ok.. i have a few things to say (dont get over excited they are all good)
i never thought a smooth, slick, city car such as a 4th gen 4Runner would look as good as your badass truck!
but there would be a few things i would add.
i would also like to know what else are u planing to add?
1.just as me i would put the mud guards back on to protect the body.
2. get some floor mats and some seat covers! keep the interior looking nice for better resale value.
3. get a vent visor and windshild protector, vent visors are really nice to have and will look great with the window thingy.
4.just to throw this in, what about smoken the head and tail lights?/ projectors anyone?
5. other wise i would have to give u the kick ass truck award!
ps. you are my new computer background (well your truck is)

Hahaha!! 
Mud flaps didnt fit with tire size after the first tire upsize, I cut the rear one so that it cover the hole left where you remove it but thats it. Also, with the fiberglass front fenders there is no mounting points anymore. And, I am not worried aobut them at all.
Got all weather floor mats, seat covers not worried about either. Just a matter of time before all seats are replaced with some mastercraft 5 point race seats.
Vent visors and windshield protector, not practical on a desert pre runner, just something to break and I do not like the look of them personally.
hahahhahah, smoken the headlights and tailights. thats a good one :bigok: dont take offense, but what for?
Projetors do need to go in though, on 05 the turn signals are in the bumper not the headlights, so with adding my prerunner bumper, I have to switch to 06 headlights which are projectors and have the turn signals integrated with them. And will also add HID in the projectors.
Thank you for the compliments, it is appreciated. And I am not knockin ya if ya like the things you mentioned. Just not for me.
Oh, and resale value. That is not something I am worried about. I plan to never sell this truck.
It is not my daily driver anymore, in fact I have only driven for about two weeks since August.
Right now it is in a shop getting prototyped for Long Travel Suspenion on the front end for Allied Motorsports. They are also making the bumper and we are doing a Long Travel leaf spring under conversion for the rear axle. When the build is finished, I will post up pics.
And JOSH, Im in santa margarita.

As far as I know you can only do a spacer lift on top of the sturt cap with Xreas. Other wise you gotta ditch em.
And as far as how much the LT costs, alot less than it would if I was just buying stock LT stuff. I am getting a price break for being the guinea pig on the front LT. But the back and bumper and shocks adds up.
So in answer to the question of how much, ALOT!!
It hurts the pocket for a while, but I will recover

this gallery has pretty much become my list, it has changed and evolved that it got to be a novel at the end of my sig, so I deleted it and put what is there now.
When I am done with my current stage of build, I will post full details of everything and what its got. But doing a list now would be pointless as over the next 4-5 months it is constantly evolving and changing.
stay tuned :bigok:

any new progress on the truck? also maybe i missed it but is there anything special happening in the rear? is it going to be getting any more of a lift?
also being that i have a 2wd also, i am curious whether or not you know of any dropped spindles for the front that would give me an extra inch or 2? looking to give a little more than what coilovers etc offer.
not looking at LT setups or anything just a bit more clearance up front as im still rubbing on my 295/70/17 without spacers on the body mount. any suggestions in that department?
