Thanks, man! Never did move. The job opportunity did happen, but I ended up staying put and I commute sometimes and work from home mostly.

Front End upgrades This week we finally got the Solo Motorsports boxed spindles with uniball lower replacement, and heimed steering upgrade. I've been waiting months for this, and the day finally came. About Solo Motorsports spindles: 1996-2004 TACOMA / 1996-2002 4RUNNER ? Solo Motorsports...

Solo Motorsports boxed spindles, heim steering, lower uniball conversion We finished installation of the Solo Motorsports boxed spindles, lower uniball conversion (no more lower ball joint), beefed the steering outer links, and deleted brake hardlines (replaced with braided). This is good...

I had a cheapo roof rack on top for a while, but I'm liking the cleaner look. I need to get something low profile and cleaner than the old one. They do mess with the Ham antenna also... Dunno what I'm gonna do up top. Suggestions?

It's been a long time since I've updated this. I still have and love and spend too much money on my 4Runner...so at least I've got that going for me. The dreaded time has come to smog the beast, so we did some surgery, and smogged clean. The only problem now is that I've got a check engine...

Thanks. Sorry it's taken so long to respond. Been busy with life, but things are all good now. Ready to make some more moves on the truck. Stock belts...no bar to attach harness...yet. The seats are a massive improvement. My wife and I both have old-people issues like cranky hips and backs...

Get your wedge brackets here: Seat Brackets I don't remember the cost, but everything is online I believe. Install was simple, and they are bombproof...unlike many other seat brackets out there.

No blue. Oddly my favorite color, but not on my truck... I very much like the new Orange, and a deeper red like that marlboro may be just what the doctor ordered. I like where your head is at. :)

...almost sold her, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. Too much love for this truck. So...I need a paint job. The big question is what color? Interior is black and tan. I don't want to keep the stock color. I think I want something a little more modern. Any suggestions?

Decided not to sell. I got an offer, and I just couldn't pull the trigger. Thanks, guys. Shopping for paint...

Bump. What do you all think of Race Dezert classifieds? Might give that a shot. Otherwise Auto Trader?

There are trails like Hollister and not far from some serious stuff toward Tahoe, but there's not a lot of room to park it, and I doubt I'll get to use it as much as I'd like. The pre-runner is in my buddy's garage with no front end at the moment. We are in the process of fabbing a cage for the...

Thanks, JBurt. It's been fun building an running her, but I'm gonna have to move for work, and it won't be practical to have a big trail rig where I'm going. I could probably make it work, but I'd be bummed not being able to use it properly, especially since my work days will be amped up for a...

Price drop Dropped price to $15k based on some offline feedback. I'm willing to listen to offers, so please don't be shy.
