The roof rack is a rage black widow. Or at least thats what it looks like. I bought it off of my girlfriend's friend and she didnt know anything about it. Lol and now obs makes sense. That is my mom's she was irritated i was taking up the driveway. But out back sport sounds more suitible its a fun little car since its a manual but it has no torque

Here is a pic compared to my blazer (or whats left of it) blazer has a 2" lift missing most of the 31's. I have about 2" more ground clearance on the 4runner.
Never thought I'd have a stiffer ride than the blazer but I think with the heavy duty springs I got its more stiff than my blazer, I don't mind it thou its a huge improvement over the 2 broken shocks in the back. I've probably driven close to 100 miles with the lift and I'm satisfied. It'll prove itself tomorrow when I venture to Baltimore for the day.
yes there is another subaru hiding back there thats my grandpa's I call it the rock since its soooo slow and power steering isn't up to par and its so low to the ground

I went to rausch creek today. I went with a guy who had a blazer, alls I can say is I had no trouble with blue trails, he had a hard time getting through some of it and he even had the better tires. Its so depressing seeing only two wheels spin when its in 4wd. I didn't get stuck or hardly spin any tires (only a few times). I almost flipped it.... and scraped my quarter pannel a little and busted the rest of my plastic valance off. Only mechanical break I found was a ripped cv boot. I am extremely satisfied at how well my 4runner performed off road. Can't wait to get some good 285 mud tires. I'll post some vids and pics might take a while my internet is really slow
the fire pit is scary... haha

yea I need bigger tires, rock sliders, and front and rear bumpers I should be good then. I really miss having mud tires. I really can't stand two tone colors unless its the same color only darker. And silver and white just doesn't really go good together

Wow I guess I haven't updated for a while....
not too much has changed other than I got a set of cheap 285's, ditched the stock rear bumper and lost one of my plastic rockers. Also got a pioneer app radio today, still trying some of the apps.
here is a pic with one 285 on the rear compared to the 265/70
and one of my app radio
As for a rear bumper I'm probably going to go with the cbi hybrid bumper, and I'll be getting replacement tires soon too uniroyal liberators are terrible... If I still have money left over I will probably pick up sliders and either a savage or addicted front bumper still now sure yet... and my front bumper hasn't fallen off yet so...

the lug centric wheels were driving me nuts. So i found a good deal on craigslist for some 4th gen wheels. Didn't really want to go with 17's but I think they look awesome. Of course the stock wheels sat way to deep in the fender flares so I had to get some wheel spacers. Having no rear bumper was driving me crazy too so I decided to put the stock ones back on and fix the rust holes with some metal tape until I decide to get an aftermarket bumper. My next thing to get is 285/70/17's which I should have ordered by the end of the week. My wheel wells are feeling pretty empty.
Never really posted a lot of pictures of my truck and its not completely ugly right now so enjoy. Also anyone know where to find a fender flare to replace my missing piece? I've been looking on the web with not very good luck.
