car totaled? $$$$ coming soon i hope

haha foreal man. and thank you too! i can't wait to get started with my build.

Get started on your own build thread, document it from the beginning. I just won the Castrol Edge contest with help from documentation.

Matt Farah and Tom Morningstar came by and spent a few hours gathering footage. Matt Farah is known as the host of The Smoking Tire.


While the video will not be done for a few days, I will share some photos.

sweet dude im jealous lol

Thats sick I cant wait to see the vids.

Hey guys, thanks for everything.

I've got the finished video from the editor, ready. Unfortunately, I cannot show it until the video is officially released on CarDomain.com. I will post a YouTube version as soon as it's been released.

Thanks again guys, if it wasn't for this forum, my passion and love for cars would not be the same today.



On another note, I managed to fit two cars in the garage, which has never happened since moving here in 1997.

The video is undergoing a few changes, sorry for the delay.

On another note, since it was cheap and gave me something to do, "bling diff breather"

I started by removing the existing differential breather. I bought a few adapters from my local Home Depot. The adapters consist of Watts A-715 and (2) A-734. I also bought a 50' Amflo recoil air hose.

One adapter screws into the differential breather's original hole (A-715). A brass nipple (A-734) was then fitted to that, where the air hose was then fitted. I cut the hose down to 30' and moved the original brass ending to the new end. I screwed that into another A-734 fitting and replaced my differential breather behind the gas door.

is that Matt Farah from Garage 419 and Smoking Tires?

Yup, sure is.

are you selling your hunk of crap? i need a pick up

the hunk of crap is not for sale

It's my brother's, OH and the front end is missing... hence why it's in the garage. Piece of crap is hogging up all the room!

For those of you who may remember me talking about trading my 4Runner for a new one and giving this one to my mom --

This whole crash safety thing has me thinking. Her model Previa was tested by the NHTSA as having been the least safe vehicle of its year and class. A late 3rd gen Limited or an early 4th gen fits the budget. As of yesterday, she is driving a pretty nice 4th gen, a Silver 2004 Sport Edition V6.









I will be keeping my 4Runner, hopefully to one day swap in ye olde sunroof, 4WD, and who knows, maybe even a manual transmission.

Stay tuned to see what happens, on the chronicles of COB!

Oh, and the truck hit 300 miles in one tank for the first time ever! before and after shots of empty tanks shown below:

Today was a big day for the Toyotas in the family. First off, I sold the remains of our 1995 Previa S/C. At the same time, my 4Runner underwent installation of a new windshield. I later installed two Rain-X Latitude 17" wipers, as well as 3/4" D-ring shackles for my front tow hook D-ring mounts.

The windshield was done by Rufino, owner of RJ Auto Glass. Fantastic work. $135






legokcen's shackle mounts in use. Shackle test fitment, unpainted.




I decided I'd prefer them painted and matching the calipers. Some self etching primer, Krylon Banner Red and gloss clear on the shackles, some Krylon Flat black and flat clear on the screw in portion, came out with this:
