a hello thread w/ pics

[TripleD]

Hello all i have been around now for a while figured i would make a hello post. I have had my 4runner for 5 years now but was in maint. mode for a bit. so this is the runner when i got it.

over the next few years i had the timing belt done, water pump, front wiring harness, yellow top batt., removed running boards.

then this last month we decided to do some fun stuff to it. started with a 3 inch toytech coilover, pan drop , diff drop and 5150/890 in back and get rid of some rust on the hitch, wife jumps in to help all the time

this is after

then decided to do a new stereo, 5ch amp and speakers and tint

and then we did some new tire and wheels

then it moved 3 inchs and took a peice of trim , got it home and took the other side off and washed it. and this is how it sits now

next i hope for a bumper and sliders, transmission cooler, diff breather. and to meet some CO ppl.

Colorado is beautiful country, I live nearby!

ya i have a few pics of your truck saved. helped a ton in choosing tires. the wife is just waiting on the ok to paint my trim black. i really dont like the two tone. I got a practice flare to try diff products on so we will see. she is great she loves to get her hands dirty. shortly after we started dating we bought this dodge and she loved working on it.

She is truly the best

Looks great man. Love the wheel choice. Also what amp is that? Looks like a 5 channel maybe?

I'm also relatively nearby so If you ever head up here let me know!

its a Alpine 5 channel, 6.5 component alpine up front, 5.25 polk audio in rear, with a 10 inch alpine sub, going to make a new sub box that blends a bit better.

That's a nice looking rig. I like what you have done with it. I will model mine after yours if I can ever get this engine back together. With 300k it is in serious need of some TLC.

I love the stash spot for the amp. I thought about the same location.
Do you have any overheating issues with the cover on?

Truck looks great. I have been considering those wheels for awhile now. But I wasn't sure how they would look. I think they look awesome! Great job!

nope, not sofar, with the inside panel gone it helps a little maybe, but will keep a eye on it
