MTD's "The Hulk" Build - Narrated by Morgan Freeman

Excited to see the tent on!
Not really sure what other feedback you've been given but approximately how much for a rear light mount?

Thanks I am too!

Pretty much no one gave a shat so I didn't make any more, but I would say that I can make another for about $20 bucks + shipping. What I may do though is if you are interested is just make a write up so that you can build your own. they are super simple to make, the only tools I had were a clamp, pliers, hack sway, and drill.
 
So I hit a semi truck... I was turning onto a road that made a T intersection and he was stopped waiting to turn. I came around the cononer which was all black ice the rear end kicked out and I ended up t-boning his rear tires.. The damage is all fixed already, luckilly I had my plate bumper because it would have been uber expensive as hard as I hit him..

Bumper dent all fixed! That is the winch port it had been all bent to hell. With a big hammer and some finish grinding good as new!

I'd be interested in seeing a write up :)

Damage doesnt look too bad, good thing your plate was there lol
 
So this was a heck of a weekend! I had Ryan, [MENTION=101896]isu2014[/MENTION], come up from Iowa to build his headlights and have a mini mod day. I personally was too busy to take any pics but here are some that Ryan took! Here is the list:
  • FX-R Headlight for the Tacoma
  • Hella 700FF's Covert to HID
  • My Icon's
  • Toytec Panhard Drop
  • RAT Skid plates (too cold to do :(
  • Ryans Satoshi Grille

Test Fit

Downtown Platteville after we got back from attempting to hit the trails. Unfortunately since I haven't been around and it is wisconsin, so the trail had a snow bank that was higher than the hood of the 4Runner. I almost made it over lol but got hung up. We don't have any pics and we didn't try it again because when we were pulling me off the bank we caused a bit of countryside traffic jam (a whole 2 cars). We figured we would just go back and have some of the cookies my awesome girlfriend made :D

Well all done and I must say I am really glad that I got the lifetime alignment. They did an amazing job! I definitely recommend the Firestone in Fitchburg.

I also have the lifetime alignment with Firestone. When he finished and I left, I walked out and said, "Thanks! I'll see you in a couple weeks!" The guy was at a loss of words. :banana:

Haha the guys at this place were pretty awesome they were all yota guys and got a kick out of the runner. I said the same thing as i was leaving and he said "wait let me give you my business card" :P
 
That's awesome! The guy that helped me was really cool, though when he asked if it was modified, he assumed I had a solid axle in the front with a customer drive train and etc... All in all, they made her run straight. Thats all that matters!

haha, the guy i talked to kinda peeked past me and then asked me if it was lifted :P
 
I did a quick check to see where I was at rust wise after hearing how peoples frames are rusting. Luckily my frame is solid! Unluckily I found some other issues. The exhaust hanger had rusted off, skid plate had a little offroad damage, and my CV Boot had just started leaking! No matter though I will get a new hanger, I have a brand new full set of skids sitting at home and i mended the CV boot with a hose clamp.





All fixed!


 
I am loving your build man, I wish my '99 could look like this. Quick question on the HID Hellas... Did you just follow the write-up/youtube video that was on here a few weeks ago? I have some Hella 500s that are just shells right now and would love to do an HID retrofit.

Kinda funny you should ask because I helped several people years ago to make some of the write ups we have now :P I use my own way to do it where I heat the shell and press out the back for room for the HID bulb. It is soooo much cleaner looking. If I pull them off when my winch goes in this weekend I'll take em apart and snap some pics and make a writeup. How's that sound lol?

I actually started out with 6 hella 500's converted to 55w VVME HID systems. That was on my 05 taco though.
 
So what RTT did you settle on? I feel bad for all you guys up north whose trucks rust so badly. Blows my mind to see parts rusted straight through!

Just part of living up here but I wouldnt trade it for anything lol.

As far as tents go since my GB was a flop its kind of up in the air... I may still end up with a tepui Autana, but of that fails I'll be getting a CVT my shatasa, or whatever it is lol.
