Ok, so you just keep extra coax cable in the back?

Yes I do. The wire runs in through the blind spot mirrors in the trunk to keep them hidden. I will try to take some more pictures and post them on here.

Hey Joe,

Call me.

Done, call me back. Sorry, crazy night last night so I didn't get a chance to call you back.

I love that blue on the 4Runner... my favorite color. It's looking great so far. Here's my question... how do you like your Coopers? I'm debating about getting a set of Cooper Discoverer ATP's in the 285 flavor this fall. Yours look like the ATS and not sure how much difference there is with them.

Yes I love my AT3's! They are a great tire! They have been perfect for a tire that is 90% on road and 10% off road. They have also never let me get stuck! (or even close to it in any terrain) The only thing these tires have not seen is snow so I can not tell you about their snow performance. Everything else is great though!

Just did a little "mod" today. I got a sweet deal from Jason (sgtbookie) and upgraded the front stock all weather mats for a set of husky all weather mats.

Also added them in the back! (I had nothing there before)

truck looks great. Glad you posted a picture of the plastidipped grill as I have the same color and was debating what it would look like. Nice Rig

I just got three boxes containing front and rear 5100 shocks, OME 885 front coils, toytec superflex rear coils, 2 sets of spidertrax 1.25 wheel spacers, and a set of LR UCA's. Needless to say I am extremely excited to instal these. I also have a satoshi grille that gaterose (Matt) made for me sitting in the trunk of my car waiting to be installed. I am in desperate need of an instillation day!

This wait may kill me, but I am SO excited! :banana: :bluejump:

That's awesome! I need to hurry up and order my LR UCA's. My factory ones are squeaking like crazy!

Not yet! :redbrick:

I am so ready to get them installed though! It should be sometime within the next month. This could possibly be the worst wait of my life! It hurts looking at these three boxes in my dorm room knowing how good my 4runner will look after instillation!

 

[millertime]

Update; Satoshi

After having a satoshi grille waiting be installed for a month I finally got the access to tools and got it put on! I was on fall break (i am a college student) this weekend and had paint and tools to use while home. I ended up using plasti-dip on the chrome and regular spray paint on the TOYOTA emblem. I am satisfied with the results but could of course done better. I am interested to see how the spray paint holds up. Any ways, enough talking and onto the pictures!

started out taping the grill off like this.

I then spray painted / plasti-dipped it.

When taking the tape off a I noticed the TOYOTA eblem didn't end perfect (oh well) but I am overall happy with it. It gives the look and effect I wanted. I will get some better pictures but this is all I have for now!

HUGE thanks to Gaterose for making the grille! I am very happy with it! Let me know what yall think! Thanks! - Joe

 

[Mytoy4]

Looks good! Love the look of the Satoshi

 

[gaterose]

Looks good! Glad you're happy with it!

 

[momo.75]

What'd you go with?!

Sounds awesome! What made you chose 884 over 885?

 

[momo.75]

I just wanted to try a softer spring. If they are too soft i can always sell'em and get some 885's

 

[jbmccul]

Grille looks like crap, but I guess I can take it off your hands.

Lifted!

The lift is finally installed and I couldn't be happier! I installed OME 885's in the front. Toytec superflex in the rear. 5100's all the way around. Spider-traxx wheel spacers. And Light Racing UCA's. So enough talking. Time for the pics!

I went over to Gaterose's house to get it installed. Here are some pics of the process.

This piece right here was a pain in the rear end...

Here is all the boxes and a few random old parts.

Here it is with only the front installed.

AND AFTER!!!

A Before / After pic.

Thanks for looking! Let me know what you think!
