That's one clean truck you got. Nice WRX too, we just got a '13 WRX in at work and that thing is fast as hell. Looking forward to seeing the build.
 
Daaaammmnnnnnnn bro. I would never be able to tell it was that mileage.


Underbody beautiful. Interior super slick.




Nice purchase and great colour combo!!!, you did well!
 
Thanks! Can't wait to get the truck. It's traveling cross country so keep an eye out.


I just finish parting out my last subaru build 1997 outback sport insurance cost 13 a month. Garett 35r ona jdm sti engine 8200k redline, 2004 sti transmission. 07wrx brakes to fit under stock wheels. Custom intake manifold, gutted and dash swapped interior.
 
I miss Maine. I grew up in Old Orchard Beach. A lot of my friends had WRX's back then. I had a massive Grand Marquis which made for fun winters
 
Yeah, I'm a little more north of old orchard beach. I'm stationed in southwest harbor.

I've only seen pictures of the 4runner. Can't wait to get it in hand!
 
Welcome! I frequent the Portland/OOB area. My brother does stock car racing in Scarborough, ME. Never been any farther than Portland. Family lives in the White Mountains of NH.

Clean truck, welcome aboard!
 
Thanks! Your missing out! Acadia national park is beautiful! I've been up here about six months.

I might be new to this forum but I believe after owning 14 subarus in the past 7 years I believe I'm an expert on them. They just aren't as off road capable!

My first car was an 87 land cruiser which rusted out :( and my father has had a 4runner since 2002 including a 2007 sport and 2015 limited. I suppose it's about time I follow suit.
 
2 clean rides man! You should turbo the 4Runner! .......or not. That thing looks like it's been garaged since birth. What are your plans?

That Scoob is sick! I've been playing with my DD Forester XT for a while. Basic mods: COBB intake/tuner, complete catless exhaust, PnP turbo, and some other bits and pieces. It's not "fast" by any means but it's nimble, roomy and and can run away from most things on the road.

Good to see another Subaru fan jumping in the 4Runnr family.
 
Nice fxt! I've had two of them in the past year. Both red and 5spd. A lot of fun from a wagon.

As for the 4runner, it will be a dd and weekend warrior something to take the wife and kids out away from electronics. 3"lift and 1" body for more room to stuff the 285's. Arb style front bumper, sliders and rear bumper. I'd like arb lockers front and rear as it has no lockers right now. Might retrofit the headlights as I've got experience doing them but that will be down the road. I don't see the truck with any need for a snorkel as I don't plan on muddying the truck. My young and dumb days did and had a lot if fun but it sure wears everything out fast and is a pain to work on. I do plan on some snow wheeling so the beadlocks will be nice to air way down.
 
Picked up 2 gallons of fluid film to keep it from rusting this winter. 4runner should be delivered October 8th!
 
Why against Fluid Film? (just curious) I'm finding the stuff to be magic. I vote for both. Of course, I'm in Vermont, land of brine saturated roads.
 
I have no use for por15, there isn't rust. I could use hydraulic fluid to undercoat but this is more environmentally favorable. If the fluid film doesn't work this winter I will fall back to hydronic fluid. But in talking with locals I don't believe I will have to do that.
 
Picked it up from shipping yesterday afternoon, today lifted 3". Toytech coils, diff drop, bilstein 5100 extended travel rear shocks and land cruiser 7wraps. 285-75 bfg kdw2 tires and beadlock 17x9 wheels

Your truck is looking great , love the white! i bet you were excited to receive that shipment of truck and parts and get to work. Do those beadlocks add a lot of weight and consequently does it take a lot of weight to balance?
