Toyota amongst Jeeps
Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2016 8:19 pm
Hey guys! I was lucky enough to meet some of your members today while hosting a Laser Tag party. The group seemed really cool, and since I am relatively new to the area and love to wheel I thought I would join. Just a bit about me, I am a automotive assistant instructor and have spent most of my professional career either working on cars or guiding teams of technicians to work on them. I have a about 10 years automotive experience now. I do wheel a 1994 Toyota 4runner that has been heavily modified (and is still being worked on) It was an auto 2wd. I have built it now to where it is a solid axle front with about moderate 6" lift. My gears are 4:56 and the rear is a factory Toyota elocker. All if the axles are factory Toyota drummed up from various rigs. My drive train used to be the Toyota 3.4l engine with a 5 speed manual trans, but I have since sold that in favor of doing a Lexus (also Toyota) 4.0l 1UZ engine that will produce better power and roughly the same fuel economy. She still needs some work but I am hoping to get it mostly finished this summer and get out wheelin with ya'll.
I also am starting a automotive blog (its in the works so i dont have the name pinned down yet) but it will be great once it is done. Looking forward to meeting everyone and weigh in on some topics as well. Im great with diag and trouble shooting as well so I will do what I can for a fellow wheeler. Anyway thanks for the add!
