Well its been a long time since I last updated this. Been busy with graduating from UTI and starting my Job at a dealer here in santa cruz few changes to my rig. Now has 232k miles. Got rid of the projectors for some black housing lights and corners. Did the hitch flip mod. painted fender flares black. just been driving it until I get some money saved up. Its been such a good truck. never let me down after all these miles. I have some big plans for it, just gonna take some time.
Oh and I Installed a supercharger..... That lasted a day before the rotors started eating away at the back of the case. long story but she is back to stock for now.
Here she is

Wow, that's so funny because I came back from a 2 year hiatus and couldn't believe how busy the forum was. Interesting.

Have a couple maintainance items I NEED to address. LBJ's are pushing my nerves with 232k miles on them. Also need a new fan clutch because I have a horrible squeak on start up. Anyone heard of this?

Mine is doing the same thing. Thought it might be a loose belt, but they are both new & correctly tensioned. I'm trying to narrow it down between fan clutch & alternator, but the noise goes away after about 2 seconds. Annoying!

When and what kit are you gonna run?! It's cool quite a few people are doing LT now, it always seemed like the forum was heavily biased to SASes instead of superior long travel :flamethrwoer2:

hey [MENTION=73787]SantaCruzRunner[/MENTION] did u know out 4runners are practically cousins. i mean that both are 00 limited with same goodies from the factory. only thing it our flares are slightly different colors.
also funny thing is that our builds almost look a like! COOL! :rockon:

Those mounts are exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks for the info man. I bookmarked their website so I can order some soon.

Front sway bar removed. front endlinks swapped to the back because they are longer.
Also got some new wiper blades cause I needed them bad! Duralast singleblades.
How did swapping the front end links to the rear work out? Never thought of that before.

works good, that much more flex allowance.
