Looks awesome. Very cool Dad and lucky Son. Enjoy it.

 

[02T4RVA]

Thanks everyone! He turned 16 the end of September! He was very excited, but I have to admit, I enjoyed being a part of it as well and doing this for him. We are a 4Runner family and have enjoyed Toyota's for many years. Thanks again!

Sweet. Nice choice in wheels.

As I already said. That is a BA 16th Birthday Present. Now he can pay for the rest of the stuff that will go into it.

PS- I hear Allpro has some cool stuff for it and Savage. Just saying.

[JohnBill53]

what a great platform to start from, my old man bought mine for my 16th birthday, still drive it today. every day.

 

[BrianSD_42]

Totally awesome build. I remember when you first started asking about ideas.

 

[fiercefoxie]

That is one lucky kid! I had to buy my own first car which was nothing to brag about, a '81 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. At least I got it for $1.

Anyhow, nice rig!

Looking to adopt a 35 year old with a mindset of a 18 year old? I got good grades, made curfew most of the time, etc.

Seriously, very lucky kid. My boss gave his daughter a Range Rover Evoque for high school graduation since she received a full scholarship to UVA. I
