NWRunnin Slow Build

[NWRunnin]

Long time listener, first time caller.

Alright so my current ride is a 99 Limited 4wd, roughly 123k miles. I previously had a 96 2wd that hit 200k but I dumped it because I moved to the Seattle area and my wife and I travel to the East side of the state quite often (hence the need for 4wd)
Bought the Limited in April with 120k on the clock.

The day after I bought her.

The following are completed:
-Both rear axle seals and full rear end service
-New front and rear brakes
-New shoes (265/70/16 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs)
-Running board removal
-Ac recharge
-New catalytic converter
-Routine maintenance
-Front tint to match back

What's to come (slowly but surely)
-Dip wheels
-Avs all around
-Fix my front end (some damage from PO)
-Replace radiator
-Trans cooler
-Liiiiiiffffftttttttt
-More to add to this list as well.

I'm on a budget like most since my wife and I are both in school but hopefully will have time and money eventually to complete the list!

Thoughts and suggestions always welcome!

Looks good and solid, ill tell you now... tinting the front windows to match the back is the best decision ever. Helps so much with heat and helps the A/C out

Such great color. I think I saw you awhile back, I remember the duratracs.

Looks like a nice 4Runner you got there.

Did you recharge the AC yourself? I need mine done. Curious if those kits you can buy are any good.

Yeah I've heard that, can't wait to get it done!

Hey thanks, [MENTION=123572]TheToyotaGarage[/MENTION] also has a 99 same color with duratracs so you may have seen him. I just got my new shoes 2 days ago, haha.

I like it too. And yes I did, r134a I think it is. Blows ice cold now, just make sure to get one with a gauge. Super simple.

I'll have to quick putting it off, I suppose. My AC is cold enough to make it comfortable, but I want to freeze.

As for the tint... [MENTION=82154]GSPRunner[/MENTION] may know a guy that knows a thing or two about quality tint.

Quick Update::

Added some additions to the Runner lately.
AVS Bug Deflector II and tinted my front two windows.
If anybody in the Seattle area is looking for a good place for tint or clear bras, Diamond Window Tinting in Renton is awesome and their prices can't be beat.
Deciding on dipping my wheels but my wife isn't too fond of the idea, haha.

Finally got around to dipping my wheels! I love how it looks, but my wife wants to get the glossifier next haha.
School just started so my posts will be minimal, but definitely going to work towards finishing my list of things to do.
