    Wheel painting prep?

    Playing cards instead of tape.... I was researching wheel paintin for a while and everyone here has got it down it seems. I painted a set for my buddy as a "trial run" before I did my own. I used only Duplicolor wheel paint products and theyre amazing. Scotch brite scuff pad, lacquer thinner...

    5th Gen T4R Picture Gallery

    Yea knockings not that cool but I think we hae a very VALID OPINION, lol, here. I just dont understand why people do some things to their TRUCKS. And like I've seen other members here say: It's just odd that toyota decided to do a 20" rim option on such a rugged vehicle. Oh well. Whatever floats...

    5th Gen T4R Picture Gallery

    I'm feeling the same way. I DO NOT understand wh people spend money ruining a perfectly nice truck. I feel like 20'' rims are a downgrade and it looks rediculous. Should've bought a range rover for that. Runners are one of the most capable and rugged suv's to ever be massed produced and maybe...

    3rd Gen. Brush Guard

    Just a little fyi there's a guy selling a full brush guard on San Diego's craigslist for $75 and I'm pretty sure thats a great deal. I looked them up and the cheapest I could find one that looked like it was $350. See if it's for you and this guy might ship for the right fee. He says it's clean...

    FS : 2000 4runner sport running boards (black)

    running boards. I've been trying to get $75 for mine and it's been impossible. Not even an offer. Try doing ebay and craigslist too. Ebay seems to work well for auto parts in the past for me. And hey, what size tires are you running and what lift? I just put some tires on but they do a little...

    TRD Offroad stickers!! PICS!!

    Yea I guess 2 for 37 bucks aint bad but it is a bit for stickers man. I found a guy on ebay and for 15 bucks got 2 stickers for my rear fenders. Some people are rightfully skeptical when it comes to knock offs but these are STICKERS not cell phones or watches or something. Anyhow, they are...

    F/S: FOUR 265 70 16's Pirelli Scorpion AT's in California

    I have a set of four. 2 are "brand new" actually have about 2000 miles on them and the other two have about 30-35 percent tread left. They're all free of gouges and ready to be driven on. Just took them off to put on some gy duratracs. Make me an offer and theyre yours. Not looking for much here...

    Painted my wheels

    DUPLICOLOR wheel paint is definitely the most coin friendly and easy diy method for wheels. I didnt do my whole wheel but i did paint part of my center punchout and some trim with it. I used the satin black and topcoated with the clear. This stuff is awesome. Goes on even and dark so u really...

    3rd Gen T4R Picture Gallery

    Right on quiksilvr....well it looks nice man. I have a little rake on mine, its a 2000 sport, im about 1 in. lower in front but I'm not sure what size tires i can fit right now. I'm gonna do a minimal spacer lift in front and back within the next few weeks and get some tires. I'll post some...

    3rd Gen T4R Picture Gallery

    Yo Quiksilvr..... Wow I love the look of your truck. Clean and mean as I would say. Im just curious as EXACTLY what kind of lift stuff you did. I'm looking at a spacer kit right now and I wanna buy asap but I'm torn on what sizes to go with. I want the look you have. Not too jacked up just want...

    How much did you pay for your 3rd gen?

    Recently bought a 2000 sr5 for $5300 with 152k on the motor. Took it to my mechanic, who works at toyota, and got the checks done and it was a keeper. Thing runs soooooo good man. And its just gettin broken in!!! It's in pretty good shape too. Really wanted to hold out for a 4x4 but needed a...

    3rd Gen T4R Picture Gallery

    Yea I feel the same way. I'm gonna keep it clean and mean! gonna do a daystar spacer kit. What do u recommend? I'm thinking just 1" spacers in the front (supposedly yields 2" of lift) and then fitting some bigger rubber under there and possibly some spidertrax. Whattaya think?

    WTB a high mileage 3rd gen - anything to avoid?

    And personally I like the Sport Editions. They come with a hood scoop and a little bit better ride. Oh and the fender flares. If you can find a limited theyre obviously nice too but finding one with acceptable leather might be a stretch, I looked at a lot that were nice just worn inside. Turned...
