4Running Daily's Build Thread

[4Running Daily]

Also you don't like the wide look of 305's or 285's then the 35's will look extremely wide.

I do like the look of 35's, they look killer. My deal is UCA clearance. I probably will buy tires before rims. I don't want to run spacers. 255's are not as wide as my current tires, which clear my UCA fine. The issue will occur with 35's, which obviously can be fixed with UCA's or wheels or spacers. I don't plan on buying UCA's this year. I do plan on getting rims in fall or winter.

I think 255's are the way to go.

Good call, you're one of the more responsible and logical 16 year olds I've run into. Most would have trashed the 4runner and had their parents buy them a Ford or something by now.

Thanks haha!

About that Ford, I may be taking a Ford Focus ST to college... I'm keeping the 4Runner though!

How'd that iPhone screen repair go?

Commuter cars are key in college. I had a Corolla for 4 years while in college.

Don't remind me of the iphone repair...haha I ended up putting it 75% back together and couldn't get the new screen connections to attach properly. So I started disassembling and somehow ripped one of them off. Now I need a new screen and tear it back down again. It's sitting in pieces in my living room and my Fiance is bugging me to move it, but I don't want to lose any pieces. Got any links to screens you've used with success for a 4S?

Haha! I'll look for a receipt when I get home. I average about 4 repairs a week which averages to about $110 a week. The average amount of work is 20 minutes. So technically speaking I get pain $82.50 per hour. Hahaha

Kegs don't fit very well in a Ford Focus. Nor is it a fun ride for a college road trip like others can be (a la the Lincoln Conti in Animal House).

Then again, if you are staying in CA for college (Cal Tech, Stanford), it is a logical fiscal move.

When I test drove it, I measured the back seat and I should be able to fit 3 kegs in the back seat with out an issue... HAHA JK

I plan on staying in California.

I'm going to try REALLY hard to not mod the ST past wheels and tires to keep it as daily driver friendly as possible. But we all know how that goes... haha

I can't find any actual receipts because I buy from different people every time. My rule is to buy one off eBay from somewhere in the US for above $30.

This happened as I was pulling into school.

Only 164,000 miles? And you had the audacity to write "this s*#t is old"? It is just breaking into stride.

I saw a Focus ST in our company parking lot; it belongs to a coworker in IT. All the bells and whistles. I caught up with him and had a peek inside. It is definitely not my grandmother's Focus, that's for sure. Quite nice. The guy was torn between the ST and a GTI, liking the former for its low end torque. I guess stay sober then and have fun driving the ST at college.

Hey, even John Hennessey has one for a DD. Not happy with the CAI filter location:

It is 17 years old this month!

The ST is definitely really cool.

Two things I need to do soon:

Oil Change this week

Replace Clutch and Re-surface flywheel SOON. It's slipping like crazy. I don't have the time to do it myself, so I'll be getting some quotes this week.

 

[madbomber08]

Do you know what kind of clutch you're gonna get?

I'm thinking Grip Force off eBay. Alot of people are running them on this forum.

I might go with something else though. Haven't researched much yet

Oil Change: 164,444

That's pretty sweet. Also another benefit of living in a populated area - more clients... I bought an iPod Touch 2G a while back, and fixed the screen, it was super easy. I've done some electronics repair, but I need to learn more about soldering. Good business for sure!

And suffice to say, I did not keep the iPod. I gave it away later, after I used it for a week and got all that Apple junk out of my system. Sorry, just don't like Apple products!

They are pretty retarded at times. My best friend is the youngest person apple has ever hired, he's 17. So I hear alot of inside stories and such.

Over all, they're still the only phone company I'd buy from.

Two weeks later it's up and running again!

I still need to buy sliders really bad! They're next.

Throw a supercharger on there while the motors fresh!

Will you buy me one

 

[Stockwell45]

When I win powerball on the lotto, I'll definitely buy you one!

...I'm still waiting for that day to come.
