sweet trav's 96 4runner build thread

[sweet trav]

ok, so I haven't done a build thread yet on any of the forums I'm on (yotatech or expedition portal) but I think that it's time to start one. I'll need to gather all my pics but for now I'll post some to show ya where I'm at as of now...

...just finished installing the toytec ultimate lift setup with diff drop and also some budbuilt skids. Currently working on the front tube winch bumper...hopefully done soon so I can get out there and explore!

Thanks or looking!

so when I first purchased the 4runner I was actually too embarrassed to take pictures of it...now I wish that I would have becasue its come a long way!
The earliest pics I have...after new hood, wheels, and tires...

...and after paint and body work...

...it originally had these wheels and tires (31/10.5/15)on it but they had to go!

 

[sweet trav]

so far I've done...
new wheels and tires(twice for wheels, three times for tires), flowmaster exhaust and new piping all the way, it came with headers and intake, toytec lift as mentioned earlier, custome sliders and rear bumper, stereo, alarm, skids as mentioned earlier, and I've got a lot more left to do (this thing was in rough shape when I bought it)!

You should make the toyota emblem in the grill black.....

I would get a front bumper first

You should get a new rear bumper too because you will be sending me yours (Waves hand in face utilizing Jedi mind tricks).

Are your front turn signals in the corner lenses?

, shoot brian an email about making you a rear bumper if you're [email protected] does good work!

I haven't done anything with the turn signals yet...still weighing my options.

Well, I'm holding on to it in the hope that my brother will be able to purchase it in the near(er) future.

I do enjoy it and we have had a blast with it...still have some mods that I'd like to do if we have it for an extended period of time...
