nice truck:thumb:

But a question our 3.0 is slow to begin with, whats it like running on 35's?.

 

[BigBlueGen2]

Not so bad being I had it geared up to 5.29s, installed a FIPK, nicely tuned & lubed, with a custom exhaust job. Plus its an auto so the gearing seems slightly quicker than the 5 speeds IMO. Ben

Your truck looks amazing! The tires look great on the truck. Also, the front is also nice with the skid plate and bars! :rocker:

Thanks for the comps Mark, lots of work to get it where its at not to mention money. Im into it (rig & all) around $15,000.00. Tonight while at work I was offered $13,000.00 by a guy that was in aww he said. Guess we will see what happens but im not to fond of selling. I guess if the price is right. Ben

Finally... I've been waiting to see some descent pics of that bad boy! For so long I was just dealing with the avatar pics but FINALLY something I can see! Great looking truck man, DON"T SELL IT!! I plan on keeping my runner forever. I think i remember seeing somewhere that you don't like to drive slow... in that case... you need to ditch the cobra radar dector and get one of THESE Best money I have ever spent. I got mine new when I was in highschool but you can get them on ebay for a bit cheaper. Then if you really want the best you can alwasy upgrade. Once you have one you will wonder how you lived without it!
Anywho... another drooler... Nice truck!

 

[BigBlueGen2]

Thanks for the comps guys. It means alot coming from other 4runner owners.

 

[Jayded]

I agree with turboale...you shouldn't sell a nice rig like that.

 

[BigBlueGen2]

I agree with you both. But if the price was slightly more than right I would give it thought in the name of a brand new Toy Taco. I just got it back from the sand dune ORV park yesterday. What a blast to play in the sand! I was jumping it after I got warmed up to the idea of driving in the sand. But before I got hardcore into jumping I dropped down a sand hill to fast and slammed into a mound of sand at the base denting in my custom alloy skidplate. So tomorrow I have to get out the BFH and go to work on that. Today was a day to detail & DE-sand the interior. It's fun to wheel with the windows down but sand finds ways to go for the ride.

Well, even though this thread had been dead for 2+ years now, I can't say but that I love you truck! Hope it still alive and running well!

Nice job on the offroad aspect.

Old 4runners rock

Your 4runner could pretty much eat the newer ones for breakfast. Since there seems to be so much focus on new 4runners I started a picture thread called Old 4runners aka "the legacy" so that people can post pictures of their older 4runners.

I'd be horoured if you posted one of your pictures of Big Bad Blue in my thread.

 

[AlphaQup]

I'm glad this thread was brought back from the dead, otherwise new guys like me would've never known about her. Beautifully done up!!

I'm thinking BigBlue probably sold it by now. :nono:
