Thanks for the warm welcome fellas!

I've owned Toyota's all my life. My first rig at age 15 was a 1986 Toyota Pickup with a 3 inch lift on 33s. I gained interest in vehicles by rebuilding the 22RE with my dad and brothers. After that I had a 93 4runner with the 3.slow..never again. She was clean though. I've also had a 05 is300 with the 2JZGE, that was a fun car. Then I picked up an 06 4runner, started getting more into overlanding. My brother got a 93 80 series and I was instantly convinced I needed one. I picked up this LX in Bend Oregon. Carfax shows that it was originally purchased in Sedona, so now it's back in its rightful home! It came with some mods but I've basically gone through and gutted the old mods and done my own. Always nice to make sure all the pm work is done right! It sits currently right at 211k. I've also owned a 2014 Tundra (really nice, sad to see that one go) and currently use a 2012 Tacoma as my daily driver. I live in North Phoenix.

I'm originally from Washougal, WA. Went to undergrad in Montana, then grad school at ASU, went back to WA for work for a few years but got sick of the rain and returned to AZ. I'm currently an electrical engineer for Central Arizona Project (CAP).

How she currently sits (paint looks much nicer in photos haha, trust me it's full of pinstriping, some clear coat fade, and other cosmetic scratches):
