I'm wrenching on a 1997 4runner. My parts pile right now consists of: full timing belt overhaul (all belts, pulleys, water pump, front cam seals and main seal, t-stat, etc), front lower balljoints, CV axle, inner and outer tie rod end (original ones are so rusted they can't be adjusted anymore).

I'm also half-way considering forgoing all that front suspension work and putting an old top-shift t-case in and an FJ80 axle under the front end instead. I would need to buy a 2nd car to drive during the operation though, so I'm a little iffy. My buddy is also semi-permanently borrowing my welder since he's working on a DIY airel atom doohicky (using the guts of my old civic).

Also just got the garage hooked up with air tools (finally!) I've had a busted old compressor since I bought the house and it took me 3 years to get around to getting it up and running.
