Welcome to Nevadafornia
wmflyfisher, nice truck. I see you've got WY plates. County 11, is that Lusk?
Did you just move to Athens?
I used to live in Kemmerer (Lincoln county) and then Augusta Ga.
Heres mine. More or less stock for now.
If you look closely you can see WY cowboy :26_7_2:

Sure man! As soon as I get a chance I will. Gotta run to work right now.
Max, No I've never lived in WY but I've been there a few times. I wish I lived there. Very cool to say the least!

I've been reading on here for a while now and figured it may be time to introduce myself and become a contributing member to the board. There are a lot of great people and knowledge here and I look forward to enjoying it more now!
The wife and I drive a 2001 Taco Ex-Cab, and we LOVE it!
The engine is stock except for the deck plate. I left that so I can later add a snorkel. Tranny is an auto and also stock. From there I've added a marlin Crawler (taco Supreme, 4.7:1) crawler attached to the the Stock T-case, and clocked 20deg. Front and rear axle's are stock but have been regeared to 4.56's. Tire's and wheels are Black steelies wrapped in 33x12.50 Bighorn tires.
Front suspension consists of DR coil overs and Camburg upper arms. The rear is comprised of a deaver 8 pack and 5150 shocks. I've also replaced the shackles and main Eye bolt in the rear, with greaseable units from OME, and topped the entire truck off with with a 1" Roger Brown Body Lift.
ARB takes care of the protection for the front, then the sliders, rear bumper, and skids were all custom built by myself.
Some other things on the truck are
Mile Marker 9000# winch with syn line,
KC 8inch HID lights,
OBA via Puma compressor,
Tool box full of stuff,
5 gal water and gas storage,
CB and 2meter communications,
and my favorite mod!--- the Dixie horn! Totally un needed but fun all the same!
Sorry for the poser shots, but this thing is ever evolving and these are the most current pics I have.
We love to camp, explore and wheel, so I think this is a good home for us. We've been to Moab, Rubicon, Calico, Big Bear, and a bunch of other places, so we hope to meet some of you guys soon, and see you out on the trail!

What kind of bumper is that? I am looking for something like that for my Taco. It isn't as BULKY the ARB. I bought an '02 Tacoma 2 weeks ago and your truck gave me my first bit of buyers remorse. I love the my truck, but that is a great setp up on your 4Runner.:26_7_2: .

edit:spelling and to say no offence meant to ARB owners, it's just not my favorite.

My name's Matt. I'm 25 years old and live in Worcester, MA. I work as print production coordinator on the catalogs for a large Massachusetts based corporation. I've been in and out of the four wheeling hobby for the past 8 years or so. I've always wanted an expedition style rig and found a base-rig that I liked back in November.It's an '86 Toyota 4Runner SR5, Black, with 237,000 and change on the chasis. Its originally a Colorado truck and has no frame issues whatsoever. There's still even some paint on there. The body is solid, though it was dragged across some rocks by the PO, so it doesn't look too pretty. I'm going to clean up the surface rust, etc come spring time. Here's a list of the specs...
- 5 speed manual
- Engine is a 22R short block, 22RE top end
- Marlin Crawler dual transfer case setup on Budbuilt cross member
- Lock Rite in rear axle, rear disc brake conversion
- Alcan rear springs, after market shackles and Rancho shocks
- 33x10.5x15 Swamper TSL radials
- 2" body lift, gas tank lifted
- Custom bumpers and rock sliders with winch receiver mounts front and rear
- 8000# Warn winch with winch rope, modular plugs front and rear
- PIAA driving lights front and rear
- Allpro Offroad t-case mounted e-brake
- Interior stripped and Herculined
- Yakima Load Warrior roof rack with center extension
I need to do some things to get her running right again. I just installed a new alternator and battery. The rear axles seals leak as do both of the pinions. I have a small coolant leak that I need to figure out and the grounds seem to need to be cleaned up as my winch plugs/switch are being difficult. Hopefully I can get this all resolved sooner than later. I need new synthetic winch rope as the stuff thats on the winch at the moment is worn a bit more than I am comfortable with (I had it snap on me last time I used). I plan on cleaning the truck up a bit and making additions that will push it more towards an expedition type vehicle (storage, appropriate supplies, radios, etc). I'd like to get the truck up on 35" tires at some point and in a perfect world I'd swap in a solid front axle, but that's not in the cards financially at the moment. I am about to start fabricating some half doors with soft uppers that I'll be able to run during the warmer months. I'll try to post those up as I make them.
It looks like you folks have a great site here and I look forward to looking around and absorbing all the info and experiences that you're sharing.
Here are a few pics. Nothing from on the trails yet...
