AssBurns 2000 Limited Build Thread
The BeerRunner build thread. Here is what is going to start as my build thread for my 2000 Limited 4Runner. Nicknamed the BeerRunner. It had 160,000 miles and bone stock with the optional rear E-Locker when I bought it last December. My plan is to just lift, bumpers, sliders, skids, wheels and lights and some other simple things for now. I'll be using this as a daily driver, camping vehicle, fire road cruiser and mild rock crawler.
I will try to keep this thread up to date as I get some big updates, but I will be spending majority of my forum time over at independentoffroading.com you can keep up with the build progress more over there.

Checking out if the sway bars made any difference and it helps flex a little bit both in the front and rear. Leaving the rear off was just too sloppy on the road so I keep the rear on and just disconnect the links and hang them up when I go offroading. I never put the front back on after I removed it. It doesn't make that big of a difference on the roads.
No sway bars
No way bars
Rear sway bar still attached

Finally got new tires. They are 285/75R16 Pro Comp Xtreme MT2's. They barely fit with stock suspension. A little bit of turning or just backing out of the driveway rubbed the shit out of the pinch weld but an angle grinder and a BFH solved that. Had to cut the pinch weld and the wheel well a bit then hammer the shit out of everything else. Now the only thing that rubs is the frame at full lock or when the suspension is fully flexed offroading but very minimal. Plan on lifting and cutting some more soon but I've been lazy.
Also got the rear coils off an FJ80 for $40 so there is a start to my lift. Planning on Bilstein 5100's for a Tundra, Toytec/Eibach Front Coils and no body lift.

Looks good! Just be careful with your bigger tires and disconnected rear sway bar. If you flex too much you could ruin your body or maybe bottom out your shock haha.

I'm still waiting on the second 90 degree adapter and a SWR Meter to come in so I can get it tuned and finished.
I plan on building some rock sliders this weekend. I will try to take some pictures and post them when they are done. (if they get done)

Thanks SRQ-Runner! I tried to make it match the lines the best I could so it took a while to get it lined up perfectly

Rock Sliders are done being welded and have the first few coats of paint on them. I'm hoping to get them welding on the truck tomorrow morning. Also just got my SWR meter today and went to tune my CB and it was way over 3:1. I'm pretty sure it's my ground but I'll check that out tomorrow morning. While I was out I got a couple flex shots

I vote LineX or Rhino liner myself. Even Herculiner if you feel like saving a dime, it will all need touch up. I love your runner

Finally got my sliders all finished up and mounted. I was a little worried about the sliders flexing with the vehicle weight on them so, I decided to use a hi-lift and jack it up by the sliders. I didn't notice any flex in the sliders with all that weight.
Also got my CB radio tuned. I had a bad ground because I painted my antenna mount and there was no metal on metal contact. I just cleaned up the holes for the bolts and the antenna. I got it down the about 1.3:1 and it seems like it picks up everything
