Hawaii Runner Build Thread

[Mr. B]

Did a wiring job for a friend, and in return got paid in gum. Ha! Just kidding, he gave me free spidertrax wheel spacers!

I tried them on and......


Issues...

Good thing it was for free, and good thing it happened now, cause 35s are planned as soon as these 33's wear out.

On a side not, probably gonna order my limiting straps either this or next week. I believe [MENTION=67615]Dirtco[/MENTION] had measurements of 10" for them, so I'm gonna double check on the list of parts to buy, double check measurements, and go for it.

Rig looks great! Love the way the rear bumper looks on their as well. Also dig the wheels. They look very similar to the wheels I had on my old Taco. Gives me a good idea what they would have looked like on my Runner.

Well, under a little liquid courage, I decided to pull the trigger on ordering my matching spare tire rim. I should've actually spent the money on front limiting straps, especially since Ulua fishing season is about to start, and I'll actually be using the 4runner almost every weekend then...but ah, oh well, LOL!

And I decided to stick with IFS and build the heck out of the front end. I told myself, that day I'm ready for SAS, is the day I dont give a hoopblah about body damage.

:cheers:

Amazing how a little trim changes the entire look of the front end..

So true, subtle change goes a long ways, plus it don't cost oku'u

Aloha for now ..... 8sm

A few things have changed since the last update...I've been really busy with trying to get a career moving for me since I graduated this past fall. However, I still found time to get things done.

List of updates:
- Chopped and rewelded sliders to address the rubbing issue (pics posted above and kept the wheel spacers)
- CV boot slide mod (I'm thinking about doing a writeup...possibly tonight)
- Matching rear rim
- New Fierce Attitude M/T for spare
- Just picked up Tundra Calipers for 80 bucks (have yet to install)
- Manual locking hubs (still debating to install or not...I may just sell it and buy limiting straps..)
- New upper ball joints (both sides) and Drive inner TRE

Also, finally went camping this past weekend. Havent gone since November! It was a good way to get away and just, relax. Had my GoPro attached to the side so I'm working on the video now since I'm off tomorrow. Pics and video will be up later.

BTW, anyone know if I could change the title of this thread? After really thinking about it, I don't think its appropriate to call it a build thread since I'm not doing anything quite severe....maybe, Expedition thread?

Stay tuned, going thru pics and video now.

Transferring the last post of page 2 to here, so its easier to read and follow what happened.

You mean yesterday? Lol! I drove in on Friday and left Kona yesterday.
However, I was in Kona last weekend too with the runner. Had to take couple exams and stuff.

Little update:

Did a Satoshi mod to my grille, witha little twist. Pics on that later tho opcorn:

Also, found my ol' digital camera and decided to try and see if I can get good pics of the light output of the FXRs and nonsense associated with it. (I tried my best...)

If the weather is good tomorrow, I'll snap a few of the truck with its new grille and yada yada.

Onto the pics!!

 

[Mr. B]
