1st Gen T4R Picture Gallery

Trail Gear rock defense bumper. Note: Be careful when buying. Don't be me and accidentally buy one for the pickup! It took too much work to make it work for the 4runner!

Happy she's on!

I really am sorry about that, I thought you knew what you were buying.

What did you guys end up doing, chopping the body mount/cutting the bracket, or moving it inboard?

..Are you the guy I bought it from on RME? Haha

It was a case of not doing the research before I bought, no ones fault but my own. We did chop the body mount a little. We're gonna weld the bumper as well and gusset more of the mount back to the frame for strength.

It was just a reminder to be a little more careful, and do a little more reading next time. I had wanted one of those bumpers forever and made an assumption. Oh well. 4 hours of extra fab time, nothing ridiculous.

I now have super custom bumper intended for 3rd gen 4x4 pickup! She cleaned up realll nice, looked absolutely brand new after the wire wheel. C:
 
I'm feeling a little nostalgic. Here are some pictures of my old green 85' 4Runner; bobbed, dovetailed, and wheeled hard! RIP

And my old 86' Turbo 4Runner that I sold to buy and build the 3rd Gen 4Runner.

Beautiful Turbo 4runner. I've always digged the gauge cluster that the plush models came with. I haven't seen your third gen but i imagine it must be amazing if you let this sweet honey go to build it!

I picked up one of those digital dash clusters on ebay last month. Gonna try and fit it to my turbodiesel.

Back in the saddle

Haven't gotten on here in a long time. I got my 4runner fixed up. I still have to work out some bugs here and there but the exterior is mostly done. I say mostly, cause with this hobby, you're never done. Always wanting something else.

From this

To this in 4 years

Drove all the way from Kansas City, MO to Moab, UT. Didn't stay as long as I wanted to, but there's always next year.
