That's alot of missing pictures... Sad day for those who didn't get a chance to go through this thread. It's like a page torn out of the history books... Flickr is a good option for image hosting as well.

Photobucket wants $400 (!) to unlock my photos and account. The amount of work it would take to restore this threads pictures is, well...unimaginable.
Unless someone knows something I don't- it's F'D up and it's gonna stay that way. FML
Shit's been going downhill for me lately in all sorts of ways- haven't been on here much because of it. I'll check in when I can. Sorry.

Only been here a very short while, but I'm sensing a gofundme in the works... I'd definitely be a contributor, so much knowledge sharing and documentation at stake - it's akin to a legacy.

Someone close to this man create a gofundme account! I know for a fact many will donate if that means getting back the pictures. The inspiration and wealth of knowledge you have shared with other members is priceless. I've said it before, you sir are a mad scientist. MacuGyver of mods!

Jeff should be the one to start the gofundme thingy.
It would be nice if it was not needed but I'll match up to $ 200 of donations so you losers just need to come up with the other $ 200.
Damn near EVERYONE on this forum have greatly benefited from his threads / posts so lets get this damn thing done!

Ok guys.... I used youcaring for the fundraiser instead of gofundme because they take 5% off the top of every donation (edit- apparently they all do this). I will manage the funds and get them to Jeff. Here's the link to the thread....

Hello Jeff,
Found your thread through the new "Save Antman's Photos" thread. Thank you for all of your guides and resources through the year.
My question to you is what sort of "maintenance" have you done to your truck in hopes of making it to 200k+ miles? I recently picked up a 2011 TE with 70k on it and drive about 30k miles/year. I am hoping to make it to at least 150k without major issues. Anything you'd recommend OTHER than basics (spark plugs@120k, suspension, tires, oil, fluids, etc?)

So I will go ahead and say what most us already know. We have all been the victim of an extremely well-planned long con. Antman's thread is never coming back. This has all been part of a 6 year scheme to raise money from this forum and then disappear into thin air. Allow me to elaborate as I have seen this con many times before:
Step 1 - develop expert level knowledge of car modifications (4,000 - 5,000 hours)
Step 2 - purchase 4Runner and create identity on forum ($45,000, 30 hours)
Step 3 - establish trust and build relationships with forum members (200 hours)
Step 4 - modify and meticulously document improvements to 4Runner ($10,000, 150 hours)
Step 5 - fake problem with photo hosting site and get members to front money to restore the pictures
Step 5 - "the big payoff"...receive funds and leave the country until the heat dies down
The details change but most of this is pretty textbook. Antman is probably not even his real name. Antman is no doubt half way around the world right now living the good life off of his $400 score. Probably hatching his next scheme involving a late model Landcruiser. Well played Antman...well played.
