3rd Gen T4R Picture Gallery

[GottaBeTRD]

Hey everyone. So I'm kinda new here and I've been creeping on this site for the past month or so. But I figure now that I got some things done to my stock 4Runner, I might as well participate.

Here it is when it was so boring, that if Christina Hendricks drove by in it topless, you wouldn't even look twice. ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Today.

I owe a lot of this look to GottaBeTRD as I pretty much completely plagiarized his truck haha. Sorry man. Plagiarism is the highest form of flattery.

Next up will be to make anything that is shiny into black


2000 4Runner
5speed 4x4 4Cyl
Slow as dog sh!t

dang man i think those rims look better on your truck then mine lol! are those 16's? Oh and im not offended at all by the way but thanks man i will take it as flattery but in a manly kind a way. i cant wait to see more pics! what do you have planned next?

Writing to Jon..

Quote: "Friend with a Liberty told me there was an impossible obstacle in the middle of the woods on an old trail. Said him and his Jeep buddies had to winch up it. So I bit, drove down the trail and found it. A slick drainage pipe that they didn't have the traction, approach angle or flex for. The dam Yota wins again! Jeeps!"

To Jon: Sweet photos of your ride and it doing it's job. I'd like to get my '97 4runner to that point, too. Being to traverse that type of obstacle I mean.

Decided to go for a cruise

I took these on a nearby road which leads to the local ski hill:

Just noticed my wife is in almost every pic...sitting in the passenger seat! HA HA!

Haha thanks man. Probably because I have contrast. But there is absolutely wrong with an all black truck like yours. Yes they are 16's with 265/70 just like you. I was goina go with the General Grabber AT2 like you but they were backordered everywhere. So I went with the Hankook DynaPro ATM RF10. I really like how they look. I'm most likely goina paint anything that is chrome into black.

[awpsome]

HA HA! Yeah, she bit her tongue for that one for sure!!! I had hinted yesterday that I wanted to paint my winter wheels before throwing them back into storage.....she says "I don't know what you're thinking, but you're not stacking those wheels and tires in my house!! It's bad enough we had a bumper in here!!" HA HA HA! The winter set are in the attic of the garage as I type this......lol!

cool man yeah your tires still look great! thats crazy about the Grabbers though. people must be discovering them, haha people kind of stray away because they are made by general but really they are an excellent tire!


when you blacken that chrome its gonna look sick! good luck man looking forward to seeing the pics that will look awesome for sure

a nice thing about the procomps i thought id share; when i clean my truck i shine the wheels up with some meguiars shiny stuff cant remember what its called but it makes them look really nice i hate it when they're dirty lol

ive actually been trying to get rid of them. i posted an add in my local classifieds to trade for some fj trd wheels. we'll see how that goes lol! but yeah after having them for a while i kinda want some contrast too now. the fj wheels are the only wheel ill trade them for though so im not completly sick of my procomps.

FX-R retrofit

Just thought I'd post some pictures of the new retrofit! The front looks absolutely amazing to me and kinda makes the rear look bland... :/

sorry for the repetitive shots just super proud of my 4runner right now :trophy:

Awesome job on those lights man, really unique looking and it seems like you've done them right:thumb3: If you're looking to clean up the rear lighting, I might suggest LED tail lights (smoked would look great on your truck IMO) and LED license plate lights. They really "pepped up" my rear and I'm actually in love with them, prob one of my favorite mods haha. But anyways, just a suggestion if you have the cash for them (usually around $130-140 new, a bit pricey but well worth it from certain companies). Your truck is looking real nice :thumb3:

 

[fenrisx]

I really like that Shadow Mica color! If my 4Runner wasn't going to end up a rust bucket up here.. I'd like to get mine painted that color.

 

[Jon]

SQ. MD- wow that looks amazing. What projectors are those and what paint did you use inside the housing?

 

[GottaBeTRD]

X2 on the LED licence plate bulbs and LED tails. i beleive for you they are 194 bulbs for your rig. i think some of those black and amber corner lights would look pretty sweet too!

he used Fxr Projectors and not sure on the paint.
