DOWNPOUR11's Build Thread

[downpour11]

Dang man this thing turned out super slick. What a transformation. I look forward to seeing it when I move back to chico after the service. It's cool to see Josh's FJ on there too. I know little buddy and Matt and all them from way back in the day. Got any updates pics or progress? Josh and I were just talking about that transfercase combo in mine when I actually build it

And yes, it is FINALLY driving. Yet i still don't have it back yet. Still needs console welded up and a rear sway bar.....very very bad.

It sits a little too high right now, i need to do what chris did to that red demon of a tacoma I sold him (which is burnt into the ground now and wont harm anyone ever again) and clock the ac pulley up and get a shorter belt so i can lower the front and inch. Rear is coming down 2" as well. Should be around 27" frame height on 42's which is fine with me.

Can't use my smog guy in Paradise anymore...for obvious reasons lol but i got that covered already. It passes fine, you just gotta find a smog shop who hires blind people

Yeah I'm Jake's brother. His rig burned along with everything else, but hes looking into a 3rd gen for his next rig. I'll be out in December of this year. Was that the bbq with the chili cookoff? I think I remember that. We have a younger brother too idk if you have met him. My 4runner is good though, it's actually up here with me in Alaska. It's hard to think I've been gone for 6 years lol. I'm ready to get back to California wheelin.

Home!
Got a big list of small things to do but it drives great.

Also to give you guys an idea, that quad cab taco in the background has a 3" toytec spacer up font and is on 32's.

I thought it would make me happy when I bought it but this thing is a demon. I sold it to one of my best friends.

I'm just revisiting this thread and this excerpt made me laugh. Some friend you are, lol.

Hahaha yeah well he's a mechanic and i sold it to him for $4k, I bought it for $6500, put $3k into it. I lost almost $6k on that truck. Then it burned in the Paradise fire in November, then we hi-fived.

Hey man, it’s been a while since this thread was active lol. How has everything been? Did you get this all wrapped up? I’m sure you heard Jake got his all built up and we broke it at its MCR debut last year. Grant built him a new tie rod and relocated his ram. Now Jake is wrapping up stabbing an atlas and black box in it. He is talking about lowering it too. What’s new with yours? Any new pics?
