pinchiAb's broke college kid build thread

[pinchiab]

hello everyone, I've been on this site for some time now but never put up a build thread. mostly because i dont take many pictures of my runner.

i got it back in 2007 bone stock with over 150,000 miles but didnt do anything to it til 2012. these pics are not of my 4runner but its pretty much exactly how i got it.

as it sits now

first thing i did was remove the side steps, switch to 285s bfg all-terrains. then went with the toytec ultimate lift.

that was the beginning of an addiction of doing stuff to my 4runner. from january 2012 to may 2014 i ve done the following:

custom made roof rack
altelzza smoked tail lights
kenwood stereo w/ 12" subwoofer
swith to a sport hood
plastidiped black anything chrome
305 70 16 wrangler mt/r
along with the wider tires i got 1.25" wheel spacers in the front
40 series flowmaster exhaust
window vents
k&n air filter w/ cheap CAI
NRG Innovations wheel hub w/ NRG quick release and steering wheel
camburg racing UCAs
due to offroading accident, removed front fender flares
1.5 wheel spacers on the rear
40" LED light bar on roof
4 X 2" 10w LED pod lights on front bumper

Was a little bored and had some time and a can of plasti-dip so i decided to get rid of the wood trim

I like that vinal. I don't think it looks to ricey. Looks unique. Mine is dupli color bed liner. But this gives me second thoughts lol.

that would have been ideal but i didnt want to spend more than 5 bucks on the project and i would probably go crazy hydro dipping anything i can
