It’s pretty clean

Nearly a 10 year thread resurrection- is that a record? LOL Sadly, the time has come and I will be letting go of her soon. I had completely forgot about this post from nearly 10 years ago. I found it because Pinterest pinged back here after googling TLT 4runner. I haven’t been on here since...

nothing?:(

Hello, I'm looking to update my 96's headlights to the 99-02. If you have a pair for sale, let me know. Thanks!! Trevor

I agree, and will be doing so. I just picked up some 02 tails to throw on too. :)

I used the same stuff as I did with the wheels - I think it's pretty new - comes in a nifty can that you can spray at all sorts of angles. Rustoleum Universal. It's a little spendy at $8.00 a can. Then after a few thin coats of that, some Rustoleum "Wheel" clearcoat - it seems extremely durable...

Nope - they sure look/feel like it though. :) I took a wire wheel (air-diegrinder) to them, then did the Rustoleum semi-flat universal - and a special "wheel" clearcoat paint. Oh - the bumps are Jounce (Icon). They are spendy, and I would have never paid the cost for them if I was building the...

Here is some updated pics with wheels/grill painted. Before: After:

Thanks! I always liked the red too. not very many of them is there? Actually - come to think of it - I've never seen a "red-red" one in my area that wasn't a 2nd gen. My wife was kinda on the fence because it stands out like a sore thumb - but that's okay I guess. :) I always wanted a Red...

Yea - It's actually a Taco bumper that was modified to fit the runner. And NO - I won't be swapping it out for an ARB bumper - I was talking about a ARB front locker. :) I love the bumper. It even has a bottom skid/support tube to protect the radiator :thumb3: And yea - that's why I flew down...

LOL....well, I'm going to try and talk the wife into a ARB for the front! :) I'm going to be attempting to rebuild the solenoids on a crappy Smittybuilt winch to throw on the front. I'm going to do a number with some black paint too. I'll post pics. :) Oh, and also try to plumb the sliders to...

LOL!! I HATE buying something already done.....but since it's the wife's - she wouldn't have paid for ANY thing additional to add to the thing. Especially gears/ARB/bumpers ect. I added up the cost of a 99 runner I was going to buy locally ($9K and not even close to as clean) - it would have...

New to the board - long time member of TTORA/Pirate/Ect.....I can't find a 3rd Gen runner offroad forum though? Is this the closest? anyway - I'm out of Portland, OR area - I just flew down to California to pick-up TLT's runner....paid 8K for a 96 w/ 200K on it...LOL.....It's worth it...

I'm guessing he's thinking of the center diff lock. 1st post on here - I just picked up a 96 4runner with 200K on it...for only 8K!! LOL!!!
