JWaldz '99 Adventure Build - Dual Locked | Geared | Mid-Travel | 35s | Armored

Not much up an update but my blue and red vinyl tint came in a couple days ago and I got around to fixing up my switches.. Now with color :thumb3: This is a great solution to those that have the new Contura V rockers with incandescent lit switches.

I've got some maintenance due ahead of me.. My transfer case is lightly leaking past the output shaft seal. I need to replace my steering rack, it's officially done for. Lastly, I need to spend a generous amount of time with the rear axle by cleaning up the hub assemblies and replacing the seals. Eventually I'll get the replacement part for the Icon UCA's so I can install them but I'm in no rush. I need to get these issues fixed first.

Thanks for posting that thread [MENTION=58830]JWaldz[/MENTION]! [MENTION=90485]URBAN ASSAULT[/MENTION] just so you know, we (some of the guys here) still haven't confirmed the blue working for anyone. I've tried a few different ones that I had left and couldn't see it through the tinted plastic piece. Some of them came out at night but it was still faint. So unless you can find a way to disable the clock dimming when you turn your lights on, then it's gonna be hit or miss with the blue.
 
happy birthday old guy:party:

ahhhh happy bday... 27 or 28. You know that's almost 30 right?

Thanks guys! 27, getting close to the 30 mark!

IDK how i missed this but those are sharp! Any idea what the specs are?

I know my local dealership got a batch of 2014's in.. A couple of my buddies are techs up there and one sent me pictures of them on the trailer just to tease me. I never got a chance to get down there and look at them though. They're definitely 17's prob 17x9's. Don't know anything other than that.

They weren't chrome in the actual wheel picture, so I don't know why they look chrome shopped on my 4runner.

This is one of my favorite builds on the forum. Very nice truck, something about the ARB Bumper with the big tires. Can't wait for my ARB and 33's (I'm not brave enough for 35's haha).



You've definitely captured what my 4Runner wants to be when it grows up. :hail:

That means a lot.. Thank you very much!!

A little late but happy birthday youngin. 4runner is looking great these days. :heh::clap2:

haha.. 'youngin'. You're so generous! Thanks!

not. cool.

:lol:

I know right, so harsh! :D



I went out to a new club that it's grand opening was lastnight. Needless to say I'm thankful I took today off lol.
 
Little Update..

After seeing [MENTION=56044]downpour11[/MENTION] roof mounted light bar I got with him on a lower more forward design I had in mind. Allowing to keep the light bar nice and low as well as pushing it more forward where the body meets the top of the windshield. After a little work it seems we have found the perfect mount for a sleek design.

Original mock up.. mount has been lowered even more now (notice the previous design higher on the roof)

Brackets welded

With that said, I ordered my 40" 3w cree double row light bar (for $250 I might add!) a few minutes ago and hopefully will have everything mounted up some time next week. Stay tuned!
 
The first pic makes it look a little high (hard to take the pic lol), but the lightbar should be very flush with the windshield. I'm eager to see how his bar mounts up. It should be nice and close. Super stealth mode lol.
