I know that the 3rd gen is usually the more desireable/popular trucks, but as I've been going through some 4th gen builds, I've been warming up to them. Especially the V8 (despite the timing belt issue). It's the kind of truck I could really see myself having for an extended period of time: it...

So you too have a thing for Volvos. I've got a '90 760 turbo. It's likely the biggest pile I've ever owned. Also possibly my favorite.

Yeah I'm going to try to do as many front end parts as I have time for before I drive down to NC at the end of the month. The front tires are cracked pretty badly. I'm going to replace them.

So I've been trolling craigslist for a while now, and this week I came across this little beaut. 1997 Limited with e-locker (seems to work) and a solid frame and 186,000 miles. Runs well, looks decent apart from the rear bumper (guess I'll be making a bumper for it) which has rusted out. Seems...

Sweet rig. Since you've had it for a while, how would you rate the 4runner experience on a scale of 1-10? Seems like you've had a good experience.

I must have missed it on the first page, but I got all the way to page 3 thinking it was 4wd. It was like getting to third base before finding out she's a dude. Just kidding. Super clean truck buddy. Keep it up.

I was looking around at tire inflators the other day, when I found this: https://www.amazon.com/Slime-40026-Heavy-Direct-Inflator/dp/B005Z8HAUK It's a 12v 2cylinder air compressor. I was thinking about hardwiring it and using it to fill a compressed air tank. Obviously, it won't be the same...

Will do! I'm also an ASE certified mechanic, so if you need a hand with any stuff for your vehicles I can help if time allows. I may also be able to get you a discount on parts.

Read through your build. It's awesome, but we NEED MOAR PICTURES OF LONG TRAVEL!!!:rockthrow:

Sweet rig man. Pretty similar to what I plan on doing.

Would you (can you?) use a different spring if you did it over?

Went through the thread. Not a thing I would do differently. In case you were lacking motivation, let me just say: bumper gap. Side note: what's the green sticker on your back window?

Do you still have the billies on the first perch? I think I saw that you were planning on bumping them up, but then I saw that you are running a spacer. Curious because I am planning on running LC coils in the rear and TRD Tundra Struts up front. Truck looks great by the way. Jealous of the...

I've hit mine and I don't even have a runner. College lyfe yo.

What area are you in? I am in Central Illinois, close to Peoria.
