4Running Daily's Build Thread

[papabeach]

Ya James (Children of Bodom) recommended Magnuson to me, that's who rebuilt his, but the rebuild would be more than I paid for the unit haha. If you ever want your supercharger rebuilt, feel free to ship it to my house and I'll have DynoTech rebuild it and then I'll ship it back to you.

This would have been an awesome hook up. I had mine rebuilt by Magnuson not once but twice. After they shipped back to me the first time the rear bearings still sounded awful. They told me it was normal and everything needed a time to "be broken in." Well 3K miles later the sound was worse so the supercharger came off and went back to Magnuson for the 2nd rebuild. They did the 2nd for free and covered the shipping but what a PITA. I worked with Thomas and he was great...I just sent him a video/audio clip of noise and he was cool with that...just wish it would have been done right the first time. I don't know if I got a bad set of bearing or what happened...

With that said I have a new nose cone kit (minus the oil) and a stock pulley (new) if anyone needs it...happy to sell it at huge discount....

This is what I'll be doing for the next 2 days. Porsche Driving School.

Should be fun. Take some pics. The 5vz even with that S/C will seem like a dog afterwards.

It seems like a dog now! Haha my Mom's Mercedes E500, my Dad's Fiesta ST, and the Porsche, they're all race cars. The 4Runner is a joke haha

What color and type of paint did you use for the rims? Powder coat or do it yourself?

It's just Bronze rustoleum spray paint. I did it myself.

Where are you running them and what length are you gonna use? I want some 2" bumps up front and 4" out back.

I'm hoping to run them in the front once I get long travel, but I might keep them for the rear later on.

Really a big fan of ADS products though, just FYI haha. You can tell just by looking at the quality of the cans that these things are strong as ****.

189,000 miles. 13,000 miles since August 2014. Truck keeps on going without ever skipping a beat. Still gets over 20 on the highway. I average around 18 50/50 city/highway. Can't wait to get some new tires soon.

Damn, you get 18??? Maybe it's because of all the crap I carry or my wide tires, but I get 17 on a good day. Highway I get 20, though my last trip to moab, I averaged 22.

Yepp, skinnies are the best tires for this rig. That's why I'm getting rid of them hahaha

My gas mileage will decrease significantly with 35's though...

Yea those things are sexy. I've never seen or ridden in anything with ADS gear. I'm just gonna get some cheapo FOA bumps probably since I'll have all the other shit to buy this summer. Are yours 2.0 or 2.5s?

2.5's. I plan on replacing all my shocks with ADS products. They're just the best.

Sold the bumpstops for a profit. Seriously considering ordering ADS Coilovers with resi's, staying mid travel, and running 35's.

You gonna run their bolt in coilovers?

I'm jealous of all your craigslist finds. We dont really get much nicer shock/coilover stuff up here

So how much did you pay [MENTION=53337]SCRunner12[/MENTION] to give you an education on flipping parts?

He's scoping this:

FEELER: ADS C/O with Resi + TC UCA's - Tacoma World Forums

Already got all teary eyed about it...

Yes bolt in coilovers. I made over a grand on the supercharger, and I've made a lot on a lot of other stuff too. Most of the classes I'm in right now require attendance, so I have to show up, but most of the things we learn I already know, so I end up on forums and craigslist a lot. The Phoenix area has a lot of crazy deals that you need to jump on fast, often paying more than asking price.

I wish I could steal that deal, but the bastard never responds to my PM's. I'm looking at just buying the coilovers new from downsouthmotorsports.com for $1450. SCRunner has always been the idol though. It's hard not to keep this stuff haha. I sold that supercharger that was basically brand new that I only had like $800 invested in. That was incredibly difficult haha.




Edit- If anyone in general needs anything specific, shoot me a PM and I'd be happy to keep a look out for it.

Nice. Where is that at? Go Pro right? Suction mount? I want a Go Pro but know nothing about them

Sycamore Creek which is about 30 minutes North East of Phoenix. Correct, it's a GoPro 3+ and a suction cup mount. They're fun to play around with and aren't very hard to use. I definitely suggest them.

Haha that made me laugh last night when I got the email. Flipping parts is how I pay for my mods. Hence the lack of serious armor and everything is used. If you know what to look for it can be very lucrative. I also made a $1000 off my first SC flip.

BTW, I hate those feeler threads where the guy is thinking of SAS or not. To me that isn't something that you just kind of decide to do IMO. Definitely some good parts to buy though from that thread.

I always forget how built your truck is now, I still see this thread as when you first got your 4runner painted. It's looking amazing and LT would be sweet, but a good MT isn't anything to complain about.
