I've been running (no pun intended) without my back bumper since March of this year and haven't looked back. It does give it a much more agressive look, espicially if you don't have the spare under there. I have an SR5 and the chrome was totally shot due to NE winters. I'll try to post pics...

I can't get enough of this rig. Ridiculous.

Are those 16x8s or 16X7s? I thought all stock rims were 15/16X7?

I probably paid a little bit too much $200 for just the front skid. But it's basically brand new, no sratches dents, doesn't even look as if it was mounted and is powder coated black with the Budbuilt lettering on the front. Overall I guess not too bad of a deal if brand new bud wants $279+$25...

Seafoamed my 2001 with 140,xxx last week. Used about 1/2 can through the PCV hose, 1/4 in the crankcase and 1/4 in the tank. Idle and startup immediatley improved. Drove for about 250 miles then had my oil changed. Was due for an oil change but the seafoam changed a relatively clear oil to...

Anyone installed a budbuilt skid? Bought a used one from a Taco owner. Dry-fitted it and it lined up perfectly, should I simply reuse the stock hardware?

I like those wheels, can I ask how much they set you back?

I went from 225s (came with steelies) to 31'' BFG's and I noticed no power loss.

Truck looks great, great color. Looks like you went with sonoran steel? I just did my 1.2 and I'm very happy with it. I would def lose the running boards. How easily did that 285 fit in the spare location?

$245 for each side sounds about right for CV's. Replacing boots is worthless as the labor is just as intensive to replace the boot(s) as is it to repalce the entire joint. Save yourself the hassle down the road and just have the whole cv replaced. Both my boots are splits and I've been...

Anyone know if a Bud Built skid plate for a 1995 - 2003 Tacoma will also fit a 3rd gen 4runner?

Can't help you with the specific problems. My tranny seems fine (knock on wood), but my shifters do move quite a bit during drivers and I've heard that from other 3rd genners too so that shouldn't be part of your issue.

Unfortunately 01's have that feature. Mine got broken into a few months back and the glass shop didn't do a great job with the replacement imo, every time I put the window up with the auto the window hits the top and then comes back down about 3". Pretty annoying if you ask me.

By far the best 4th gen I've ever seen. Kudos to having the balls to do that.
