Hey folks, I just bought a 2002 XE 4x4 manual with 64,000 miles on it and brought it home Monday. It's in pretty good shape except for some surface rust underneath, a patch of paint missing on the roof with some surface rust and some paint loss around the edges of doors, etc... The plastic bumpers and fascia need some refreshing or painting also. I'm planning on changing out every fluid and doing the whole 60k mile maintenance schedule. It needs tires but I haven't yet convinced myself that it'll fit 265/75/16 on it stock - I still need to sort through all the tire threads on this and other boards. I want to do the 2" BL and 1.5" PML eventually but am not ready yet. I'd like to just get some A/T tires on there, put on an idler arm brace and focus on catching up on the maintenance schedule and rust remediation for now. I have owned a few other wheeling rigs including a 90 Hardbody that I cranked the torsion bars on to fit 32's and did other mods but that's long gone. (I also had a hillbilly lifted 85 4Runner and a 1969 Nissan Patrol.) Anyway, I appreciate all the info I've gleaned from this forum.
