    For the past ten years, I have been casually searching for a 1st Generation 4Runner like the one I had back in college. This last month I found one here in NC and I look forward to restoring it to its former glory. My "new" 1988 SR5 V6 has 216K miles and is in good condition. I plan on fixing a few things before painting it the spring. I look forward to being a part of the group to view pictures and find parts when needed.
