad, it was my DD until last january when i was out drifting in the snow and slid into the ditch infront of one of those rich suburban mcmansions. I hit a huge rock, there was a little bumper damage, nothing to bad, nicked a wheel and knocked out the alignment. But strange enough a brake line broke. rusted right in half. So it got retired from DD uasage, then i had to drive my TJ, i really hate that thing!!!! Stupid heep.

I would like to cut out the rust and weld in new sheet metal, dosent have to look good, just keep out the wind/water/snow.

As for an engine i would love a 5vzfe, still looking for a good donar. I dont have time or parience to try to figure out the wiring so i will buy a ORS conversion kit. Then i can bolt it in and be done. I have been reading alot on yotatech about 3.4L swaps. After its in, if it goes in i will defintally find a used trd supercharger for it.

I grew up in the front seat of this 4runner, since i was 4 or 5 years old. I am not parting with it anytime soon. Its got about 194k on the clock and i am shooting for 300k.

I go to school in flint michigan, a pretty ruff city. Me and a friend go urban offroading alot. probally 3-4 times perweek. Basically we drive over the shit you would find in the ghetto, we drive thru vacant neighborhoods and climb a couple of really steep hills. I will have to take some pictures.
We have alot of fun up here!! My friend has a fzj80 and FJ cruiser and we both take alot of shit for having toyotas, this is chevy world here.

later
