    . . . I finally got it!!

    Hi, everyone. I just brought home a '97 T4R SR5 manual 4WD. Its an EXTREMELY clean, unmolested example.

    It spent its entire 211,000 mile life in California. Now, my son and I are going to put another 200,000 miles on it here in Michigan.

    I was 27 when this truck came to market. It finally hit my price-point.;)

    Many happy miles, everyone.

    Matt

    Thanks for the warm welcome!!

    Here’s my “fresh clock” punch list:

    1. Ignition wires/coil packs/plugs
    2. Fuel filter
    3. Trans fluid
    4. Pwr steering fluid
    5. Front/Rear diff fluid
    6. Brakes / fluid
    7. Oil & filter
    8. Intake & Cabin air filter

    And here’s my “triage” list:

    1. Replace Clutch slave
    2. Replace Clutch shift interlock switch
    3. Replace antenna mast
    4. Replace audio head

    I’ll ask my questions in the appropriate forums, but any additional input/recommendations here are GREATLY appreciated, everyone!!

    Thanks!!

    Matt
