Haha thanks for pointing that out, it was a long day. I spent about an hour searching through the forum and only found a few pictures, anyone have links to those threads?

Nothing good came up**

Aw shit, I didn’t mean to be one of those guys. I went through a few pages of google and nothing came up, should have searched site:t4r.org My bad.

Title says it all, I’ve reached a fork in the road in regards to my build and need help deciding which route to go. I’m not looking for a debate or pros and cons, just pictures so I can get a better idea of what it would look like. Thanks! - Brian

Many thanks, that controlled test tells me all I need to know. Fluid film and washes.

I just bought a 2018 TRD Off-road premium and love the truck, but I realize that Toyota and rust have a toxic relationship. What is the best way for me to prevent it from occurring on my shiny new frame. Its not so much an issue right now in NC but I will be relocating up to Maryland pretty...

Sand blasting the frame? That’s an OCD enthusiasts route which (correct me if I’m wrong) I don’t peg this guy as. With the exception of maybe a few questionable spots, it’s hard to tell, I’m willing to bet most of that comes off with a needle scaler. A good encapsulation paint and you’re golden...

It happens dude, don't beat yourself up over it. Its not even that bad. Personally I would fight for a buy back, go to a local shop and have them write something up saying that its structurally unsound (tell them you realize its probably fine, because it is, just explain the situation). If you...

Its not even close to warranting a frame swap, I'm just trying to preserve the current one. Sounds like I can get away with lifting the body up an inch or two and that should give me what I am after. Thanks. :yo:

Long story short, I bought a 2006 4Runner from Maryland, it has rust. It's not bad by any means, but its bad enough to do something about it and keep it from happening again. I plan on keeping this until Toyota finally brings out a diesel 5th/6th gen, then making it a devoted expedition and...

I was quoted $1600 for black Katzkin, installed, in my '06. It's what most of my local dealers use. https://katzkin.com/

It's been a long journey but I'm finally back in a 4Runner; the right 4Runner. I started out with a 2011 Limited, I hated it because it felt anemic - not enough engine for me. I made the move to a 2016 Tundra, loved it. Tons of power, tons of room for anything and everything. I ended up...

I don't want to derail this thread but perhaps you should do some research on the subject; you might be surprised in what you find. Generally, tuning is the killer of forced induction engines (or lack of) not the forced induction itself. A supercharger running low boost pressures with a safe...

Oh I completely forgot, you could find the lowest mileage V6 out there and throw a URD supercharger kit on it for $6k. You'll have more power than the v8 and more money in the bank!

Ok I'm going to play devils advocate here. I just took delivery on a 2006 Sport Edition with 79k, its a v6, but that shouldn't really matter in this context. I paid $12,795 OTD. Its clean, minty even. Frame needs some POR-15 love but I would venture to say any truck that has left the desert sun...
