Sorry, I got busy with other things. She wanted $7K for it, if anyone is interested, I can see if she's still selling it. I just got way too busy to have another vehicle.

So, I've always wanted an FJ and I found one locally in my price range. It has 325K miles though, and it's a 2008. Original owner, full synthetic oil since 10K miles, scheduled maintenance always done on time, etc. The lady selling it is an older lady, she works in las vegas and lives in...

:wings: I saw that Surf and was going to post it. I've been addicted to looking at bringatrailer and Japaneseclassics. My wife might be getting tired of me shoving my iPad in her face and saying "honey, check this one out!".

No IFS swap planned? :sombrero: I wanted a 1st gen 4runner so bad when I was 16... Ended up getting a truck and still to this day, have wanted a 1st gen 4runner.

A solid axle conversion would be overkill for just a torn CV boot. But do it anyway. :elkgrin:

x2, that's exactly what I was thinking.

I had heard about various issues with the 6MT, the only bad thing I had really heard about the auto was it as boring to drive. I never in 1 million years thought I would own a vehicle with an automatic transmission. However, from my research, I came to the conclusion that the auto was better...

In a nutshell, "we" don't feel good at all about it. Even if you could talk them down to $5K, you could buy a really nice 1st gen or 3rd gen 4runner. 2nd gen 4runners are the least desirable IMO, and they don't hold their value as well.

Were you in St. George, UT about 6 months ago? I think I saw this truck in the Smith's parking lot.

I just bought a DieHard Platinum Group 65 Battery for 168.93 after tax and coupons. They are on sale, regular price $230, on sale for $184, then coupon code "PAYPAL25" brings it down to $159. The marine batteries are not on sale, but you could still use the coupon code and save $25 off of a...

255/85r16's on stock suspension, no lift. No rubbing whatsoever, I just took the front mudflaps off. The tires are Maxxis Bighorns. They come with holes for studs. They're cheap, I got them for $175/ea shipped to my door.

That mirror riser was the first thing I bought for my '06... It's certainly worth every penny, I hated not being able to see anything on the right side at all. Visibility is vastly improved.
