4Running Daily's Build Thread

Are you leaving the same chrome bumpers? I hope the paint job comes out decent changing the color and you're happy with it. I was nervous about mine and I disassembled every thing that was possible including door handles and the mirrors. I know you're just in high school and short on money but I wouldn't consider changing the color unless the door jambs were done. That just might be a little of my ocd but I even went and spray painted my engine bay afterwards to match because I couldn't stand seeing the different color.
 
It's cool about the respray, but door jambs and engine bay should be included if you change the color, and even then its pushing it for me, if you change the color of you car and pay that much for it, do it right and strip it down completely.
 
Ya, i know, but whatever.

No matter what it'll look better then it did. So I just can't wait to get it back and work on a useful mod.
 
Any reason you didn't get a sport hood while you were painting it anyways? I would have picked up a Certifit hood and had that sprayed instead of your regular hood. They aren't that expensive and you could get the scoop part later.

Honestly, the more I look at the sport hood, the less I liked it. I have no idea why, just a change of opinion. I'm just a crazy teenager that changes opinions everyday.
 
Haha, I know what you mean. I'm really looking forward to the new color. I'm happy you chose a color that isn't a factory color. I've always thought why would you pay all that money to look like another stock 4runner. I'd probably go with the FJ green or a grey like yours.

Any time frame for it to be completed?

There is already a 3rd gen painted FJ Green.

They said a week usually. They looked a little busy however, so probably closer to two weeks. Could be less depending on body work.
 
Alright so it will be done on Monday.
It will be Evergreen Pearl.

IT IS OFFICIALLY 16 YEARS OLD! WOOH!

All my bumpers are plasti-dipped. All trim pieces are repainted black.

To do list:

1) Sliders
2) Air Locker
3) Lift with Superflex Coils and Toytec Coilovers
4) Armor (ODL Front and Rear Bumper, assuming they redesign the rear bumper, and skids.)

I loved that trail, and I can't wait to go up again on a clear day with a locker.

I'm contemplating a 1 inch body lift before I start buying armor.
