Hey guys!

Here's the Youtube Video I made to document the hood install / paint work done on my 3rd Gen!

$300 for the hood is decent man! I paid almost $900 for mine (but it was new)...

If I could have gotten one for that price... I would have bought it for sure! lol!

The stock hood looks good too man... the clear on mine was starting to peal, and I had a ton of road rash on it... Don't get me wrong... I love my new scooped hood... but the 3rd Gen hoods do look pretty decent without them too.

That moment I was walking into the house... and caught a glance at my 3rd Gen...

:girl:

This was a long time coming... but I finally pulled the trigger on the TBU! My brakes were scary bad... seized... and not really working anymore... :/

Spent a half day today installing these.... much better braking power now!

Old VS New Rotors



I'm very happy I did this... all parts purchased from my local Canadian Tire Autoparts counter.

$2100 ..... I hope that isn't Canadian dollars ($2655 US) ... because DAMNNNNN you could have painted the whole truck down here for that cash.

Your trucks look great. I hope you are doing well. :lookout:

2100 CAD is ~1700USD. You're going the wrong way!

To repaint the whole truck... I was quoted over $7000.00! lol! Maple Syrup dollars..

That sounds like a pretty nice paint job for an off road rig!

Glad to hear it. That would be ridiculous. I used an online calc, backwards it seems.

Sweet ride!

Awesome looking truck!! Love the green. Are you in Sudbury by any chance? I just picked up my first 4runner/first offroad project and want to do some wheeling and meet a few guys that know what they're doing.

I no longer live in Sudbury anymore... But that would have been really cool! I'm in Hearst now...

 

[fightman80]

Sorry for the lack of updates.... but gave the old alloys some polish!



And replaced my rusty rear passenger side bumperette! (no pic! lol)

 

[fightman80]

I love my truck..

 

[ClintR2]

This weekend, Mean Green got some pampering, and got a nice coat of Nufinish, and a quick detail job in the new garage!





I'm roughly 2 weeks away from having a completed garage to work in... so pumped! I'll post pics of the new 3rd Gen's new home, when it's all done.. but here is a sneak peak!

Must be nice to have space...

I'm going to Fort Frances for work for a few months. Still a long way from you though. The runner will stay home though.
