Well I'm sitting in an awful 3 hour lecture, so lets try and fill in what I can.
My dad purchased this 4Runner in April of 1996, and just a short time later, I was born (July 1996). He grew up 45 minutes from Denver, was use to going up the passes etc. Growing up in Southern California, we would head into Anza Borrego on occasion and the road trips to visit family in Colorado. Point being, I remember growing up in the ventless backseat of this truck haha. My mom daily drove it for some time, and then it kind of sat as my dad's truck to take to Home Depot, or go hunting in. Slowly got more and more neglected until I started realizing that it would become mine when I was 14 or so.

Joined T4R.org and what use to be SoCalFJ's, and went on my first real wheeling trip. Pancake Rock. Open diff, 31's, and sway bars. Beast

Decided it was ugly, and needed some paint

So it looked like this for a while. Got a Yukon Grizzly ZIP locker installed and wheeled it for a while.
