It looks like your 4runner is being born right out of the rock. Nice pics.

Got my skirts installed on one side

First trip with front and rear lockers and 4.88's. Badass is all I can say. These are certainly going to get me in some trouble haha. Not too many photos, hopefully some video will surface from others

Got a little rash on the door from an off-camber section

Then I found this website with neat little 4Runner keychains for $4.10 shipped to my door.

Bad ass indeed. As far as getting into trouble? I do that plenty fine already. I'm hoping when I'm double locked I'll be able to get out of trouble. But your right, I'll probably just get into more. lol

Biscuit joiner? If you had a wide enough planer you could have really got those joined pieces looking as one.
Work doesn't let you use the garage after hours?
Your neighbors have quite the nice pool and hot tub out there in the side yard but no slide.

Haha I wish I had a biscuit joiner. Legitimately eyeballed it with dowels. The side I posted with finish on it is the back. The front I actually sanded smooth. It looks pretty good given my lack of tools.
Work definitely did not allow use of the tools after hours which was a bummer.
Overall though, this drawer project is coming out surprisingly well. Just need to figure out something to lock the drawers in place. The paddle latches I bought won't work because the Walnut is too thick.

Very impressive Connor with just using dowels. That takes real skill. Keep up the great work.

Thank you!
Both drawers are glued and screwed. Haven't hung them yet

2 Stainless steel 0.50" Quick Release Pins drilled through the top. Waiting on McMaster to deliver them, and then I'll install and add pictures of them.

Your invisible drawers turned out great. The finish looks really good.

Thank you! I'm sure your 80 will be even prettier
Haha I'd say so! Stupid expensive even to build though. I'm at like $300 in supplies.

Thanks for the compliments!:nicethread:
Usually I'm not a huge fan of the bronze rims but I really like the way yours came together!
Whats your gas mileage with those 35's?
I was around 20 mpg freeway with 35's and stock gears. With the re-gear, I averaged 16 mpg driving to Phoenix fully loaded.

Are you still running your 315s without a wheel spacer? When it's time for me to get new tires I'm planning on getting SCS f5 16x8 wheels & deciding between their 4.5 or 3.5 backspacing option. I know the wheel backspacing vs tire clearance is a balancing act especially with 315s. The sweet spot for my current 315s on stock 16x7 with 4.5 backspace on .75 spacers has worked out well but have decided to take the advice I've gotten over the years & run my 315s on the recommended 16x8 to minimize whatever the potential issues are of running 315s on my current 16x7 instead of the recommended 16x8.
