Build Thread

Hey everyone, here is my build thread. Before and afters and updates on my truck
It's a white sport 2004 4wd v8

I got it for $15,000, it already had a little bit of a lift and a tad bit bigger tires than stock. I got it a few weeks ago with 80,000 miles on it and owned my a toyota/lexus mechanic. He also threw in a water pump, spark plugs, timing belt, and some other goodies.

Check it out, let me know what you think. Any advice or thought would be great, leaving a comment only takes a second and I'd love to hear

What I spent a huge amount of yesterday doing, the emblems up front. Which I still am not 100% on.. And the roof rack which for now is temporary with plasti-dip but am wondering if I like it well enough to go with permanent spray paint.

Very nice!

And I vote to keep the rack black. You might find that the plasti dip may last longer than you think too. But if it starts wearing off or peeling, then paint it black for sure.

The plasti dip is peeling a little around the bottom of the rack so painting that will be a plan for the next week if everything works out. I'm going to be camping this summer and I know something will be up there and plasti dip will peel off if rubbed hard enough..

I'm in Newport, any of you guys know someplace to go off the main path around here?

Nice ride, but you're a little ADD. You're going black with the wheels, black with the back surround, white grill and surround, then silver on the rails. Looks okay, but I like to stick with a theme and roll with it. I think I'd take the rails back to black, but we all know what opinions are like, right? Do what you like man, welcome to the club, nice Runner!

Clean truck, love the rims and roof rack blacked out. Also love the badgeless look
