bugeye1257's Build Thread: 2005 4runner Sport

[bugeye1257]

Well, I think it has come time to start a build thread here. I have been lurking this forum for a while and I thought, why not and share my T4R? I have had it for about 3 years now and have finally started to modify it lately, very surprising as I work for a Aftermarket Performance Whole Sale Distributor (Turn 14) and am surrounded by the scene 24/7. This thread is to capture my adventures with the 4Runner and log my modifications. Hope you enjoy!

They are great over there! I had them do the alignment after about a week with the lift on and it is perfect. There shop is outstanding and they have everything you need. I will be back there soon.

Now I just need to take off my stock foot steps and find some sliders. I also have to push my fenders forward as there is some rubbing.

Is your screen name hinting at a Subaru past?
Also what did you think initially of the Generals?
Great looking rig and start. Great color too :thumb:

It is! I had an 02 mbp w/ a built ej207 ect...

The grabbers were nice, they lasted LONG and were pretty good. Ive always had them in the past since they were pretty cheap. I made the change to the duratracs because I wanted to try something new and everyone seemed to love them. I have yet to really test them in sand and mud but they do grip better in rain, snow and gravel. A little louder on the road then the grabbers but the duratracs are more aggressive. All in all I love them so far!

Nice pics of the subi? I had an 05 stg 2 STi fully customized.
Great news about the grabbers we shall see how they perform. Good luck with the build!

Nice. Love the black on bronze. I actually used a little of the subi world with my color scheme on the 4runner and love the look of blue on bronze. What were you getting for mileage on the built motor?

 

[bugeye1257]

Nice, that looks great!

Not to sure, im sure it wasnt all to to great. Maybe around 17-18mpg.

I think the next purchase for the 4runner is a Prinsudesign roof rack and some sliders

 

[bugeye1257]

Nothing to new here, but I thought id share a iphone picture.

Pushed my liners in but still have to trim the front bumper. Rubs on the body when in reverse so a BMC will have to be done. Running boards will be coming off tomorrow.

Just some new images. Now without the running boards (Much better!).
Not too much new, just waiting on some 06+ headlights to come in!

Small adventure over the weekend. Nothing crazy, just some local roads.
