Photo Timeline of my 4Runner {LOTS OF PICS} - Toyota

LINY4Runner · 08-09-2009, 01:14 PM

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...

August 15, 2007: 100,000 miles!

Christmas Eve, 2007: Added the Coleman Safari Rack, clear turn signals and tint-matched the front windows a few weeks prior

January, 2008: I installed a 12,000K HID plug'n'play kit from vvme.com:

February 29, 2008: Me and my buddy Dave (Nissan Frontier, stock w/31x10.50 BFG A/T) went mudding...serious mudding...

LINY4Runner · 08-09-2009, 01:16 PM

and the next morning...

Fast forward to November 2008, I got a new camera and a snow day so I decided to do a shoot...

LINY4Runner · 08-09-2009, 01:17 PM

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...

LINY4Runner · 08-09-2009, 01:17 PM

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...

looks GREAT!!!

Very nice!...those rims and tires are killing me...they sweet. That little red that you put on them really makes it stand out. I just can't wait until I get my new set of rims.Just can't wait.

Cool Thread!! Very nice 4Runner!!

kellogg · 08-09-2009, 06:13 PM

Its awesome to see how you've transformed your runner, nicely done.

juiceboxer · 08-09-2009, 07:18 PM

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

LINY4Runner · 08-10-2009, 12:01 AM

thanks for all the props guys...it's almost comical to see how my truck started out...and what it ended up as...what am i saying 'ended'?? i got land cruiser springs on the way! and a 231mm brake upgrade! and ome front suspension! and...well, you get the point...i don't think the modding will ever end

spongerx · 08-10-2009, 12:18 AM
