Well it looks like i'm the new guy on the forum all over again. My "Baby" is an 01' Toyota 4runner SR5 Sport and i've decided to redo the suspension on it. Because i'm not rolling in money I figure if I do the work myself maybe I can save some money in the long run. I've always worked on my own vehicle (when time permitted) as it allows me to deflate the brain a bit after a long day(s) in the office, however to do a project like this requires having access to more than vehicle as its not something I have the time to do in a single night. Which finally brings me to my new ride (and this forum)...
She's a 98' GMC C1500, SL, 2 wheel drive, extended cab, 5.0L V8. Its an automatic with tow package. Got 205k miles on her, but she runs and handles pretty nice (minus a few "bugs" i'm working on). According to the guy I bought it from it was his grandfathers truck and he's just getting to old to drive. I guess he's run into a few things with it around the house which have a few dents and dings, but this just adds character to it right
The reason for the high mileage is because he used it to pull a camper back and forth from Delaware to Florida and of course supposedly he constanly had it maintained, etc... I believe the PO was the 2nd owner, but it only had approx 6k miles on it when he bought it locally here in DE. As part of the deal to purchase he supposedly made the salesman swap out the standard rims on it with a set off of a 454SS. So although its got Bowtie center-caps, can you go wrong with spinners 
Obviously i'm on a bit of overload at the moment just trying to gather info and wrap my head around all the mods and what do I want to do, and when...Ugh, this is just supposed to be a beater truck so I can work on my T4R and still get to work in the morning, but I got a feeling its gonna be another endless project Oh well, thats why we buy them.
