Sad day today.. at least 4 me.
Looks like the time is up for my 98 4Runner. If you have seen any of my videos, or any photos of my lights here on elb you've seen it. It's my trusty workbench (lol), people, and light hauler.
Rust is doing it in.. doesn't look bad until you get under it.. East Coast winters claim yet another one. *Sigh*
It just developed a slight leak in the Rear Differential.. enough to put drip or 2 on the ground.. with all the rust going after the leak is just not worth it. Better to keep an eye on the Gear oil levels and fill as needed.
It's been a very good ride for me, I have had it since 2005(ish) and it's been up and down the east coast, been on many a lightbar find haul and overall is still running strong.
So it's off to AZ come November to hopefully to delay the decay for a few more years and live out its golden years with the inlaws.
Next up is finding a replacement..
Looking at a 4th Gen 4Runner ideally (2006-2009) It would be great to find a fairly low mileage example.. definitely as free of Rust as you can expect.. East Coast and all.
