T-man's '05 Sport Build Thread

[t-man]

Great build thread. lol wish had the balls to do the front bumper like yours. That looks awesome. Just can't bringh myself to do it lmao!! Glad you got your rig up and running though..

Thanks! It's hard to compete with some of these guys, but it takes time I guess.
Well, with all the other trimming and the amount of trail riding and offroading I do I figure it can only help with angles and such. I had big scratch marks on the parts I cut off already, so I new it was just a matter of time before I really tore it up anyways. After my fiance and I buy a house and we get moved in I'm thinking of some sort of tubing to help protect the fog lights a little and give something to deflect sticks, rocks, ground, etc.

Congrats on the little one. It'll be the best thing that ever happened to you.

Thanks everyone! I'm thinking this one will be my second girl. I have 1 girl and 2 boys already. My daughter is the oldest. So, another girl would be just right, and my fiance really wants a little girl! ;-)

Gertrude playing in the snow

Took a little stroll through the woods today! I apparently stopped in the only spot that had snow less than 1 foot! Lol. I was plowing through it with my bumper in many spots!

[MENTION=101553]t-man[/MENTION] .. How are the Dynapro tires treating you in the snow? That was one of the tires I was looking at when I purchased the Grabber AT2s

I love them! They claw their way through everything. I drove across a field today that nobody has been on yet. There is 6" of crusty crap underneath the powder here and the truck kept going no problems. Last winter I had the Hankook dynapro o ATM's in Stock size and they were awesome too.

Was finally able to park next to a stock 4runner today. I'm only a "little" bigger..

 

[awdjunkies]

Kind of reminds of that one commercial a long time ago where the tune went like this:

Wimpy, Wimpy, Wimpy.... (Vs) Hefty, Hefty, Hefty!!! :laugh:

Obviously a commercial for the Hefty trash bags .. LOL



PS: I am not laughing at a stock height 4runner as Mine is the same way :crutch:

 

[t-man]

Lol, everyone around here compliments me and says my truck looks vicious! Love it!

Preparing for winter. Bought some rust converter and sprayed it on my frame. Was looking kind of crappy before.

How has the rust converter been holding up this year? I only ask, because like you i'm in the rust belt and I try washing it at least once a week to be preventative, but also was looking into this.
