I just wanted to stop by to introduce myself to the Ga Cruiser/Toyota fans. I am getting out the US Marine Corps and will be moving to Newnan, Ga in a few weeks. I have a job lined up at the Atlanta airport as the ground support equipment manager, the position is the same as my job in the USMC. I didn't want to live in the Atlanta metro area and everyone I've talked to said that Newnan was a nice area. My wife and I were in Newnan last weekend to look at houses with our realtor and we are making a offer a house out in the country.
A little about myself, I'm 34 years old and I'm from SC. During my time in the US Marines I've lived in Yuma, Az, Jacksonville, Fl, and Beaufort, SC. I've been on many vacations to sunny, hot, and cold places while working for Uncle Sam. I'm married and we have a 7 year old daughter and 2 dogs/1 cat. I've had a few 4wd's in the past to include a 89 Jeep Wrangler, 91 Ford Ranger (ARB locked), 91 FJ80 (my first 4wd Toyota), 84 Pickup, 89 4Runner, 88 4Runner (current daily driver), and a 91 4Runner (currently not running). I have enjoyed everyone of those vehicles and actual miss all of them besides for the Heep. My current daily driver is the 88 4Runner which I bought not running for $700 and had planned on selling after I cleaned it up and had it running. I decided to keep it as a daily drive to allow me to save money because I wasn't sure how hard it was going to be to find a job after getting out of the USMC. My 91 4Runner is my offroader, it's been wheels up a couple of times and has a good bit of work done to it. Currently the 3.0L V6 is dead and I have almost everything I need to swap a Chevy 4.3 with a 4L60E trans. Yes I know it's a Chevy engine and I should go with a Toyota 3.4L but I got a great deal on the 4.3L.
Other then the Toyota hobby, I have a KTM 450 EXC that's street legal and a Yamaha FZ6 that I use to fight the man on gas prices. We also have kayaks and love to go camping.
I look forward to wheeling with you guys as much as I can. If anyone is from the Newnan area or nearby areas PM me, I want to know if there are any places local to go wheeling.
Here's some pics of my current 4Runner's.
