Looks good Matt. How is the boat builder coming along? Just think, back in the day you weren't sure if you were going to remove the running boards.....

Business is booming. He is currently back ordered about a year and a half right now with orders. He offers the 26ft hull in both a bay boat version and offshore version. My dad was actually tarpon fishing with him today and got a few nice ones.

It's always fun looking back at the beginning of this thread!

Looks good. I am glad the builder is having success. 12+ months out for work is excellent.

Do yourself a favor and buy some 6ton jack stands at Northern Tool or the like sometime in the future. Won't even be $50 for the pair.

Yes please. Even better just get them from advanced auto with a coupon code for $30-35.

Not sure if you have Nothern Tool down there. First time I've ever seen one is here in SC. Never been, maybe I'll go tomorrow. I probably need some sort of tool or cool thing...

A few more random pictures to try and catch up the build thread

My buddy and I were just talking about getting some bigger jacks. Will probably go pick some up this weekend for when I do my brakes

Is your awning mounted to the factory roof racks? Do you have any pictures of this?
I really like how your ditch mounts don't require cutting of the piece of valence like the CBI's do. I wish I hadn't already had the CBI's cause those look awesome.

You can flip the shove the other way around. Move the mounting hardware little towards the back. And let the shovel head take the contour of the roof rack. Thus looking better and if you go wheeling and hit trees, it will slide across rather then getting stuck on it. Just idea.

Also be careful about the shovel!!! I have one, and had it mounted like that. Used it few times. Thank god I had one. But anyways, once you use it. It will scratch the paint on the shovel head. And when it rains it will rust. Rains more the rust will drip on your rear window and paint and you will never be able to get that stain out. Just heads up. TRUST ME.

It was, but now it's mounted to my curt rack. This is the best picture I have

I only keep the shovel up there when I'm off-roading for easy access. When I'm daily driving, I just keep it inside so nobody with sticky hands takes it. I haven't had to use it yet, but thank you for the advice!

Looks good Matt. I guess your dad didn't imagine you would take to modding the 4runner this much eh?

He loves it now. Whenever he's up visiting me at school, I take him out for a few hours. Hoping to get some camping trips in too.

His view point on everything changed when I started the business.

Hey man, really nice job on the build. Big jump in the transformation of your truck but looks mean and very well rounded. Will be hitting up your site and checking out what I might order sometime!

Finally got the new Coilovers installed!

Here they are compared to my 5100

A picture of them installed with way to much preload.

The preload was set to crazy amounts. When I first set it down, I was sitting at 26"s hub to fender. Spent a long time raising the collar. After this photo I actually raised the collar more to only 2 threads showing above the collar. Sitting at about 24"s hub fender in all 4 corners now, including my .5" body lift to help with the rear bumper clearance.

Here is a photo of the UCA angle with the truck sitting on all 4.

Hoping to have some UCAs or LT installed soon. Cough cough [MENTION=92884]snivilous[/MENTION]
