My 3rd Gen's been sitting around lately as I've been placing my energy into other projects; A lot has already been put into the set up and it's a great starting point for someone who wants to make a complete "Camping/Off roading" rig with her. The paint and leather are in overall great...

SOLD~! - Thanks Sean! I have a Hilux Surf Spoiler that has the back up mirror for sale; Has minor blemishes that should be touched up, prep'd, and then primed for painting. I'm offering it up for $300 for local pick up (cash or venmo). Or, if you're willing to pay for shipping costs then we...

Never received a refund for a returned spoiler Jason at Burtmans Industries was quick to provide customer service once he got in touch with me.

In actuality, it took close to 2 months from the time I ordered to the day of pick up. I have no regrets for the decision I made. I try to support local businesses...though local in my case means within the Bay Area-ish ;) Ironically, these sliders taught me how to weld ;) They may also...

Welded on Eimkeith PCK I've had these sitting around for a while and decided that my welding skills are decent enough to create a weld good enough, good penetration, to work on some structural welds. So, I pulled out my Eimkeith PCK that have been sitting on my shelf for the past 2 months...

Like weekendclimber stated, you should check to see if your wheels are balanced; maybe a wheel weight fell off? Also, you should get a friend to turn y our steering wheel while you check your steering rack and pinion bushings to see if there's play. If so, replace those because that could also...

10mm head bolts I just recently replaced my lower valance: https://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/294830-shawnathan9s-build-thread.html#post3603381 The metal bumper attaches to the lower valance using around 6-8 10mm head bolts that fasten into the lower valance which is supposed to have...

Welded on Rock sliders;) The paint still feels like it's not 100% cured but enough to handle it now. So, the BAMF rock sliders had some unwelded seams, on the inner channel that were not covered by the primer or paint. In retrospect, I should have added a weld there because the area appears...

tgreenwood75 (Ended up going for Metallic/matte Gun Metal) I spent a lot of time at Home Depot, this morning, contemplating what color I'll settle for the rock sliders. I spoke to a guy working in the paint section, trying to get some feedback about the closest color to bare metal; Still...

BAMF Rock sliders I picked up my rock slider order from Bay Area Metal Fabrications in Benecia yesterday morning. Turns out that they forgot about the powder coat request on my work order but they didn't know until I arrived after my 1.5 hr drive from the Peninsula. On the spot, I had to...

I used the passenger side of the rear hatch trim: Shawnathan9's Build Thread There's enough room behind that end that allows you to bolt on a rear camera. - Another forum member stated that you could even remove the entire license plate trim to route your cable without drilling. For me, the...
