It went from this


To this


More info in the build thread.


Don't listen to smurfette. That looks waaaaaaaaay better than the baby blue! Remember, sleep with 1 eye open.

Testing waters and have my 4Runner up for sale/trade:

As I was driving down from Virginia to Florida I realized that I need a bigger SUV/truck especially with a toddler and another baby on the way. This is a feeler to see what's out there. If anyone is interested in a turn key SC'd 99' 4Runner with 160k on the clock, let me know. Trades offers welcome.

Interested in a crew cab tundra, sequoia, FJ80's, LX470, UZJ100's

Supercharged 99' w/ elocker

You have a lot going for you with your rig:
  • 99 with low mileage
  • E-Locker
  • SC'd (Fuel mods? Plugs? Tuning?)
  • Skids
  • Bumper
  • Quality Suspension upgrade
  • Wheels and tires
  • Good maintenance
  • Two-owner vehicle
  • Great color!!
  • Safe to say it's rust-free??

You won't get the money you want for it in Florida. I don't think the demand for a 4wd w/E-Locker is that high down there. If I were you I would post on CL in the rust belt states, NE, CO, and PNW. This may sound like a ridiculous asking price but I would start at 12,500K and hold out for a buyer.

Just for giggles I checked CL and found this low mileage stock 99 here in Portland OR, with a cracked windshield for $9500. 1999 Toyota 4Runner -- LOW MILES

Good luck and congratulations on your new addition on the way. Thanks for your service.
 
Just Finished 99 tall/OME 906 lift. Comments?

Just finished up a 99 tall/OME 906 lift and it sits great. Using 5100s all around. I wanted to know if there any need for a diff drop or anything like that? My center hub to fender measurements are all at 22".

The 4runner is getting high in miles and is my DD so I do not plan on wheeling it hard again until I pick up an mk4 jetta for my DD which I have been shopping around for.

I would prefer not to have to do any other lift modifications as the next things on my list are brakes and fixing my steering slip joint.

Thanks for the response. I'll see if I can get any bites here or in the rust belt like you said. This has been an incredible vehicle.

I have your same setup with ~18,000 miles on it now with no issues at all (with no need for the diff drop). I did use the extended front and rear steel brake lines from Wheeler's though.

Ignore the smurf. That blue was misery. Glad you got something more suitable :)

IMG_20161026_210912060.jpg I picked these up for $100 today. After a cleaning and some paint or possible powder coat they will look good. Going to try to powder coat in my garage

Made the decision to replace blown head gasket,replace muffler,get front end alignment and get new tires. Now to only find the time to all of that done.
 
Maybe I missed it, but what did you use? Looks good!

Sorry about the delayed response, I used Rustoleum truck bed liner (Rattle Can). That is the only stuff they sell onbase where I am, tried to order Raptor or lineX but none will ship to APO and the international shipping costs are a bit ridiculous.
It ends up looking good and is much stronger vs scratches.
 
Hi, have you got a full side view picture of what this looks like when completed? Looks awesome from the pics above :)

I am waiting to get the truck back from the mechanic installing my rear gears and locker. Once I get her back and washed up, I will post up some full shots.
 
White LED's in the window switches.



Soldered two little LED's on driver's side and cut a small hole under the right window switch so they both light up.



Soldered a white LED on the passenger side as well!



Popped off the little green LED (more like crushed it off... lol) and replaced with bigger white one.

 
Rolled 150K.
Build date 2/97.... 7500 miles a years on average..

My wife asked my how much longer I thought it would last. I told her, at this rate.. another 20 years..

Just ordered a leather driver seat bottom cover. Everything else looks great!
