Excellent. Enjoy your new truck.

What dealer do you use?

I will post pics of the late '03 later on, as well as the new '06 I use Towne Toyota in Ledgewood. They have an excellent service department, I would absolutely recommend them any day. They even put my Duratracs on without charging me labor costs on my '03, and those are special order tires too.

How much for your led tails from the 03?! Lol.

Lol, PM me and we'll figure it out

Glad to hear you weren't hurt, having moved from an 03 to an 08, I think you'll be happy with the newer body style once you get used to it, congrats on the new truck

Here's the new truck. Spent today doing some simple things with it. I power washed the undercarriage which was covered in mud, removed the running boards, and did the LED interior swap. Hopefully getting my Gibson exhaust put in tomorrow.

Did you get my PM?

 

[NJshadow93]

Yeah man, sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet. I haven't opened it yet so I still have the notification to remind me to get back to you, but I'll let you know about the taillights soon.

Damn that thing was beastly!! It's a shame

On to bigger and better things I guess!

 

[NJshadow93]

Yeah, the new one will look just like it, same wheels, tires, (have them sitting at home already) but it's blue instead!:happens: but there's only so much you can do!

I know this truck is gonna look awesome! I love that blue.

And yea, you can't do anything about the countless dumbasses that prowl our streets. Too bad they weren't texting, you coulda had yourself a nice settlement!

Hey guys,

Unfortunately last week I got into an accident, which totaled my beautiful 2003 4Runner. As some of you may know, I put so much into that truck. Many hours spent Plasti-Dipping the cladding, washing, waxing etc. I also replaced many parts that didn't need replacing, just to make it look new again. Nobody was injured in the collision with a Chevy minivan, but there was a lot of damage (way worse on the minivan). Significant damage to mine included airbags, suspension components, and the frame got bent pretty bad. I was able to get most of my mods, 3 wheels and tires (one of them was damaged), stereo, taillights, alarm system, HIDs, and exhaust. The only thing I lost was the Daystar spacer lift.

I swapped out the wheels with 1985 4Runner wheels I got from a junkyard (which didn't turn because they were too small, but it was good enough, and funny to look at), my old headlights and taillights, and the old exhaust. R.I.P. 4Runner--2003 SR5 V8 4x4 with 93,500 miles.

Now to the good news!

I just purchased a new-to-me 2006 4Runner SR5 4x4 V8 with 109,500 miles. I will be picking it up tomorrow and the mods will begin :thumb3:. I still need to get my hands on a lift (I hope to go full suspension because the shocks are starting to seep). I got an excellent deal on this '06 (was actually looking for '03-'05 because of the styling but love the look of all 4th gens). I will post pics tomorrow when I pick it up!

Nice little upgrade you have there. Like the bumper and the color! Congrats!
