MillerPKA's Build Thread
Here's a quick overview of what's been going on with the truck the last few months, nothing too serious but its about to get exciting, 2 newest additions went on today! I'll use this to update what happens from here on out
Roor Runner's 97 SR5 - YotaTech Forums
Short recap from the last 6 months.
Started with graphite 2 tone with current setup minus a few things.
August - Changed graphite 2 tone to army tan, borrowed the hood for the picture haha. Added Wet Okoles for the front seats and got taillights from an 02.
October - Added Gobi ladder
December - Back to black
January - Gobi Stealth Rack
Decals removed and windows spot free
Today - Began suspension and framework treatment with the front and ifs. We will finish all the frame, wheel wells and rear axle this weekend.
I got the Bushwackers and sport hood on a couple hours ago about to go out and break down the clear coat and build her back up.
I left the rear bumper caps off do you think I should put them on? I'll get some comparisons in a little bit. Also thinking about blacking out the silver grille inside the scoop, let me know what you think.

I always confused you and Roor- you are one in the same?
Looks good with the Bushwackers.

Found the right paint to be able to coat the underside and help treat and prevent rust at the same time, so ifs components frame wheel wells and rear axle will get attention

Your rig looks sweet! I like the all black. The tan and grey were cool but all black just looks tits. I say keep the caps and paint the scoop inner black. In the second to last pic it looks black already. (Maybe I missed that you already painted it) Oh yeah, love the rack, is it noisy and will it allow a sunroof to open?

Haven't painted it yet, deciding on the color. Took the badges off the rear and gave them a coat of some Duplicolor Graphite I had left over. I was thinking of doing the scoop inside this color but my roommate thinks just black

Very nice 4Runner and I am really liking those LC wheels.
I have a question, did you have to use wheel spacers with the LC wheels and 315/75's?

Man your truck is a beast. Are your bumpers coated with a Rhino liner type paint? One of the best beast looking runners i have ever seen.

Its Herculiner, DIY liner found at most auto stores. The texture is inconsistent as it was one of the first mods I attemped almost 4 years ago. But even still with a good semi annual paint job she's held up to some good abuse.

Man that coating on the frame is really neat looking...when are you gonna be back up in the Atlanta area so I can steal your rims? Just kidding, so I can politely ask for your rims and you hand them over?
