Here you go guys!




These are the pictures CBI posted on Facebook. I never made it to get it today. Got trapped on the side of the highway with a bad tire on a uhaul truck...
 
so I took the bumper off to sand blast it and paint it.






so the tube was rubbing on this bracket so I had to bend it and hit it with the grinder.
 
so my wheel bearings are on their way out so im picking up a set from nj636 off Tacoma world. looks like we've got some work to do [MENTION=14772]shootmymime[/MENTION]
 
Got my hub kits Friday and started working right away! I decided to do my brakes too while everything was off. Finding the right rotors and getting the old hubs off were the two hardest things hahaha. After spending two hours hammering and using pry bars to try and get the old hub off I finally caved and went out and got one of those 3 claw pullers. Trust me, just get one of these from the start! After I got that I had both sides on and torqued and the wheels back on in about 2 hours. My 4runner drives like a brand new truck! You can feel how tight the steering is now.

And that's all I got :bolt:
 
finally got out this week and got to stretch out the 4runner. We went up into the mountains outside the house. I just took a few pictures cuz we had a storm come in while out there.


a little flex


 
So ive decided to just on the face lift bandwagon. Im doing 06 headlight with 6K hids. To those who have done it what else should I plan on needing? I also filled the wholes in the bumper! got some fogs of amazon for $30! Ill get some pictures up tomorrow when I take some
 
So I thought I would update y'all on what all has gone on in the last little while. So out here in Driggs we get a lot of snow! This was all just over night!






As you can tell we really like our 4runners!

Also got to make a trip I've been wanting to make for awhile! We went up on some awesome trails just out side of Salmon Idaho. Made it up about 7,000 to 8,000 feet! It was super amazing!







Also, I got a new job in Raleigh North Carolina with John Deere! So for the 2300 mile road trip, I got new tires! I went with the Cooper S/T MAXX in 285/70/17. These things are sweet but man are they heavy! I got about 17-18 mpg on the highway on the way to North Carolina which really sucked compared to my Michelins. I ended up getting about 90k out of my Michelins which is awesome!



We took the long way and I got some pretty awesome pictures that ill post up when I get them off my camera!
 
Your rig looks great:nicethread:. Ill keep an eye out for you. I live by Bella Terra off 99 and westpark. :lookout:
 
youre gonna love those coopers. just sold my set to a buddie with ~30k miles of hard wheeling on them. still had at least 1/3 tread life left in them. even with all the cuts and chunks in them they were still quiet and tracked great, and they were cut and chunked to crap from all the granite i wheeled in. And to bad you moved all the way to carolina, now you wont be able to join us in our drunken parts break fest, i mean wheeling weekend out at lonestar jamboree.
