Talking Photo Timeline of my 4Runner {LOTS OF PICS}

So, August 1st was the three year annaversary of owning my truck and I was looking at old pics of her, and she's really come a long way...so I have decided to post a picture timeline of the last 3 years.

Meet "Summer"...
The first day I brought her home...{August 01, 2006}











however, she didn't stay stock long...I got the brush guard from my then-girlfriend, the KC lights from my friend Mike and the bike rack from my parents for my birthday in September, and added the 31x10.50R15 BFG MudTerrains to the stock wheels, which I painted semi gloss black in early October, 2006







Fast forward to February, 2007. I added a 2.5" coil spacer lift that I bought on eBay for $105. I know, I couldn't resist...

In February 2009 I spent my entire tax return on my new BFG MudTerrain KM2 in 285/70R17 and finished painting my 06 Sequoia wheels...This was the start of my 'Mod Spree'















In March, I finally brought in my Jaos Spoiler (that I got for christmas) to the body shop to get painted...

and later on in March, 2009, I removed my running boards (after much deliberation)







and then that night I started on my Mesh Grille...







Tax Day, while everyone was scrambling to get their taxes in order (I had already filed, recieved and spent mine in Feb) I was in my driveway installing a 2" Body Lift from 4Crawler. Unfortunately I had to lose the Grille Guard with the body lift, but my girl's dad owns a machine shop so we're working on fabbing it up to fit:





Now it's August and I haven't done much new to my rig, but I did take a photo shoot yesterday with my girl and her Canon Rebel, so I'll post those up when I get them from her...

It's great to see what your truck has gone through, love the pictures and everything you have done to the truck. One thing I noticed was that in the "mudding" pics there is so much mud on the headlights the 12,000k HIDs look like 3,000K. One mod I would suggest is to put an HID kit in those KC's, once you get the grille guard back on of course
