'99 4Runner Build up - Post Tacoma

[codyjh]

Go figure, I had some extra lumber lying around, so I started working on my rear cargo storage platform. This is far from being finished, and the Bazooka most definitely will not be enclosed in the platform. I have other plans for that. Stay tuned.

This post would be worthless with out pictures, so see below!

[codyjh]

Thanks guys.

My Bro and I fully intended to work on the storage/platform in the cargo area today, but then remembered we were supposed to move a friend of ours!

So here she is with an empty trailer!

Also, bought this off of a T4R member this past weekend. I'll post pics and provide feedback on the sell once the grill arrives.

Looks much better! I like it!



.. But the incoming chrome, not so much.

I like it too! And I don't think the chrome grille is bad. It is replacing an already chrome grille.

Thanks- what if I prepped, and painted Natural White? We'll see, I'll keep chrome for now though.

Now we're talking!

I think it would look great if you painted all the cladding white.

I agree, especially after seeing Myles' build!

And that is how a $50 dollar project turns into a $1000+ project...

Yeah, the white on white flares looks great in my opinion.

And isn't that what this forum is for?

Yeah, I really need to stop logging in. I can't handle any more.

Received the '02 Grille this afternoon from tmaxx13 and shortly after it was installed! For only having her less than 9 months, the T4R has come a long way. Still a long way to go!:snacker:

Before: 12/24/10 (Date of purchase)

Before 9/19/11

After 9/19/11

Side Shots (12/24/10 - 9/19/11 Current)

wow lookin good man i like it. very clean too. I have the same lift as you, just not put on yet. Do you have an additional spacer up front? Rake doesnt look too crazy

Thank you. Yeah, the rake is very minimal. You mentioned you had the same lift, and while we do have LC coils for the rear, from your signature line, our fronts are different.

I have Tacoma TRD Progressive coil springs with a 3" Toytec aluminum spacer. You have the Tundra TRD front (which is what I wanted- but scored what I have for a great price locally). You'll probably want the top out spacer for the front, but in the end you should be very satisfied with your yet to be installed set up. Look forward to seeing progress pics in your build.

Thank you again for the compliment. My 4Runner still has a long way to go, and while I'd love to throw armor on the rig, especially a front bumper and sliders, it just is not a priority for me.
