Nice! I’ll have to give them a call when I’m ready to go. Just gotta bang out a bunch of maintenance stuff first. Thank you for your reply!!

When did you order that Shrockworks bumper? It looks like it came with the round fog/off-road light holes rather than the new square ones they show on their website now. I’m a HUGE fan of their original/old style with round openings but I just don’t like the new square ones at all and I think...

Good to know! I’ve only been there one time and it was when I took my driving test. That was pretty quick, too. Luckily I’m working Friday and Sunday this week so I have Monday-Friday off next week. Plenty of time to rot away in DMV lines. I’m determined to get it legal and on the road!

No way... That looks so good! Makes a world of difference for sure. We’re basically ready to go tackle Moab already and start pulling Jeeps out of ditches! I must confess I’m very jealous of that color. Does it have a tan interior? I have a weakness for green on tan cars. My ‘95 Camry is the...

Awesome, good to know. Hopefully I’ll be able to pick it up this week. Thank you for all your help!

Dude... Just skimmed through all 8 pages of your work. Very impressive and inspiring! I admire and respect your ability to do the “boring and mundane” maintenance first so you have a stable and reliable platform to build on. I really hope I have that kind of willpower. I’m reading all the...

Thank you!!! I’ll have to go through your thread now, look into my future a little bit. Any recommendations? Tips or tricks? For maintenance, modifications, or anything really. I’ve never been very handy or mechanically inclined but I’m gonna go it all a go with this one!

Congrats on the new ride! I'm in Southern Rhode Island, like 15-20 minutes from Stonington/Pawcatuck, CT. How do you like yours? Did your brush guard give you that paint rub on your fenders, also? It looks terrible on mine!

Hey, thank you! So I used two socket wrenches and a couple different sized sockets to get them all off. I needed 12mm, 13mm, and 14mm sockets to get the whole job done. I'm sure from the factory all the bolts were the same size but over time and with some rust I had better luck mixing up the...

Today I ditched my brush guard and my running boards! If anybody wants either of them, they're all yours. I have no use for them anymore. Before: After:

Day 1! Today I got to work on a few things, nothing too exciting. I removed the brush/grill guard and the running boards. Tools needed: -For Brush Guard --Socket wrench --19mm socket -For Running Boards --2 Socket wrenches --12mm, 13mm, 14mm sockets Project Cost: $0.00 Project Time: 90...

Hello, everybody! My name is Luke and my 4Runner and I live in Rhode Island (go figure). I bought it on March 21, 2018. Over the course of the last week I've been compiling posts around the forum until I was able to start my own thread. This will be mostly small updates and maintenance logs but...

Ha, I totally missed that sticker actually! I was talking about your IAFF one in the windshield. But that American flag is wicked cool, I may have to look into that one myself. Ride looks awesome, looking forward to watching it progress!

Just bought my own “new to me” ‘99 Limited in Desert Dune/Silver. Sadly, no e-locker for me, though. But it does need a bit of maintenance. Glad to see someone with such a nice ride is putting in the work to keep it going! Gives me motivation to start buying parts and diving in.

Hey! I know this is almost a year old but did you ever end up selling those? The ‘99 Limited I just bought is missing them on both sides. Would gladly purchase off another member before eBay or hunting though junkyards.
