New member here from Paso Robles, CA
« on: May 05, 2015, 11:17:53 AM »
Hi all,
 I finally got a near mint shape 1987 4runner that I have been wanting since riding around in my dads 1981 SR5 4wd long bed as a young boy thinking it was the greatest truck ever! YES IT STILL runs even though he only starts it every other year or so...Anyway I just turned 30 and bought myself a nice birthday present and not quite sure what direction I'm going to take the 4runner yet... I had a Jeep Rubicon for a number of years and know it is gone, as I have always been a Toyota boy at heart. I know at a minimum Id like to get a 4.7 gear set and some sliders to get me going. I'm in the central coast area of CA, Paso Robles to be exact. I see some nice yotas around here so who else is out there in this area. Long time follower first time poster1 Thanks guys and I will get some pics up soon!
1987 4runner SR5, nearly all original, 31x10.5's, Softopper top; more to come...

Makes since as that is the best year for Toyota trucks bar none for sure without a doubt non-debatable case closed everyone agrees.

I will get some pics up soon!
Looking forward to it!
