TastyRunner's Long Overdue Build Thread
Well, i am finally figuring this build thread thing out so here she goes.
My 4runner started out as a stock 2001 sr5 from Wisconsin. Since then I have moved to Arizona, and done a couple things to it.

She set for 6 or so months wrecked, then I was able to get my settlement money and fix her. I replaced the left side trailing arm, axle housing, wheel, and axle I had to get ol Burt dirty.

Looks like it fared pretty well considering. Nice looking truck too. Are those fender flares stock? I don't recall ever seeing that style with the groove in them.

you know, since then I have taken them off, but I have no idea who makes them and I looked and looked on the interwebs and couldn't find a single thing. I ripped them off since I couldn't find a replacement, and it bugged the heck outta me not have 4 flares! lol...
I have some picture to upload still, but this is all I could get done in a night.
Thanks for the kind words!

And this is the after lift pics
I have a lot of rake, but it does not bother me. I figure I am going to always be hauling something so no reason to complain!
Keep in mind this is my poor man's lift, so you can criticize all you wish!

Good to see someone using a "budget minded build" and wheeling with it (assuming you did just throw that mud on) What are you generally going to be towing? I have often wondered if I could tow a suzuki samurai with my 4runner

thanks man. Basically I am poor and found these parts for cheap, and they happened to work out very well.
I will be towing 2 motorcycles on and aluminum trailer, and whatever else I can haul on the 6x8 trailer. haha!
