Blcktpgsr's '97 transformation

You need to add a scooped hood to that thing.

BLCKTPGSR, awesome mod, and very well done. You continue to make us drool with jealousy.
 
Where did you get your tail lights and how much did they cost?

The clear tails were given to me by my brother who's had them since 99, I honestly don't know where he got 'em from.

Last time I checked though, Burtman Industries carry them in his website.

By the way thanks for the friends request!

Yeah I guess you can say I'm just as passionate about my truck like everyone else is in here. :naughty: But yeah thanks bud!
 


I'm especially proud of this part of the build, mainly because all of the work associated throughout the whole process was done by moi. Welding was something I haven't done in the past and have always wanted to learn. It took a lot of mounting and dismounting the bumper to get it to where it should be, i'm just glad this ones in the books!

I guess that if you are really passionate at what you do and sink your mind into it, you can tackle just about anything no matter how challenging. Haha maybe not for everyone, but this sure puts me to the test.:D

Fortunately, I haven't experienced any casualties aside from a minor finger burn due to some hot metal contact. Only cost to me was the extra spool of welding wire, some can of aerosol, exhaust pipe and a grinding wheel. All less than $50. Ohh, I get so much more in return!

I didn't want to clutter the thread by posting gazilions of pictures, so instead I created a Photobucket account where everyone can access and see the work i put. The pics are in order start to finish. Click on the Photobucket link below..

omg no wonder your brother wants an ARB i mean look at yours its freaking awesome, BTW went to hollister with him hes getting pretty good
 
I heard, he also posted up some pics in his Photobucket account. Man he's got a real real capable machine, he just has to learn the tricks to unleash it.

I'm glad you're assisting him also and I can just tell how appreciative he is of you. I'm jealous of that SVRA you guys have over there but....someday son!
 
absolutely beautiful

Thanks, glad you like it, although it will be awhile before I put anymore mods to the truck( big ones that is).This time I'll prolly focus on the maintenance point of view, starting with the inner TRE's which recently gave out.

Holy cow, so this was your secret little project.. I like it! Now get some action shots!

Yeah that was it, I finished this project a little over two weeks ago. I had been wheeling lightly the last couple days, just haven't been taking shots with the camera.

The truck will be on standby until I can have the inner tie rod done and have it aligned. Hopefully in the next coming weekends I'll be goin' with my wheeling buddies, then I promise some action shots.
 
good gosh i drooled! thats the kinda look i dream about every freaking day!

Yeah, I personally didn't think much of the ARB bumper in the past, I was determined to keep the stock look. But each time I get to see a 3rd Gen around town who sports it.. the more I'm beginning to see why so many loves it., mainly as an armor but more importantly how it looks on the 4runner. Ha how could I be so blind?

Thanks that's a very pleasing compliment!



Those tires are sick!

Loving these tires, i also just recently rotated them, including the spare in the rotation. They're wearing very well for a MT and evenly.

Spare to the RR passenger
RR passenger to FR passenger
FR passenger to RR driver
RR driver to FR driver
FR driver to Spare
 
Lookin good as always man! I saw you kinda hint a few times that you would like a armor bumper....didn't think you'd do it though.....since you kinda had the same idea as I did...(stock...but better).

Looks great man! If I had a black rig, I'd do every mod you did to it!

Just a little perspective for you guys:
