I've been a long time reader but never wrote much about my rig. Known to my friends as the MTN CRZR or rambo My Toyota obsession began when I first got my license and was looking for a car. My mom found a nice 2000 4Runner for sale with low milage. I bough it soon after and wheeled it some, after finding the the toyota forums online I knew i wanted to mod it. I made a rear bumper and sliders for it wheeled the **** out of it. I quickly realized i wanted another rig. My dad always wanted a 40 series and with a little convincing he agreed. We stumbled upon a one in Charlotsvile and snatched it up. While fixing it up i stubbled upon IH8mud and was hooked since. One day I say a picture of a built 80 series, saw they had lockers and knew thats what i wanted.
After months of searching CL and ebay i found my curent rig. It was a a New Jersey truck that a man inherited after his brother, the owner of it passed away from a heart attack. ANd he was the only owner. I was stoked to see it had the diff locks and the best part is it only had 94K miles! The CL add was asking 9000 but after telling the guy i was paying for it and showing hime the tires were bald he knocked the pirice down to 7500. I drove it the 300 miles home with a mile long grin. It drove and ran like a dream. I was so excited to have an 80 and quickly thought about the mods i wanted to do. Btw im a sophmore at Virginia Tech I love having a vehicle chicks love, one that gets me where i love to be and always get me back home again.
Heres the mods ive done to her so far:
