I haven't done much work to the runner lately, been biking a lot!! I have had a tick from around cylinder 5 since the wreck. Thought I was coming from the valves but haven't had time to pull the valve covers. So last week on the way home from work, I hit a bump in the road and the tick got...

Thanks man, I love the bumper!! Put the trunner to work last weekend, had a tree up root. Now it's time for a bonfire! This weekend I made a bike rack, and had to test it out!!

Thanks, the hardest part is replacing the radiator support; drilling out spot welds and getting the new one all lined up. After that everything pretty much bolts up. As for $$, I have about $600 in aftermarket body parts (including shipping) from rockauto. I still need to get it painted though.

Here is mine. Before (when it got totalled) After (T-runner)

Well got a new radiator in and got a few coats of paint on the bumper. Few pics the night I finished painting. Today at work!

Good to see another t-runner! I just finished my swap also. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/137428-new-me-4runner.html

Short term goal was to get it fixed to be my dd. Long term, I would like at most a 3" lift, bigger tires (no set on what size yet), and be a capable camping rig for when my 18 month old can start camping. Btw, I found a small crack in the top plastic cap of the radiator.

It's been awhile, but I just got my addicted offroad bumper yesterday!!! I couldn't wait, bolted everything up. Removing it tomorrow to paint.

Well it was a long day yesterday! Finally got to starting work on the runner around 8:30 last night, and next thing I knew it was 12:30 and the runner looked like this! I pulled it outside this morning to see it in natural light. Now I'm just waiting on my addicted offroad bumper to come in!

Last night I got the radiator support mostly in, I need to get some rivets. Tonight I came home to..... Everything unpacked. And I got the hood on. And best pics for last, just to see what I'm working towards. Just sat the the fenders and grille on for the pic. Sadly I have to work...

Nope they r Tacoma headlights. Luckily every one walked away from the accident.

Fixed the pics. Came home to more goodies, headlights!

It has been my wife's dd for about 4 years, just before Christmas she wrecked it and the insurance company totaled it. We bought it back and found a good deal on a 4th gen for her. I finally sold my cherokee to fund the 3rd gen rebuild. I thought the taco front end swap looked awesome and this...
