Spenedwrds build #3

[spenedwrds]

So after trading my 4runner for the Tacoma and then selling the Tacoma I found this 1 owner 2000 sr5 with 170k on it. the inside is immaculate, and has a whole notebook full of receipts to show for all oil changes and tune ups.
I ended up making a very nice profit on the Tacoma so I have some mod money.

First off Ive already ordered the toytec ultimate kit and a 2" body lift, I have a set of 1.5'' spacers on the way too. browsing ebay I found a set of tundra split spokes and picked those up and im ordering a set of 295/70/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers tomorrow. everything should be here by the end of the week so next weekend will be very busy.

enough talking here are pictures of it stock!
thanks for reading

Didn't go for the sc'd limited? Looks like a great platform to start from and I'm glad the Tacoma deal worked out for you. Any ideas for bumpers?

It had the 1st gen supercharger on it from the factory. And it had never been rebuilt. I couldn't even tell it had the supercharger. Idk if there is a big difference between the 1st and 2nd one but I didn't impress me. And he wouldn't budge off 7000 so I passed on it.

And no I'm just going to go clean and simple on this one. For now at least haha

Parts are starting to come in!!

Tires and head unit arrived today. Took the wheels and tires to be mounted. Just waiting on the the lift and to do the install.

Appradio 2 can't wait to see this thing in.

295/70/17 trail grapplers! Boy am I excited!

Nice

 

[SCRunner12]

Damn those look good! What did the Tundra wheels run you? Also are you painting them at all?

 

[spenedwrds]

Nahh I'm going to keep them that color. There in awesome shape!

 

[spenedwrds]

Wasn't planning on doing bumpers. But a trail gear popped up on Craigslist for cheap so I snagged it up. May be a few weeks before it's installed though. Also going to do a statoshi mod soon. Looking for a 96-98 grille if anyone knows of any besides ebay ones.

Pic of the bumper!

That Trail Gear bumper looks awesome! How much did you pay for those?

I paid 200 for it. The Guy just wanted it gone so I offered him 200 and he took it. It's a steal considering it'd be like 550 brand new

 

[spenedwrds]

Got the bumper on yesterday. The gap from the body lift is noticeable. I'm looking for a shop to modify it but I was quoted 600 to do it and that's a little ridiculous I think. So ill deal with it for now.

 

[spenedwrds]

finally had some time off work. working 2 jobs 6 days a week and 14 hour days kill any 4runner time but i had yesterday off and worked on my version of the satoshi. its not as good as i would've liked but its not bad for a pocket knife pliers and a hammer a haha

heres a few pics, not great but it'll do

 

[spenedwrds]

Got the windows tinted and gave her a long over due wash

Thanks man! Yea they clean up so good! I love them but I just got a new job at a dealership and can get a discount on new wheels. Just kind of ready for something aftermarket.

Thinking about these

 

[RdRunNNeR]

those look really clean too, would be great to get some beadlock wheels. Well if you need to get rid of those tundras let me know but shipping might be killer for me. Is the backspacing on them large enough to run those 295s without spacers?

 

[spenedwrds]

Nah there not I have a set of spacers. Wouldn't even come close to fitting.

 

[RdRunNNeR]

thought so. good luck and keep me in mind when you do pick up a new set.
