A belated welcome to the forum. Your years of Tacoma experience should serve you very well with your new purchase. Congratulations! Looks very nice.

Was up late researching sliders actually, and BAMF is on my short list. Cool that they are local to us here...

Thank you! Jerry does some top notch work, wish he had more stuff to offer for our T4Rs.

I've seen photos only, but his sliders look very nice indeed. I imagine you plan to pick them up locally... His are longer than most and will entail that us Limited guys trim fender flares - i believe. I look forward to your install.

Nice rig! Looks really clean and ready to go for the plans you have for it. Sounds like you have done a lot already!

I had his sliders on my Tacoma as well as his shock relocation kit. Yea I’m going to pick them up. I think your right about trimming the flares a bit, hopefully it’s not too much.. I’ll post up pics

Thank you! Yea I’m trying, it’s had a few owners so there is a lot of little stuff to go through.

Changed all the gear oil to redline today. Finally finished installing the LBJs, UBJs, OTRs, CV’s, wheel spacers, and steering rack bushings today as well..
Tomorrow I’m going to finish installing my radio and take it to get smogged.

 

[T4topher]

Welp just got the smog done, thought I was going to have to come back because I had the battery disconnected. Got a couple pics real quick while driving it around. When installing the radio I installed a switch for my antenna (I never use the radio..)

Runner looks good! You should bring your "new to you" 4runner to Tim and I's semi-annual BBQ/MOD day at his place...

It will be November 3rd.

Drove it up to Tahoe over the weekend for my wedding, seemed to do good although when it was really cold the rear struts for the tailgate were pretty much useless.. smashed my finger so hard that it popped today, ouch.. more updates coming soon..

Strongarm struts. I recommend the overcharged model if you have any extra weight on the liftgate, I added a few pounds of sound deadening so it helps.

Nice buy! I'm not always the biggest fan of the two-tone colors, but I really like the green/grey combo.

Thank you! I’ve always loved the jade mica Toyota’s.

Actually I already have the strong arm struts, just haven’t installed them yet. Didn’t get the overcharged ones I don’t think though. Thanks for the recommendation.

Got a few things in the mail, also a few things that I’ve already installed.

Not going to install an amp, stock speakers suck..

AFE intake.. might switch to the air raid tube with stock filter box, not sure..

Gotta love weather techs, have them in all of my vehicles..

Moonroof out of a 97 limited part out..(works great!)

Matte black paint for rims and emblems, some of the best spray paint IMO

Waiting for my addicted front bumper...

Dash ‘crash pad’ out of that same 97 part out..

Rear hatch out of same 97..

Miscellaneous stuffs..

My poor crushed finger..

He'll lower the angle too so they dont touch.

Hmm good to know. I’m sure it’s too late to ask for a different angle, ordered them like 5 weeks ago.. hopefully they don’t have to cut too much.

Thank you!

Started on the valve cover gaskets, spark plugs/wires, pcv valve, 02 sensors (pulled a stud with one of the nuts), and oil/filter. Took a long time to clean off all the gunk on the covers, they must of been leaking for quite a while.

nice. i am doing my valve cover gaskets in a few more weeks. they look nasty, so i can imagine yours took a while to clean off.
