me too, i keep telling myself if i ever get a truck//SUV its going to be a 4Runner and nothing else. what year is yours? 05? v6 or 8? if youve got the 8, the 3uz is a beast of an engine and im officially jealous. if im not mistaken i think they put VVT-i on em too. bet she sounds gorgeous.

2003 Sport Edition 4.0L V6 VVT-i

Gets 3-4 times better MPG than the V8 and only has 10 less HP, just 100 ft/lbs less torque which I don't need because I don't tow anything

Yeah my buddy has the 5.9 durango, it's as much if not more of a garage queen than my CL. Boy you have no idea how happy I was to have the v6 when 93 was $4.50 a gallon, let's hope we never have that again

Used to have a 92 Cavalier. Don't have a photo of it but it was in decent condition for its age, and in its 16 years of being in the family, it has not died. not ONCE.

Nice Jeep Corolla Killer, what lift and tires were you runnin? I had a 98 5 speed with a 3.5" ProComp lift and 31x10.50s. Ahh lots of good times with the Jeep, that thing could go almost anywhere, they're so capable even with a small lift.







I've also owned an 87 Dodge Daytona turbo, 89 Dodge Daytona Shelby which was a rare factory turbo intercooled car with 175 horse stock, but I had the turbo turned up to 16 psi and other mods... that was my high school car. Let's see, I've had a 93 geo metro, 93 civic

95 accord

^Umm, pics of the Daytona.

Ugh, I gotta find pics of the ol Sienna.. That was my beater for a little while.

Thanks dude, its nice to have a fellow jeeper around here. I got a 4 and 1/2 inch rubicon express lift with 2" spacers, 33x12.50 bfg mud terrains, warn 9000 winch (I have a cable on it now) with a custom front bumper, rhinolined interior, and a bunch of other stuff. Oh I forgot about front and rear lockers too. Stock gears though... I'm pretty much done with it. Next upgrade would be gears, axles and bigger tires but thats not gonna happen for a while.
