ComradeVlad's TRDPro Build & Adventures

[ComradeVlad]

Well hello my fellow 4Runner owners and builders,

I have finally come around and decided to finally make my build and adventure thread a reality and share my experiences with anyone who cares to see them. Don't worry my intro will be short and to the point.

A little background about myself, names Vladislav (Vlad for short), I am 22 years old, live in the scorching desert of Las Vegas, NV. I am currently employed by the Palazzo Hotel and Casino, have just hit my year. Before the Palazzo, I was a General Manager at Las Vegas Premier Paintball Facility and yeah...

This is my First 4Runner, that I have purchased solely by myself, no help from the parental units. I do also have a 02' 4Runner that was my initial FIRST 4Runner, given to me by my father. Mom is currently driving that it has seen better days, I have to really put some serious work into it, Mom is really attached to it and doesn't know how to let go.

Well on to the vehicles:

Way to use your PRO, you have a better idea of how it works and handles, nice pics. I like the blackout across the top.

Thanks! I have done a little jump with it, I plan on trying a bigger jump to see how it handles it.

Love the stance of your pro! I can't wait for mine to come in. Do you have any rubbing at all with the Toytec 1" spacer and SpiderTrax 1.25 wheel spacer setup?

Hood and roof wrap looks awesome!

I do have slight rubbing on the front inner corners of the bumper, but nothing a Dremel couldn't fix.

Careful how far you take this.........

Thanks for looking out Engineer, I will slowly be progressing and updating as I go.

Nicely done! Great pics and mods.

Thanks Mistaken! Kind words always appreciated.

I have a new super white TRD I'm digging the black hood, how is the wrap holding up ? Is it matte or flat black
