I probably spent around $700 I believe and the ride is just fine. Probably not as good as it could be considering all the weight I've added to the rig since then, but I wouldn't say it is terrible. If you aren't planning on adding the weight I'd definitely go this route.
Yeah im looking at those but unsure about ome 90004 and toyotec coilovers with lc 8wraps in the back.

Thanks! That means a lot to me. I absentmindedly sorted pictures awhile back and didn't realize I broke all my pictures. Most of them should be back up now.
Been very busy with work and some health issues but the wife and I made it up to Colorado to do some exploring. Trying to get settled down before fall and the camping season really kicks off.

Thanks for the update. Hope everything is well.
You have one of a few T4R's that look good with 265 duratracs. I don't know if I want to go 265 or 285 when I decide on lift and everything else. I wish Savage still made the swing-out tire carrier rear bumper you have, but I'll see what they have planned for their redesigned version.
Thanks again!

Been awhile since I've updated this thread. Since then I've gotten a daily driver to keep miles off the 4Runner. I got a 2006 GX470, white with the third row and no nav.
I've got a pile of work planned on the 4Runner but started with adding a HAM radio for communication. CB just doesn't cut it. The HAM is a Yaesu FT-7900R and a Comet SBB-5NMO antenna.

Beyond Cargo Slide
How's that cargo slide working out for you? Plan to mount mine to the rollbar once I get it installed.

I love it. Really adds a lot of versatility to my setup. Only downside is that I can no longer sleep in my rig but it comes out pretty easily if I needed to do a quick trip and wanted to sleep in the back.

That took me my whole class period to read :usa2:
Sorry for bringing up this really old thread, but I just have two questions.
1. How did you mount that flashlight? I have been looking everywhere for it and I can't figure out how to
2. Can you link me to that rear tire carrier? It looks really damn nice
Sorry once again :redface:

The flashlight mounts are Maglight specific mounts.

The rear bumper/swingout are from Savage Offroad. They have a new version out now.

Long time since I've updated. Thanks to some Group Buys here I've since added a fridge and awning. Both of which have been awesome.
I've got a few winter projects I'm hoping to work on. I'm revamping my storage solution and slide as well as changing my grill out to add a light. Won't be getting out much as my wife and I had our first kid, a daughter, back in September. She's been a lot of fun but is certainly keeping me around the house.
Earlier this summer I did sneak out with some friends to a secret and remote swimming hole and had a blast. Something I usually find hard to do in Oklahoma during summer.

Just read through the entire thread. Great stuff here
Did you ever get the transmission rebuilt?
No I found a salvage yard with a "low" mileage transmission that was swapped in. Working great several thousand miles down the road.

Nice 4runner build! I came across your build in cross reference to some research about winches. I have an AOR front bumper and I wanted to find a good winch that would fit my needs, the bumper, and not leave me broke. I just ordered one via Amazon. They were running them for about $329 but had a $50 off coupon. That made it just too tempting to pass on.
How has yours treated you?

So far it has been great. Only used it a couple of times but it has worked great.
