Better Late than Never, eh?
« on: Mar 16, 2006, 04:02:51 PM »
Hello all, my name is Jeremiah and i have owned way too many vehicles in my life, many of which were toyota 4x's.  That aside, i already have 190 posts to my name prior to this one, but i think it is important to do things the right way at some point.  I really like the forum and everyone that i have met in my 190 posts so far.  After watching the NooB video i promise to add a little more than stuff for sale from now on.  My toyota life started when i was a wee tyke of 6 years old.  My dad purchased a 1 year old '82 Toyota 4x4.  We had it for ten years and it was to be mine on my 16th birthday.  Well, insurance ruined those plans for me and my dad had to sell what i consider the most prestine (and usable) yota ever.  Sucked for me.  Then to top it off, the guy bought it for his son who rolled it 3 months later.  Oh well, thats when my dad thought it was a good idea for me to buy a VW Bug.  Sucked for me, but then i got into restoring them and when all was said and done it was a cool (and costly) experience for us both.  Fast forward 7 VW's, 3 Chevy's, 2 Volvo's, A Saturn, A Nissan PU, A Datsun PU, 1 Ford, and 5 Toyotas to what i have now.

1 '05 Toyota Sienna (Grocery Wheeler)
1 '88 4Runner V6 Auto

History aside... I have been married for 7 years to my awesome wife and have 4 children 7, 6, 2, 10mos.

The 4Runner should be my last vehicle for a while and will be built to talke the family (yes all 6 and the dog) to many fishing spots and camping areas around the sierras outside of Fresno.

Now, are there any questions?  (i will be starting a build post on the 4Runner soon)

Thanks for a great fourm and to all of you i have met here.
