A few pics of my 4runner

[The Dude]

Hey all...decided to finally post some pics of my rig.

 

[The Dude]

another one

She's a 99 3.4 SR5, pretty much stock for now. Took off the running boards, roof rack/wind deflector, mud guards, and the tow hitch. Got a flowmaster super 40 installed and kept the stock tip. Painted the corner lights and turn signals on the front and rear lights with a can of $30 japanese lens paint i picked up on ebay. Replaced the 225's with a set of 31x10.5 bfg's on my stock 15's. Only wish it were a 4wd, but I got it for a such a good deal I couldn't pass up the offer.

Can't really do any serious offroading with a 2WD, so I just enjoy the scenery instead.

Cool place to keep a mag light if you don't mind a couple scratches on the plastic of your center console.

My trusty 2 dollar Navigation system.

Custom sub enclosure with a JL Audio 10w3. Still have to get it carpeted.

 

[The Dude]

The brain for my stereo system. Got a JL Audio Clean sweep, (OEM interface with a digital equalizer) so I could keep a stock head unit while getting aftermarket quality sound.

 

[The Dude]

That's all folks. Just thought I'd formally introduce myself to you all. Sorry for the multiple posts. Still haven't figured out how to include more than one pic on a single post.

Nice looking Rig.....I like the color.

 

[The Dude]

Hey...thanks for the comment, Tom.

What did you fab this box out of? I cant tell if it is fiberglass or wood. I have been thinking of making the same enclosure. Do you have any tips for this construction?

 

[The Dude]

Hey Judo....I actually paid a local stereo shop to get it fabricated when I got my amps, components, and the interface installed, because at the time, I didn't know too much about car audio. If I could go back and do it over again, I would've probably done it myself to save some bucks.

The box is actually made of wood, and it doesn't seem to difficult to build at all. The one thing that I wasn't too happy about was the fact that they sawed out the storage compartment area to make some extra room for the box to fit. No big deal though, because I don't ever plan on taking the box out.

Another thing too is that the box is not really anchored down to anything except for a couple of long screws that they drilled through the inside of the box into the plastic on the panel. The screws actually keep the box pretty tightly secured, but I don't think it would hold it down if I got into a wreck. I was thinking about maybe chaining it down to the D-ring on the floor of the cargo area. Anyone have any suggestions?

yeah why dont u extend the box down a little bit so it is resting on the wheel well and the floor of the body?




hey dude!
man i kile the ATT you've got on your 4r
i was thionking about taking off the running boards and the finder flairs but im glad to see it looks more like and offroader

 

[The Dude]

Hey shoot, thanks for the suggestion, I might go ahead and do that and screw the box down to the body.
