Hey everyone one of the newest members of Marlin Crawlers online forum Let me introduce myself I am Dark Chaos I am a Toyota enthusiast You can thank my girlfriend and her family for introducing me to Toyota. I will admit I wanted a Jeep Wrangler in the worst way. My girlfriend said before you buy a Jeep go test drive a Toyota better yet drive my 4Runner I feel in love with her 4 Runner it had 206,589 and it was so smooth I was doing 90 and not even realizing it. Then she took me off road the 4runner was locked but everything else was stock you should see this thing go. I am on my second Toyota My first Toyota I ever owned was a sweet 1984 SR5 ext cab pick up this thing never let me down or got stuck it had a stock drive train with only a 3” rough country lift and bald 31” BFG AT , Unfortunately mother nature took her away from me. The person who owned it before me wheeled it and did not take care of her she rusted like all Toyotas by the gas tank. One fateful day inspection time rolled around. When I took her to the garage the mechanics first stop was you guessed it the frame buy the gas tank failed on the spot.

No welder would touch her and those who would wanted $1,000 and said you were never here and I did not know who you are. So
I traded her in
