Brian757's "Stormtrooper" Build Thread

[Brian757]

I also took it offroad for a bit. This was backwoods in some mud trap. It was down a stormdrain back into city property. It was basically a loophole around the other entrances that had "DO NOT ENTER" & "No Trespassing" posted everywhere. I had a lot of fun. I pulled out and a cop was driving right by, I had mud ALL over me. He didn't even stop, just drove right on by.

Your truck looks sick man! I'm really digging the wheel and tire combo! Great work!

Thank you very much! I tried to get a rim that would pull my truck together. I figured with the black windows and accessories on my truck, the black would work, and also the chrome from my bumpers.

Great looking rig. Always love the way that new rubber can totally change the feel of it.

Nice truck but when I saw Stormtrooper in the title I thought you were going for the stormtrooper look which would look great with what you gto but you need to get rid of all the chrome and paint your bumpers body color plus the chrome on the rims painted white would be quite unique.

So today I decided to spray my undercarriage. I went with Dupli Color Bed Armor.

These are some shots...
I toweled off the areas I didnt want black, obviously...

After shots:

I was in my girlfriends car following my girlfriend driving the runner.

Another updated picture.

 

[fightman80]

Nice pics!

 

[Brian757]

Thank you everyone for the nice comments.
I think I am mainly just trying to keep up with all of you!

So I hope I am doing this right but I saw a thread recently on how to measure everyones lift height differences.
So here is mine. I believe you measure from the center of the hub to the top of your wheel well? Please correct me if I am wrong and I will remeasure it.
BUT, here is my attempt.

I believe I am around 26.5" to 27" in the front; I am around 27 3/4 to 28" in the rear.

So here is my front end. (Im kind of on a front end slant as well. But somewhat small)

Here is the rear end. I dont know why I didn't move the gatorade. Although I don't think it hinders my results

I also took a picture of my tweeters to show you guys. I will have to take some pics of my headers and magnaflow...
These tweeters make my ears hum when I get out.. their loud.

Another day workin on the runner...

 

[Brian757]

The heat is hard on my dash and my tint buddy mentioned tinting my windshield above the AS1 line. So here it is all done. Just making minor mods at this time :/

 

[Brian757]

Also, at work i saw 3 trucks backed in. Cant see the Mitsubishi Raider on the other side of the Dodge. Just a height reference between them.

With some school/work friends at Chesapeake Lanes.

And my sisters boyfriends '00 Nissan Xterra. I would like to mention Ive worked more on his car than he has. I like Jap cars!

[JadatheRottweiler]

[JWaldz]

Just read through your thread. Nice truck man, really looks good.

So what's the story on the license plate?

 

[Brian757]

@wrestler157: You don't happen to go to ODU do you? I see this white 4th gen 4runner ALL THE TIME at ODU and it has a T4R.ORG sticker on it.

@JadatheRottweiler: Haha! I was young and reckless...With a can of red spray paint
I bedlined the whole underbelly and that got painted (Intentionally of course)
And thank you!

@ARKRWLR: Thank you very much! That means a lot. I used to hang out with a lot of ricer friends and they all had vanity plates. Some had, "Im Slow" "BR8KN NEX" and "DUM SLO". I had the exhaust, sound system, and the plan to install a HornBlasters horn. Once I got the sound system going, someone at a car show said, "Your quiet." I think he was being mean but I thought it was hilarious. Then I got the plate. To this day, I see people in my side mirror reading my plate at stop lights and then looking puzzled as hell. Some people pull up next to me with their finger over their mouth. They have no clue but I get a kick out of making people use their brain

 

[JWaldz]

haha nice.. People's vanity plates crack me up. I have one, but It didn't turn out as well as I thought it would. Thinking of changing it to SKNYPDL or I8AJEEP lol
