So I've been on this forum for a couple months now and some of you might have seen my other poser build thread,

http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/87279-newbiee.html


;But I wanted to make an official build thread and I finally decided to get started on that. :D

Here it is to this very day umm July,2011:

And this is how it looked liked when my parents handed it down to me..

It came with those clear corners and window visors! woo and those evil running boards..

My first mod was lift and tires.

Tires: 285/70/16 Nitto Trail Grapplers
Wheels: MB Wheels V Drive.

Lift: Toytec Ultimate Lift Kit which was the Bilstein 5100 adjustables up front and OME 890 Springs with Procomp 9000 shocks

Oh and then I eventually got to remove those running boards.

My dad's mechanic threw in some HID's for free when he installed the lift so yay ;D

After a couple months I then needed a change and went on a Plasti-dip 'ing spree and PD'd the rear bumper, license plate trim, emblems, rear spoiler, front grill (minus the toyota emblem) and also repainted the rusty hatch.(not with PD)

And I just realized I don't have any pics with the tow repainted haha but its the truth!! x]

and to complete the front stance I ordered Outdoor Logic's Front Bumper and the quality is excellent and Jimmy and his shop buddies have excellent customer service. :D

So far so good! My brother has a silver Ltd. and I must say he didn't go wrong choosing flat black for his wheels...go for it.
 
But I'd get them powder coated and not plasti dipped.
Your rims are chrome so plasti dip isn't gunna stick well without some sanding and you don't want to sad your rims.
 
Bumper looks great. And I agree. The combo bumper with the darkened grille looks really good.
 
Thanks for all the comments guys! :D
Ordered some amber LED corner bulbs and they should be coming in soon will post pics when those are up!
 
LED corner bulb

Hey guys heres some pics of the LED bulbs I got for the clear corners.
I decided to go with an amber bulb to match the signals on the OL bumper and it turned out lookin' pretty snazzy(lol).

heres a link to the bulb:

2 V-LEDS AMBER 194 13 LED LIGHT BULBS 158 168 2825

The shipping was good and I placed the order on Friday and it came in this afternoon so it was fairly quick and no problems whatsoever. :D

ya dude your runner is sick i love it! looks way clean will have to meet up sometime, i think im going to order those LED's you have for the clear corners as i will be switching over soon
 
looks good man! isnt it illegal to have any other color in the corner markers besides amber/orange?

Nope I think that's only for the turn signals someone correct me if I'm mistaken please haha.


but Thanks for all the props guys! now to decide on whats next! lol :guitar3:
 
??

My question now is what mod should I save up for next?

Loookin' for something thats not over hmm say $600 total.

Any suggestions just throw em out there haha thanks guys!
 
I would say a good GPS head unit... One that does dirt roads, as well as city.

Or spend it on maintenance type of things...Those suck but keep you going
