T4R in WNC

[ZRex]

Hey guys! My name is Mike, I run a 95 4Runner that I'll be posting a thread on soon. I'm a mechanic, going back to school for engineering, and have a fabrication shop at dads house (Dad used to build drag cars years ago so I've been trying to get all of the knowledge I can). My gearhead tendencies started when I lived in WA and received my first motorcycle FREE from the town mayor. I've owned somewhere around 100 motorcycles since and that's where I learned most of my mechanical skills. I also am kind of a gun nut and like to build AR's and reload my own ammo!

Cheers,
Mike

Here's my 4Runner the night I picked it up.


And how she sits now! Before and after the new tires.

I'm coming up on a year in mine now, bought it late last year.

I'm very familiar with the 1UZ and 2UZ, haven't had a chance to play with the 3UZ yet. I owned an LS400 for a while and always wanted to put a manual trans in it, I had the Aisin AR5 but didn't want to shell out for the UZ to R154 bell housing and clutch stuff.

Here's my old Lexus. It was very low!

I'll get a build thread going here in a little bit!
