Loving those wheels man, and your rigs paint is immaculate too.

Great pics.

This one reminds me of a dog jumping up on your lap trying to lick your face.


:bluejump:

Haha I had never thought of it that way! It actually does.

I think we could work out a trade, say my wheels for your projectors, e-locker, lift gate and ARB :wink2:
But on a more serious note, the paint on this thing really is beautiful. Pics don't do it justice and it hasn't been washed in over a month or waxed in almost a year. It's a shame i've put a few scratches in it, I put about a 10 footer along both driver doors. :ybrick:
One day I'll get around to washing it and waxing it up then I'll take some pictures with my dad's Canon 1D. Maybe then you can really see the beauty. Pics above were with a Canon 40D in case anyone was wondering.

I had a guy leave a note under my wiper today telling me to give him a call if I ever decided to sell my truck. That always gives you a good feeling haha

Cleaned my Throttle Body for the first time today at 115k I took my time as it was my first time doing it. My Throttle Body was EXTREMELY black, so with that and resetting the EFI fuse, I'm hoping to see some improved MPG.

Went to clean the MAF Sensor, one of the screws came out real easy and the other I ended up stripping, so I ended up just letting that be. I'll get around to it another day.

Well pretty big update for today! I bought and installed an Outdoor Logic bumper from Fonerunner. It was good to meet another member and see another built up rig. Anyway on to pics!
Front bumper removed:

End caps grinded:

And all finished up:

I'll definitely post up a few more pics tomorrow when it's daylight. Install went pretty smooth up until the end, the left side lines up perfectly but the right hugs the body really really tightly. I'm not sure what to do about it as of now, but I'm sure I'll figure something out. Any ideas?
Also I absolutely love this single hoop. I wasn't too thrilled about it when I first saw pictures but it looks sooooo much better in person. I'll be ordering some fogs sometime soon as well.

 

[mcaz5]

Few more daylight pics, not the best because it's really overcast here

That's just not fair...I have been waiting 3.5-4 months for my Shrockworks and you get to just meet up with another member over the weekend. Looks sweet man! :bigok:

If it makes you feel any better, I did have to wait about a month and a half for him to get the blinkers for his other bumper :lol:
That Shrockworks is gonna look sick on your rig! It'll be worth the wait!

Nice! That bumper looks great on your 4runner. What did Fonerunner get BTW?

Not a major update, but I got some fogs from Harbor Freight for $20 shipped. They are a perfect fit in the ODL bumper. Here's a quick pic

Also I'm trying to sell my subs and amp, and I'm about to take my yak rack off and put it on craigslist so hopefully that'll bring me a little cash. Also I'm expecting a new set of shoes pretty soon! :banana:

Great looking rig. The ODL bumper looks sick.

 

[muttbutt]

Thanks! I love this bumper, I actually wanted this bumper with the full hoops when I first saw it, but I just love the way this single hoop looks.
You've got a beautiful rig as well man!

Thanks for the kind words! Just buy you a black 4runner and start all over:eyebrows:
FYI, black is very hard to keep clean, but there's nothing like a washed and waxed black rig.

 

[muttbutt]

haha i wish!!!! if i had black id wash it every day im pretty sure haha well i guess i can dream for now

I did a little wheeling in the pouring rain today. That's always fun. Here's a few videos and a picture. These hill climbs are actually a lot steeper than these videos make them look. Enjoy!
EDIT: Could anyone tell me how to better embed videos to the forum? Photobucket doesn't seem to work too great.

I don't like using photobucket for video's. It's really easy if you upload them to youtube. Just open a bracket, type "youtube" close your bracket, then type or copy and paste the funky code on the end of your URL. After that, open a bracket put an end slash and close the bracket. here is a sample (but spell youtube right)
