*Phil the 4th Gen - Rickashays Mild Build Attempt

Beautiful 4th gen!

Miss Tom Cruiser? I enjoy reading your build threads and your off road pics!

Eager to see what comes of this one!
 
I really need to convince my wife to let me take my steps off, that looks so much cleaner!

I've got the same suspension swap and same size tires, minus the rear coils. What's your fender height in the front/back, strictly out of curiosity to see how mine compares. I'm 35.5" front and 37" out back from ground to the bottom of fender.

I'll have to go and get a measurement for the rear.Running boards have their purpose but I just like the look so much better!

Truck looks great so far! I'm about to install the same suspension and tires on mine, would love to see more pics of yours.

See what I can do. Just been enjoying the Daily-factor of this truck. Havent taken too many pics of it!

Clean! Love following your builds on Expedition Portal. Attention to detail and well thought out.

Just picked up a 06' myself in the Shadow Grey. Really love the way the color pops in the sun.

Looking to go OEM+ on my build as well as it will have to serve as a DD/Weekend Overland Vehicle.

Keep it up!

Thanks for the kind words and for following along on my builds! OEM+ really suits these rigs well and I can't say enough good about this color. So awesome!

Other builds are on point, can't wait to see how the 4th gen turns out.

Beautiful 4th gen!

Thanks guys!

I miss Tom Cruiser from the nostalgic "I drive a Land Cruiser" kind of stand point. Hard to put a finger on it really... I love the look of a built 80 and I do miss it occasionally. However, the Tundra was the right choice and I have no regrets building it. Truly loving the Tundy and its comfort level.
 
As always, this one looks really nice, man. The stance is pretty close to perfect in my opinion. I also plan to move up to a 4th gen in the next few months. A good 4x4 with low miles is hard to find in my area. I'm always looking online. Do you mind letting us know how/where you found this one and what you paid for it?
 
Unfortunately, (or maybe fortunately) a deal on a house came up that my wife and I cannot pass up. Its in our dream location and totally caught us off guard. We are going to purchase the house and put a suite in the basement immediately. What does this have to do with my 4Runner thread? Well in an effort to ad to our savings in a relativley short time, I need to sell one of my trucks. My built Tundra or the 4Runner has to go and so the

**4RUNNER IS NOW FOR SALE**

I will have an ad up sometime next week. It has 127,000kms (~79,000 miles). I will be willing to sell to the US should someone be interested and I live only a couple hours from the border. I may even be willing to deliver to the border or out to the West coast should the agreement enable it.

This one is mint, HATE to sell it as we absolutely love the thing but I will take a huge loss on the Tundra and it just makes more sense to let the T4R go.
 
Man! I really wish you'd wait about 2 months to sell. Bad timing....I'm actually about to sell my house and will be buying my 4th gen afterwards.

Anyway....good luck with the new home!
 
Man.... if I had the coin it buy this, and then hold it a d sell it back to you in a couple years after everything settles down. I just wanted to see where you go with this rig so badly. But I understand the priorities.

you got an ad up yet?

or an asking price... Might be able to find you a buyer, not that i think you should have an issue selling it..
 
Nice builds!

Thank you!

I hear you Isaac! I like to juggle vehicles and admittedly "have a problem" but the 4Runner is different. My wife and I both love it, really suits our needs well and it is exceptionally clean. Oh well, we will be replacing it with a b5.5 Passat for the short term (cheap but still has some cargo capacity for the dogs and ski gear etc.) but I can see myself looking for another once the house is out of the way. Maybe a 5th Gen? a GX460? A 200 series? I can dream right.

Thanks! No ad yet. Actually the guy who I am buying a Passat off of might be trading me + cash on his end. I should know in a couple days though, and if he doesnt take it, I will have an ad up quick. Already taken photos of it for the ad:

Thinking of asking ~$15500 US. Would also be willing to help somewhat with the export process, could meet at the border or something if desired.

That is a stupid low price for that vehicle with mileage. GLWS!

Edit: Nevermind. Saw in the thread it was sold. Carry with the Tundra and congrats on the home ownership. I love B5.5 Passat Wagons. Had one myself and loved the luxury and practicality of the vehicle.
