List of 3rd Gen Builds with the most DIY help/advice

[BrianSD_42]

I figured it would be a good idea to make a thread listing the third gen builds that have a strong amount of DIY repair/maintenance/fabrication/build guides and advice.

There are a lot of third gen build/adventure threads and there already is a consolidated list.

I'm suggesting you all nominate someone below if their thread REALLY stands out from a How to / DIY / Fabrication / Help / Maintenance type of build.

I'll give the first example [MENTION=44220]BigFishAllDay[/MENTION] 's thread (there are many others but I don't know them all and I want the forum to nominate them) is one of the threads on this forum that really stands out because he filled his main build thread with written guides for most mods, even going so far as to post the part numbers, prices, pictures and diagrams of the many individual mods.

If you agree this thread is a good idea then nominate someone below. There is no set standard. Please use good judgement. Simply being a cool build thread which adventure pictures isn't enough, it should be someone who has posted great stuff matching the criteria above in bold. That information is gold and should be shared.

Please post a direct link if you have it. I'll edit in the formal list once it solidifies.

[MENTION=57546]4-Ripcord[/MENTION] and [MENTION=67615]Dirtco[/MENTION] are the top spots imo when it comes to build threads

 

[MN4runnerman]

[MENTION=118890]T4Tools[/MENTION] because his fab skills are unbelievable

 

[4-Ripcord]

Bigfish has the best DIY thread. I think Dirtco has the best/most inspirational Fabrication thread with [MENTION=46329]blcktpgsr[/MENTION] at close 2nd.

[MENTION=116467]Rock_Rat[/MENTION] [MENTION=123173]Jhelms[/MENTION]

In addition to the one's already mentioned these two are great. My build thread is just a mess of pictures and me rambling about my truck...

Patio Burrito is one that has impressed me in my short time here. I'll be copying his suspension and sleep platform/drawers.

I find myself in [MENTION=25058]ChildrenOfBodom[/MENTION]'s a lot with that Supercharged 3RZ. Lots of amazing upgrades in that thread. Auto to manual & 2wd to 4wd.

Excellent idea!

BFAD was at the top of my list, along with Dirtco, 4-Ripcord and blcktpqsr... these guys were some of the first I thought of!!

You can't think of mods and 4Runner's without mentioning Singtoe!!

I know I've hogged the list of awesome builds but really, there are so many more to mention that I'll let some others contribute....

Hey [MENTION=116387]Unner[/MENTION] thanks for the mention! Just looking to help others in any way I can.

 

[97t4r81]

Bandit runner comes to mind. Oh yeah doc?(with the alternator 144 mod).Great stuff in those above too.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

I've gotta nominate [MENTION=63487]A.Wilson013[/MENTION] for the awesome work he has done, and for the great help he has provided to me and others.

Here is his build thread.

Thanks man, but I don't think my build thread is really what Brian is looking for in this thread. My build thread lacks organization, and I don't think it has a single DIY walk through.

Thanks again though!

 

[UnderFire]

BFAD is the king of the DIY guide, hands down.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

No worries. I'll let the others decide, but the work on your truck is still appreciated.

 

[BrianSD_42]

I wouldn't have nominated myself lol because I really don't consider my thread to meet the criteria.

I guess when I started this I was thinking about very technical posts within build threads where the subject matter does not have its own separate thread and you have to go to Bob's thread pg. 5 to get this amazing idea or how-to documentation guide. That was my intent. COB is a great example to nominate because the 4x4 conversion material in his thread stands alone in its quality and uniqueness.

Thanks man. I do have a lot of fab stuff, but not so much how-to/DIY stuff. I'm not worthy.

Fabrication was listed in the first post in bold.

You are worthy!

My build thread sucks! It starts as a plan and then BAM! 10 years later it's all done... LOL

I know how I did everything, and can tell you how to do it...but I didn't do write ups because I'm lazy.
