Need some advice. Have about 1500$ extra cash to spend on my '97 4Runner. It's stock, but a solid 9/10 condition. Mechanically sound.
I don't do offroad, often or really at all. I do use it to go snowboarding, kayaking, tow my sailboat up slick ramps, etc. It's great having something reliable, and paid for. I spend most of my time sailing offshore, my version of expedition stuff right now. I will head out west next season for some boarding. Just finished a 7,000 mile/45 day straight sail from Africa to Florida on Tuesday, with two people in total. Headed home tomorrow, and looking forward for a drive in the 'Yota. :smiley_drive:
"Henry"
1997 4runner.
White
215,000mi
2.7litre
5spd
4x4
The tires are swell, clutch is great, suspension components and bushings are relatively new, etc.
No, I won't be sending anyone any money. I know that'll come up. Also, I've put away some in savings, this is just something I've decided I want to do.
Thought about an ARB bumper, or something with a trailer hitch up front for my little sailboat at home.
Rooftop tent?
Scangauge?
Second battery?
I haven't been around to catch up on all the cool new gadgets and things to do with them, so any advice would be great.
My other ride, my job, is a 100'/89 ton performance sailing yacht.
