Top picture is it stock then the next three picture it how it sits as of now the the other pictures id for the UCAs I got, steering extension, and struts. More picture to come can get a good one of the front right now of the bumper that I have to fix cause of the body lift I have a sign in front of my truck cause I am at work for my parking space.

It looks like you are on your way to a big build.

That will end up being a sweet rig. Great start so far!

Everything looks great but ditch those tail lights. Other than that I love your runner.

Thanks guys and Ya the tail lights were on there when I got her so I just left them for now.

So the power antenna stopped working a few weeks ago so I got time to look at today and fixed so it works for now till a get a wipe one. I just disconnected the teeth from the antenna and put the antenna back in and now I manual move the antenna up and down which for me it great since I have to park in a parking garage at work and for the car wash I don't have to turn off the radio or my iPod to have the antenna go down.

So haven't done anything to the 4runner but hopefully which switching to a new job after I do that I will be buying all tool needs to start building my bumpers and sliders. I will also be building some stuff for a Tahoe and Jeep I think I will keep updating with a lot of pictures when this starts.

Also to all Colorado guys where is a good place to go for a re-gear I called two or three shop this morning and they all wanted $1400 to $2000 to re-gear the front and back. Is it just me or it that a little high cause im going to pull the diffs and bring them to them. They said they wont re-gear if I buy the gears and have them do it they will only re-gear if they order the gears.

If you're gonna pull your diffs, send them to Drivetrain Specialists East Coast Gear Supply

IMO, save up a couple bucks and redo your suspension. Get rid of the revtek kit. I pieced my suspension together for $500 bucks. If you want to run 35's or bigger, it will be pointless with the suspension you're running. You are already pretty limited with those spacers. Good luck!

I vote for Zuk to do your rear - awesome price, great service. www.gearinstalls.com
