So Cal 4Runner BS Thread

so i think i'm going to accelerate the build-up of my rig and get lockers next month. might have to wait until january to install though because i need my other car out of the shop.

any tips/recommendations/thoughts before i jump in?

may end up buying from total automotive (the forum sponsor) since they look to be cheapest, and better to support them than 4wheelparts (not that there's anything wrong with them).

also means i'll be selling that viair 88p i just bought lol.

i'll be buying a set of rock sliders probably during the black friday sales too.

Hey Roger, are you getting front and rear lockers?
 
yea, that's the idea.

go big or go home, amirite?

Dude, just get the rear done and use the money you save for other mods, like a super spoiler and neon lights under all four corners. On a serious note, if you don't plan on doing some serious wheeling having 4wd and a rear locker, you can pretty much tackle most obstacles.
 
Time to join the 33" tire crew haha! I just ordered some Cooper STT pro's in 285/70/17 for discount tire direct black Friday special. It comes with a $75 visa gift card, free shipping/ no tax since I'm in CA. Total price was $956 but with the $75 gift card deducted $881...not too bad, comes out to about $220 a tire.

It's about time man, those racing slicks you got on now don't cut it on the trails unless you're Tokyo Driftin. HAHAHA!

Thanks man, I'm super stoked! Now I will just need to find someone to buy my old setup. My old setup did pretty well, I was very happy with it that's what really made me want to get the Cooper STT pros.

Anyone here interested in 4th gen sport wheels with Cooper ATP tires 265/70/17 (1/2 treadlife) and a full size spare same sport wheel but with a 265/65/17 tire?

working with total automotive on air lockers and installation by their preferred shop in stanton.

it's hard for me to pass on some of these black friday deals on armor, so i may end up with a full suite of armor, instead of just rock sliders like i had planned. i may end up as the reverse of [MENTION=114619]cbr900boy[/MENTION], with 4x innovations in the front and cbi in the back.

oh, and did i mention i've got a baja rack on order but i'm also on the gobi rack groupbuy list? anyone interested in a baja rack utility rack with awning mounts? their lead time is forever but i'll sell mine at my cost (no shipping). they had promised it to me by halloween. then it was by thanksgiving. but i haven't really heard much on timing in 2 weeks or so.

Nice man! Congrats on all the armor! You should hit up Joe for full length roof rack, he's really local to you.

Check out 4xInnovations website, their rear bumpers are on sale.

is this that craigslist guy? i tried looking for him the other day but couldn't find his info. mind sending it to me?

i assume his roof racks attach to our trucks just like the baja racks and gobi racks?

thanks for the tip!

yea.. i'm considering going full 4xInnovations. wondering what their rear bumper's "light bucket" and a few other options look like though. maybe i can get an even sweeter deal if i get front, rear, sliders and a skid plate from them!

the CBI website does a better job of showing what the options look like. but it's more expensive.

Just call them direct and ask for Adam, he is very helpful. I bet they would give you some sort of discount if you buy a bunch of stuff from them. Also ask to see pics of the light bucket.
 
Come home on my lunch break to find a nice surprise waiting for me on the porch[emoji16] 20161123_100457.jpg

I might have to hit up Joe for his full length rack. My 3/4 rack is OK but I love big racks.

edit: anyone have his CL link? i searched but couldnt find it. I wanted to see the design.
