Hi & welcome to T4R. I'd recommend you use a free photo hosting website such as Flickr, Imgur, or PhotoBucket :guitar3:

I used to use Imageshack.us but now they are only doing 30 days free trial. Lame.

Nice build and sweet mud din' pics! I love playing in the mud, but the cleanup sure is a PITA.

Nice lookin rig. I love muddin but could never get it all washed off. 2 months down the road you still hear/see dry mud falling out from random places.

BTW where did you get the PA system? Looks like a good durable PA speaker compared to the flimsy one I have

I like it actually, it’s nice man! I also remember when my dad handed me his Toyota truck he got it from Sandy Springs Toyota. I never thought that the car will be mine. I always dreaming of muscled cars but I realized trucks are cooler to drive with.

How is the lift treating you? You still thinking of getting new tires or sticking with the ones you have for now? It is looking good. Can't wait to see it perform this coming weekend.

Wow, I think I finally figured out what front winch bumper is on my T4r! I have been trying to determine what it is since I got it in April this year! It looks identical to yours, except mine has a push bar. It looks like yours is probably newer than mine. Where yours has the welded "T" on top next to your LED light bar, mine comes up into a brush guard. It also had headlight surrounds mounted to it when I got it too. I don't think I have any pics yet. When I take some I'll start a build thread.

I think the guy that had it before me cut off the top hoops.

New Pics!

Your 4Runner is looking great man! What happened to the tjm? Looks good either way. Also, how is the 4wd swap going? I hope it turns out good for you and then maybe we can put mine under the knife. haha. Keep it up!
