so I am putting my build thread on hold because I just suffered a major setback. Engine missing in CYL #3, coolant in chamber. Looks like either head gasket or head issues. I will find out more on Monday. It does look hopeful though, the engine never got hot and I only drove it 30 miles since it started missing.
I started a thread on my head issues. If you have any advice please drop me a line. Thanks

When I last left off, my build thread had not caught up to present yet. I have a lot to post.
Well at present time I have 199k on 4Runner. Until this latest issue everything ran great no warning signs.
[CLOSED ISSUE, WILL BE ADDRESSED LATER IN THREAD ]

New headlights & corners
*************************
New Headlights
**************************
So I bought new headlight housings off of EBAY. The install was a lot easier than I thought it would be.
Lighting verdict:
* THESE LIGHTS LOOK GOOD BUT THE OUTPUT SUCKS!
* I RECOMMEND YOU JUST SWAP THE GLASS AND NOTHING ELSE!
I bought the headlights from EBAY for $77 and the corners were $30 each.
These are glass not plastic
1999-2002 TOYOTA 4RUNNER GLASS HEAD LIGHT LAMP RL NEW | eBay
* OLD GRILL AND LIGHTS
* I added some silicone sealant - just feeling extra cautious
thanks for all the comments!

Looks great. What did the verdict on your head / cylinder issue be? ( so busy working haven't had a chance to read all the posts)

Wow nice job on the 4runner. Those flares look awesome. I want to do that to mine, but it's a lot of cash. Are the stock flares dark grey or black on the black limiteds?

I believe they are all dark grey. Mine was stock and you can see the peeling gray in the comparison shots.
The cost of painting the fenders was higher than I originally intended but it took extra labor and clips to get them on "right"

Looks like you got a lot accomplished, and having those gray flares painted really brought back life to the truck in general, not to mention the headlights.
Looks great!
