So, long overdue. Easter is over and yes the runner arrived safe and sound. I will post some pics later, but just to let you know I do have some idea's in mind for her. On the top of my list is to build a custom bumper and swing gate tire carrier. The T4R arrived Thursday before Easter and I drove her to Texas for the weekend. Had a new spare mounted and rotated and balanced the tires....noticed some grease leaking around the rear back plate, T4R's and their rear axle seal problems:wtf: Anyway, didn't have the time to do the job, nor the know how......but after 1177.00, i'll learn and find the time. Some of you are probably wondering, who is this dude and what is he talking about...well I bought the rig from MillerPKA out in North Carolina...and it has been moved to it's new home in New Mexico. Hope she hasn't minded the blowing dirt too much.

Holy crappy! what nice rig you have.
Haha what else are you going to add to the build?
 
That is a great looking truck, and will be great to see what else you do to it! Enjoy man, and welcome to the club!

Lets see some pics with those beautiful Sandias at sunrise/sunset in the backdrop!:frog:

Glad to see you made a thread, did you get the invite to the NM group?
 
Cool man, glad to see this rig hasnt dissapeared into the dark abyss of what is craigslist. Cant wait to see what other plans you have in store for the already sick runner.
 
Great buy! I was reading the list of mods and thinking I recognized that list then the picture came and I did recognized the 4Runner. Enjoy your new toy. Remember, there is always room to improve and make it yours.
 
Well, I finally got around to taking some pictures of the T4R. It has been blowing dirt around here pretty bad lately, so she got a much needed bath. Haven't had a chance to take her up to the mountains yet and get her good a dirt. Maybe tomorrow.

beautiful truck man.. where did you get the sun roof visor on the rack? i wanna get one like that for my rack..
 
That's a Gobi rack. They are like $1300, but damn they look so badass.

For you, you could get a fairing from yakima and retrofit it onto your custom rack.
 
Oh man that thing is so nice! I love the new Camaro!

I guess the 4runner is OK..

:jump:

Thanks Ripcord, If you came to my house, you would think that I am having some kind of mid-life crisis or something.:guitar3: Yeah, the 2011 Camaro's are awesome.....got tired of seeing other people drive them so I went and traded my truck for one just before Christmas. Some evening when I have them both out and all cleaned up, Ill have to take a pic with the both of them :D. The 4runner is running great, had to get the rear axle seals and bearing replaced, but she's rockin' again. I remember an invite a few weeks back, to meet up with the local club. We will definitely have to get together.
 
Sounds good man. That won't be until after may though. Too many people have too much going on right now.

I look forward to it though.

Exactly Ripcord, I love this rack. I already have plans for a mod for it though. Right above the sun roof there is a large space that I think I can make use of with some 1 inch conduit and expanded metal. The space is open and I can get a little extra space with the mod and still have use of the sun roof. I have already shaped the conduit so that it will fit over and wrap around one of the cross members on the rack. I also have plans for a tire carrier, based on one that I saw on Addicted Offroad's website.
