First Snow
That's an awesome photo. Wish we had some snow
Side note saw you painted your flares and cladding. What paint did you use? What finish? Do you have a build thread? Sorry if its in your sig I'm on my tablet.
Its 4 coats of plasti dip black with 2 coats of plasti clear coat. Its held up almost a year now without peeling on the flares or cladding, only peeled where my leg brushes on the door threshold. You can use a spray gun with plastidip and do a whole vehicle, my bro just did his entire fj. No build thread yet too busy working.
A week and a half into my trip and I'm halfway across the country, as a rule I've done a bit of exploring in every state I've hit. The 4runner's done great! In North Dakota for the time being, gonna apply for a few jobs in Williston before I head somewhere else.
North Dakota? no way me too haha I live in the Bismarck area. If you get a job up there you planning on staying?
If you need any help on ways to get places or come down here let me know and I'd be glad to help!
I just did my rims..... so far so good! Question: Your 'Garage' indicated you have OME springs, did you source these and install them? I want to change my springs in the Spring, but I found that all sources, on this side of the border were $$$$.... I was going to buy them online State-side and drive them across the line. If I can get them here in Canada, without all that hassle, it would be nice.
Are those your original flares? Or do you have a source of used parts (Surrey wrecker??) I'm looking for some, and I'm not having much success finding some locally.... maybe I can find some, next time I'm down in Vancouver!
a secret road on the way up to baker in the low lands and it's only open at random times as there's a big gate there, i'd be willing to show you one day if we can get a few guys together to go put around up there and other places in the Forrest as well. can't really explain it and really don't want to post it on the internet here, i can try to mark it on a map for you if you'd like,send me a pm if you want that instead. cheers!
Washed my pig today. Planning on finally filling the cladding holes and bedlining the rockers/fenders this week.![]()
