I wire wheeled the clearcoat off, cleaned with laquer thinner, sprayed them with green etching primer, light scuff pad, 3 coats of base, 3 coats of clear. Looking back, chemical paint stripper would've worked better than a wire wheel on the original cleat coat. Had I used that I could've just...

Hepar, Im curious what the backspacing on your wheels are.

Automotive catalyzed base / clear setup, I just picked a stock silver color. LandCrusier wheels, 265/75/r16 tires, stock height, for now...... I use a little $12 HF HVLP gun, the mini purple one, if you can bake a cake you can mix and spray catalyzed paint, and its much tougher than the stuff...

Well story goes I saw them on car-part.com for $300 I walked in there to see what was up, the manager wasnt in, but the guy showed them to me anyways and offered them to me for $200, I passed. I walked back in today, the manager was there, badass dude the kind you dont mess with, he says $300...

Got em, lesson of the day, don't try to haggle with a junkyard. These guys were hard asses, and I'm no slouch either. I ended up paying $250 no center caps :( they knew when I walked back in there they had me. Oh well here's a pic, I'm going to paint them metallic black. <a...

Ok now I feel dumb, the guy told me they've been for sale for a year, I actually tried to get them for $150, and walked when he said no. I'll go back tomorrow, hopefully the price hasnt changed (that's happened to me before). @PitBullRescuer- what shape were the tires in? I'd like to get...

I found a set of LC Rims locally for $200, I passed on them because they need refinishing. I've been thinking all day I should go back and get them. So is $200 a decent deal, how hard is it to find these things? Also what would be the value of my stock split spoke wheels? -Jeff

Here's a pic of the bus at the beach. It's my daily driver, the 4runner is to haul the kid around or long trips. The bus is a 1960 original paint car, so no I won't be painting it ;)

New guy here I wanted to post a picture of my 4runner and introduce myself. I just picked this up for $3k, 2 owner dealer maintained 200k on the odometer. So far I love it, not as big as what Im used to but it runs and drives perfect.

Hi, my name is Jeff Power I just sold my beloved 96 F-250 Powerstroke diesel to help pay some hospital bills for my son. After we payed the bills I had about $3k left over to buy another truck. The plan was to get a little Toyota excab 4X4 with a 22re in it, when I ran across this 4runner. I...
