ASA needs to be at 220-245
Guess that wouldent work on ur printer.
Your best choice will probably be PETG then. High heat tolerance than PLA.

Awesome! I think I am going to make a version of links for mine

Good to know, dont think this printer is worth upgrading the hot end so maybe i can give the PETG a try for now. Thanks again

Nice! I know a lot of people dont think you need a front sway but i prefer the road manners with one on the street. Too loose without

Welp back at it, brother in law was in town and wanted to go out and ride a few trails so i needed to get the bike rack on. Forgot that it wouldnt fit with the spare on so temporarily took the spare off but now i need to either extend this rack or figure out another.

No progress on the bike rack but received a fuelpax for xmas(wife doesn’t love the gascan being inside although sealed) and started looking at how i want to mount it.
Dont love it mounted to the spare and would have to build onto the swingout to add it so i would rather hide it where the spare used to be.

Plan is to notch or replace the spare tire crossbeam and make room as well as mounting for the gascan and onboard air tucked up under the backend.

Thought about centered but want the air too so it will probably be rotated 90 and tucked up against the driver framerail. The air tank and comp can go on the other side and be boxed in a little to keep it clean and dry as well as off the exhaust.

One more for the click

Bit the bullet and got the weathertech liners and they do not disappoint.
The fit and finish are pretty damn legit

And one more for the road

These are on the top 3 of my favorite mods :trophy:

Weathertech mats are a game-changer. I have the moulded Husky ones (they were in the truck when I purchased it) and they are not near as good IMO.

Stoked to see how you rig up that jerry can.

I went with the tan color to hide the dirt - turns out the dirt is darker and you can see it anyway. :doh:

Just started reading this thread two days ago, and finally finished. All I got to say is awesome job, you've inspired some ideas for me. I really like the front bumper and skid combo you've got going, and I'm liking the progress with the disconnect sway bars, might have to figure out how I want to do something similar on my rig.

See i got really close to buying the husky mats but cancelled the order and went with Weathertech on a whim. so far so good :noidea:



Need to run to the metal supermarket before diving in but the good thing is that my other car is now here and(after a rigorous rebuild) running great so i can have the runner down as long as this new stuff needs.

Did you get my DM btw?

Glad to hear someone appreciates all my blathering. I liked the skid setup but i think its about time to pull it off and build something new with a winch incorporated... at least thats the plan currently. Getting a bonus for being at my job for 2 years and promised myself that half could go into my cars before the babies take the rest.So im hoping to build out my onboard air and a winch setup plus tires for the other car. :whoo:

Yes! Thanks for the reply, I'll go respond when I'm done typing here. Haven't been on the forum in a bit.

Curious what your daily is?

I should send you some of the prototype renders of our new bumper. Very OEM+ and along the lines of what you seem to like building. I'd love to get your feedback on it!

Sounds good! Just checking, it didnt show up in my sent box so i wanted to make sure.
I’d love to see what you’re working on, might help me get going on mine as well [emoji106]

I usually daily the 4runner but have an e39 540 as well. It stayed in texas with a close friend who needed a car while waiting on his gladiator but with covid the cost to ship it here was super cheap. i brought it here and quickly realized the timing guides were shot so i had to rebuild all the timing and vanos BS which took like 3 months with only working an hour or so at a time. The babies take up majority of the time and the bmw has had the rest for a bit but now im hoping to get back into the 4runner.

Love this thread!

What wheels are you running? Looked back where you got them but didnt see if there was a brand on there, I'd love to find a set of these too! $40 what a steal

Appreciate that!

They are old American Racing AR26, i’ve looked like crazy to find a matching spare but apparently the 16s are more rare than the 15s i can still find here and there. I think Enkei made something almost identical as well.

So I did some looking last night and couldn't find them at all. But I did find these , which are pretty similiar.

I'm doing a "classic" build so these will be great I think, would just have to matte clear or paint them gunmetal(??) them because chrome is gonna look very weird.

You can always just sell me yours =]

haha sorry they aren't for sale unless i find something in a 16 that i like more.
I'd seen those in your link in a non-chrome finish before so they are out there.

I just keep my eye on facebook marketplace and craigslist at all times just in case. Never know when someone is going to just try to get rid of something that is worthless to them and just what you want :jump:
same thing happened with my seats and rock sliders

Got my Course Motorsports phone holder on.

Direct Fit Magnetic Phone Mount - Toyota 4Runner (1996-2002) — CourseMS

Fit wasn’t perfect but i was able to make it work. Not sure if its an early vs late 3rd gen bezel difference or what but it was just a touch short. All sorted and working now. Im used to these bolting in but the doubled sided tape and pressure from the bezel snapping and screwing in seems to hold it pretty tight and firm. The little bushing helps as well.
Install is ridiculously easy if you’ve ever popped your bezel out.

So far i love having the phone in that position but tbd how it does offroad. My phone case was slick but i sanded it a bit to hopefully keep it from slipping off on big bumps.

I know the plate should be lower on the phone but i need wireless charging capability and seemed to lose it when the plate was centered.
With it higher and i have a second on the bottom for my other car, it still charges wirelessly without issue.

Also a wheel update.
I used these stupid grade 8 bolts to replace the rivets thinking they’d hold up but they rusted already this winter. Soooo i threw together a design and 3D printed a shield that will allow me to spray paint each bolt head individually without removing them.

That phone mount is awesome, nice build!

Welp, time for an update. Wasnt planning on it but it happened no less.

So long story long, i was repainting the front end of my bmw and couldnt for the life of me get the clear to layout like i wanted. So i sanded it smooth and had the local maaco(i know) reshoot clear only. I did all prep and removed parts so all they did was wipe, tape and spray. Came out great for 200 bucks and saved the color blend job that i was very happy with. Very few imperfections to wetsand out but the rest of the car needs a polish anyway so its all good.

So i had to drive the 4runner to drop off/pick up the bumper and they had a raptorlined deuce and a half out front which led me to inquire about it for the 4runner. Mostly because it had zero clear coat left on all horizontal surfaces and small patches that were starting to get surface rust. It looked good in pics from a distance but the paint was beat.

Key gouges on both sides that had unmatched green paint, dings all over, missing paint from door edges and terrible, terrible clear coat everywhere.

I didnt love the idea of raptorlining but nothing else really seemed feasible without more work than its worth and after POR15ing the frame i didnt want to have rust on the body.
Talked to companies in the past and they wanted sooo much but this was affordable with colormatch and its close enough to my house that i was able to take everything off myself(like i did with the bmw)

I also had a few minutes the morning i dropped it off to make some blanks to weld into the holes i dont use for the rear wiper, wiper catch, rear emblem and antenna.

You may ask why i didnt change color, mostly because mismatched door jambs and i knew i was getting a maaco job so if they missed anything the correct color would still be around.
That being said, they did a great enough job for this old beater. I didnt want the license plate bezel done but they did it anyway, luckily it hides pretty good behind everything.
There are some uneven patches that he seemed to think would even out but we’ll see. Not terribly concerned as it looked much more rough before.

I have to say all this to reco Maaco as long as you know what you’re getting. If you do prep or at least disassembly yourself, its pretty good

Im still not the biggest fan of raptorliner but its growing on me and its better than my beat ass paint with patches of rust inhibitor spray painted on.

 

[levee-11]

Awesome, I've seen a couple in person, and after watching Austin Nimela on YouTube paint his Toyota Pickup in an army green raptorline, it's grown on me. Looks like it laid out really well on yours, and now it won't scratch nearly as easy, you can be pretty rough with the paint.
