Trailhead98's Build Thread

Your new rig is looking awesome! I always thought your white one was one of the simplest yet and cleanest 4Runners on here. Now, your new one carries that same look forward but with a transfer case in between! haha Awesome truck and awesome shots man. I love this build.

Thanks Rickashay! I wish I could wheel as much as you do! Your scenery is just epic all the time! And yes there are some days I miss the clean, sharp look of the white one, but I feel like I have carried it over to this one. But in the end 4WD makes it something so much more. Thanks for keeping up with the build
 
Nice! Normally, I prefer the old school Yota look of chrome bumpers on the 96-98's, but the anthracite-ish bumpers and grille work very nicely with your Sunfire Red paint!
 
Time to change the plugs. Old ones were getting bad.

Here's more pictures of the roof rack paint job.

Took the time to give the roof a full wax since everything was off of it.

Sealed back the torx screws.

Drove up to TN today to pick up a older savage off road bumper I found on Craigslist. Needs some fresh paint and I think it will look great! Got it for a steal of $180!!!!!!

I thought I was going to leave my '97 in stock condition. I feel my wallet becoming lighter as I type this reply.

You have no idea how much I want to put it on, but I'm going to wait til I get my truck back. I'm dropping to tomorrow for some mild hail damage repair...so I figured I'll hold out til then. So it will be a few waiting days...
 
Nice build on both runners, I thought that bumper looked familiar I talked to the guy about it but got hung up at work and couldn't get it. Anxious to see how it looks on yours. I will be following along keep up the great work.
 
wow man, both of your runners are super clean!!! I can't wait to see how that new bumper looks. I am fairly new to the forums but from all my browsing through the builds your runners are by far the cleanest builds I have seen. I hope mine comes out as good as yours looks.

Is that a custom build bumper or can you buy it somewhere?

Thanks for the kind words man, I try to keep up with all the other great looking trucks on here. As for the bumper, I think its custom, the guy i bought it from said it was 2 years old, so could just be a old design. However it was made by Savage Offroad who makes bumpers very similar to this currently, ive heard good things about them. I plan to but sliders from them at some point.
 
I like how your build is so simple and tasteful. This is turning into one of my favorites.

What happened to the little TRD decals you had on your wheels? I always thought that looked really neat.

Thanks man, as for the TRD decals on the wheels I took them off when I swapped them to the red truck, the reds would have clashed. I might find like some silver ones some day. However I did add these the other day :cool:

Boom! I like the TRD decals there. I'm not sure if I want to add those on mine yet. I mean, I do want to, but I don't because I like the debadged look. I really want simplicity in my 4runner. Plus everyone has some sort of TRD decal on theirs haha!
