SamSter0077's 97 4Runner build

SamSter0077 said:
Yes, 3rd Gen bumper for this vehicle.. I asked for deals and a beat up model, and he had a brand new one that he said "shrank" more than he expected when he welded it. He said you could probably hammer it on there, or you "might" have to cut the supports and shorten them before welding it on. Either way, I got it covered and Steve gave me a hell of a deal.. and I didn't have to wait for 4 months either.. :D

Katy/Pismo? Body/Soul?

finally, a fellow Katy 3rd Gen.. BVORR is where I usually go, but there is quite a few places in Austin/San Antonio area. Bvorr is in Bryan, and a mere 70 something miles from us. Most of the guys started wheeling with 2nd Gen Taco's.. but the majority bought 1st gen runners to wheel hard. I fell in love with the 3rd Gen runner.. so I am the only one at the moment. Wanna wheel you rig? Come on out!!

A rear locker is an absolute must for the park he is talking about. I went to BVORR 1 time unlocked & it was not pretty. Bought a locker & it was all good.

YotaRob speaks the truth.. can't really do BVORR any justice without a locker. I live by Highland Knolls and Mason.. behind the HEB. You? We got a beach meet coming up this month, interested? Weekend of fun in the sun, Shark fishing is what we are shooting for.. I am just gonna sleep in the runner. :D

Here is the meet.

Haha ya it looked like in the pics that you would really need a locker for there. I live by West little york and fry rd. Man I would love to go the meet but I will be in College Station that weekend. I still need to take my 4runner out and test its limits lol. The only reason I haven't taken it off road yet is cause I was worried about the timing belt breaking but I got it done friday so now it is ready to go.

Well come on then, time to see what it can do! How many miles do you have/how many years have you been driving it?

Haha my truck odometer is actually in kilometers which says 248k so its like 153k miles on it. I have had the 4runner for about a month right now, I bought it from the original owner. I used to have an 02 SR5 4x4 all black but I sold it before I moved here from California:redbrick:

Not this week, I am in Ohio all week.. Back home on Friday, and we are camping all weekend at the Beach in Matagorda, then for Work Monday.. it looks like I will be traveling to Hidalgo, Tx for a week of work/dove hunting.

I am really starting to wonder when I will have time. This past weekend, I was sickish doing yard work Saturday, and Sunday was an Awesome first game for the Texans! so I got caught up in it.. yeah.. yeah.. all day. :D I am sitting in the airport as I type this waiting for a flight.

If I ever get time, I will.. Was in Ohio all week last week, Matagorda over the weekend fishing, Texas Valley to Hidalgo this week (Dove Hunting), Home this weekend and then back to Dallas the following week.. AUGH!!!

Don't know if I will have time this weekend, has a check engine light on Monday morning and I need to focus on Family this coming weekend. I will get er done eventually.. lol

I thought you were going to the meet this weekend?

So did I!! I need to work on the runner, I still don't know what the check engine light is all about. Need to get it scanned, if it is no big deal.. then I will probably drive down one day and hang out for a while. I am just tired of traveling.. I was fishing in Port Mansfield yesterday morning with a guide.. so I am kind of fished out at the moment. Will know more tomorrow.
