Haddix's build thread

Sweet be sure to post up some pics when its installed. What else is planned for you?

Im gonna get a valvebody upgrade, and get the rest of my fuel mods for my SCer, debating on bumpers...i just dont go offroading enough to need them.
 
Recent purchases! :)

Well I just ordered 100' of amsteel blue synthetic rope and lightforce 240's w/ the wiring kit! Cant wait to get these in. All in all it was an expensive night lol.
 
The lightforce 240's came in today. There HUGE! Going to get them mounted tonight. Ill edit this later w/ pics.

Edit: Here is a quick pic. Taken w/ phone so crappy pic but you get the idea.

Hey Haddix, can we get some good shots of them tubbed fenders? How come you have your flares off in the front, painting them?

Yeah ill snap some pics tonight. Im awful at remembering to take pics but ill get some tonight. Whenever we tubbed the fenders we had to take the flares off and the clips broke while taking them off. I plan on getting new clips from toyota but haven't gotten around to it. Doesn't bother me to much. I actually kinda like it. I wish I didn't have the limited cladding. Oh well.
 
Well ive been slacking on pics lately so here are a couple pics of some recent mods...

awesome rig. i don't need one so h/d for off-road, but it's super.

i am interested in the arb racks, but didn't know they bolt right to the roof. do they use the attachment point bolt where the factory rack tracks would go? i don't have a factory rack.

thanks
 
The ARB has been changed a little. Took to a machine shop and got them too add on a piece that bolts directly to the stock roof holes.


Edit: 1,000th post
 
Getting ready to order a tranny cooler and am not quite sure what to go with. Wanting to go with b&m and have seen people on here use a couple diff b&m models 70255 and 70268. Whats the diff? Does it matter which to get?
 
I think the 70255 is pushing the small side. I'd get the 70268 (what I got) or the 70264 which is twice the thickness. Just depends on the overall weather of your area.
 
i am proud to be rockin' a former piece of that badass machine. you need to get that thing out here to colorado and beat it up a little. nice work.

Thanks kball. I went with what you suggested and got the 70268. Should be here next week.

Haha thanks man. I wish I could! Between school and work I don't really have anytime to wheel let alone a trip out there. Maybe after i'm finished with school I could make it out there. Id love to visit for about 2 weeks out that way.
 
Well guys I sold the 4runner today. Guy drove down from Baltimore to get it. He plans on taking it on a cross country trip the start of next year. You western guys keep an eye out for it! I'm going to miss this thing. She was one hell of a rig. Just wanted to say my goodbyes. This has been a great forum with lots of cool guys on here. Im sure ill be checking back in here from time to time. Ill update this thread with my new ride..
