42s 2000 Sport build

[42s on u]

Looks good! Do you have a close-up of the grille mesh? It almost looks solid in the pics.

Here's the mesh, it's real close to the mesh in the sport hood

The grill looks great, glad you didn't go full "Satoshi" on it. Looks like you are using a little Hardinge Tool Room lathe, is that correct? Did you get your clear corners off ebay?

Dude, your rig is so effin' clean. Major props. :thumb3:

You are correct, it's chucker. I run a machine shop with a lot of cool tools.

Thanks, that's what I'm going for.

Plus we haven't had any snow to take it out and wheel it.

And there's absolutely no snow in the forecast for the next month. This drought is horrible. :cry2:

In Virginia Beach, it was 17 and sunny yesterday, today is 30 and sunny, tomorrow to Saturday it is supposed to rain, but those days the weather jumps to 55-70. WTF?! I want snow, and I want it now.

So I have my projector retrofit stuff all here, lights are done, wiring here ready to go. But I'm having a blonde moment or something. The wiring just isn't making sense to me for some reason. So any help would be appreciated.

Great build. Your 4Runner is amazingly clean. Very nice work.

Couple more shots from today.

How did you get that ground clearance? Ahh, removed the running boards, I see :rockon: hahaha.

Super clean rig, definitely liking the color scheme

Where did your source the mesh for the grille?

And how do you like the roof rack.

 

[42s on u]

I got the mesh thru McMaster Carr.

I love the rack. Its perfect exactly what I was looking for.

So....I tried to put my Savage off road rock sliders on tonight. Turns out they are about 2 1/2 to 3" to long. If I turn full lock the tire hits. If I adjust it to clear at full lock its touching the rear tire. So now I have a really nice set of silver powder coated sliders that I need to cut up or sell... Not a good day.

 

[t4r4life]

what's the length?

I had to trim my Savage sliders also to clear my new 295s. They are just under 34"s. I took about 3/4" off the front of each side.

Not sure, I'll measure them tonight.

So what sliders do you guys have, and how do you like them? I'm looking for another option besides cutting these down since they are already powder coated.
