Oh No! Another '99 build thread

I'm going to bore everyone with my build thread

1999 4Runner Highlander Sport, 4x4, E-locker, 3" OME lift.

Coming soon... 1.25" Spidertrax wheel spacers, 285/75R16 Cooper ST ( used ), Auxilary tranny cooler.

Purchased on 6-21-10 for $4K
112,411 miles

Just added the 3" OME lift over the 4th holiday weekend.



Bought it today 6-21-10

It's got E-locker!!

Fresh wash & wax! Purdy!!

Transferred the OME lift from the rolled '96, Front shot

Rear shot after lift

Wow....great deal! Looks good...keep the mods coming...:trophy:

 

[topdown4runner]

Got an alignment yesterday to compensate for the lift.

New pictures....

Was a busy weekend...
Added the spidertrax spacers, and the 285/75R16 tires. Coopers are not my favorites, but 3 of them came with the rolled parts truck, and the 4th one was cheap.
Probably will run these for a year or so, then go to BFG MT's.

At some point, the running boards will come off after I have built some sliders. The Wife is only 5' 2" and needs the step to get in.

Come on, I know you're new but another member's build thread isn't the place to ask a random question - especially when it's not even the same gen 4runner! Go to the 2nd gen page and then search "3" body lift".. or go to 4crawler.com. Welcome to T4R.

Still a nice Highlander topdown!

[drinknmolson]

I like your build thread, it was quick and your 4r looks good!!

Betcha can't stop tho!!!!!!!

 

[topdown4runner]

Thanks for the recient comments guys :thanks:

Um...other than the factory E-locker it came with, what E-locker mod you talking about?
The brush guard should be gone by next weekend. A guy from Tampa is coming to buy it.
The ARB from the rolled '96 is going on it instead.

Never stop, never give in, or something like that
It does go quick when there is a lifted parts truck in the back yard :thumb3:

I do love it, but the coopers that came on the rolled truck are fubar. They are splitting and ride like crap.
I am trying to find some more used, but good 285/75r16's in similar type tread...having a hard time finding a good deal though...
It's not like this is the only vehicle I have to drive. I can wait....:thumb3:

 

[Elton H]

it allows you to use the locker in 2wd

 

[topdown4runner]

it allows you to use the locker in 2wd

Doh!

Nope, not yet.

I remember reading about it at some point....long before I even had an E-locker, so I never really paid much attention.

How involved is it to make the mod? If I remember correctly, it is just jumping or cutting a wire in the 4x4 ECU, or something like that.

i made a write up
E-Locker Mod For 3rd Gen 4runners - YotaTech Forums

e-lock mod & other stuff

It's been a while since I updated this. Had to find it first!

O.K. I have done the E-locker mod.
New (used) shoes. 285/75R16 Goodyear Wrangler MT's
Fixed, un-bent, painted & installed the ARB bumper from the rolled '96.

:hiding:Where did you go?:nicethread:

 

[topdown4runner]

I've got CRS or Old Timers Disease... Can't remember which one.
Anyway, I'm still here.
Life must have gotten in the way, 'cause nothing else has been done to 'er.

A friend rolled my T100, so had to find a replacement.
Grand kid born, Mom & Dad & kid living with us...
CEL light on 2 vehicles, still unable to figure out the problem. Just gave up and taking the '99 in to repair shop to try and figure it out.
Still parting out the '96
Leaky roof...
Cancer...

Yea, I'd say life got in the way.

I will eventually build some sliders & a rear bumper.... Some day... Sigh...
