pictures 1,2, and 3 are pictures of her as she sits right now



picture 4 - that's me as a kid back in 94 when my dad first bought the truck from the dealership

picure 5 - unforunately theres a gap in time where some not to fortunate things happened (including a tree falling on the front clipping off the the bumper but my dad replaced it with an arb so who's complaining?) it got a pretty bad texas sunburn and most of the paint had oxidized. this picture is from right after putting new 31" falken rocky mountains on it

picture 6 - took her mudding for *my* first time, believe me, not the 1st time the truck has seen a little dirt. (also if you couldnt already tell, im kinda "freak of nature" big hahaha)

picture 7 - shiny new maaco paintjob, looking like new, from the running boards to the roof racks (and i took off the ugly fender trim as well)

picture 8 - new fj springs in the rear to level out that horrible ass - end sag that it seems like all t4r owners deal with

picture 1 - i got mirraged by what i thought was a small puddle but turned out to be a 3 ft hole

picture 2 - just another picture of the paint job, aint it pretty?

picture 3 - bushwackers (a christmas present to myself)

picture 4 - putting my aux lights to good use, im the middle set of lights

picture 5 - horrible quality picture, but me, my girlfriend and her friends having a fire down by the lake

picture 6 - catch of the night, this bad boy was 25 inches and 10.5 lbs

picture 7 - my wingwoman and best friend, my 3 y/o boxer named kallie who just loves going on car trips

picture 8 - my project from this past weekend, put 1 12 in sub and 2 6x9 speakers in the trunk and secured them with some bungee cords and rope. some have already called it "jerry-rigged" or "ghetto" i like to call it "elgantly simple"

Looks nice. Any plans for the future?

 

[Robmills72]

Gonna put a little bit bigger tires on it, roof rack and lights, as well as an led bar on the bumper, I want to regear and put lockers in but price wise that's a completely different ballpark

Camping on the beach and fishing is one of my favorite things... Cool pics.

Picked up a smittybilt xrc 8 8k lb winch the other day from my local 4wheel parts, I'll post pics once it goes up in my bumper

Those Bushwackers look good on your Runner. Those things are pretty pricy at $300+ for the set. Nice paint job too.

whered u find that bumper? id love on for my 94'

 

[Robmills72]

Winch is finally in! And thanks guys! As far as the bumper I couldn't tell you, a tree clipped the factory bumper about 12 years ago and I've had the arb ever since

They have that bumper on Amazon for $922.00.

 

[Robmills72]

Yes but I got mine directly from arb, whether they still make them or not, I'm not sure

New shoes

Nice upgrade on the tires--BFG's are awesome! Looks like you've got a great start on your rig--looks good!

 

[Robmills72]

Just an updated picture of the truck. New BFG mud tires, procomp crawler rims, an actually decent picture of the winch on, and my new kc lights. I got pretty sold on a locker this weekend at lonestar toyota jamboree, seeing as how rigs with street tires and lockers were making it everywhere I was.

Upcoming mods: cb, roof rack with lights, tactical armor group rear bumper, Detroit locker, and more!

What, no talk about a CV change in the field?

Trucks looks great BTW! Let's go wheeling again sometime!

 

[Robmills72]

And I twisted a cv shaft at jambo.... But the great guys there helped me get it all squared away and back up and running, big thanks to brokenwrench and all you guys.
