Gunner's Build Thread

[Gunner's 4runner]

2001 Limited, Thundercloud

The day I brought it home, October 2011

Installed new stereo, I had so much of the interior out I figured it would be a good time to take the carpet out and give it a good cleaning.

JVC KW-HDR720
Front doors - Kicker components KS 6502
Back doors - Kicker KS 400
2 - 12" Kicker L7's
Pioneer 600 Watt 4 channel Amp
Rockford Fosgate T-1500 Watt on Subs

I wasn't sure if I would need a capacitor so I didn't spend alot of time making the wires neat at the amps.

How did you mount the Hellas? Are the screwed into the bumper or did you rig up a mount that goes through the grill?

I drilled through the bumper and mounted that way. The only thing about going through the plastic on top of the bumper is I couldn't tighten it down real tight without crushing the plastic down. I've thought about cutting the plastic so the bracket will go through and sit on top of the steel bumper. I also ran the wire through the bumper instead of running it through the grille. I will post some close up pics of it

I used this spacer lift, mine was 3" / 2-1/2" I didn't see that one listed? Closest one I seen was 3"/2"

That looks really clean. Are they pretty stable there?

Thank you.
It's stable while driving, they don't shake or nothing. But when taking covers off sometimes they will move a little bit.

That thing is CLEAN!!!! I got to see it in person the other day, pictures don't do it justice!
