Can we see a full shot when it's done? Looks like you did a window-delete.

Drip Weather-Strip should be what you are after PN 62381-35011 (RS) 62382-35011 and 62382-35011 (LS)
Puyallup has them for $92 each side.

That's a creative solution. Looks awesome! What's going on with the roof of your runner? You eliminated the rear side windows too right? Stop making us beg and start a build thread for this beast already! :guitar2::rockon:
de-squeaked and got lit 
replaced the stock clutch pedal return spring. mine was bent, had eaten through the bushings, was making a tortured rending squeak on use, and wasn't fully returning the pedal to position. i did the spring mod and all is well now. i went with 62-lb spring rate springs from HD, and those feel like quite a bit more than needed. a do-over would feel better with 35-40 lb.
also got into the instrument cluster again and fixed the polarity on the 4WD and cruise control LEDs, and went back to an incandescent bulb for the battery indicator so it didn't glow all the time. i figured out that for some of the bottom row or right and left side indicator bulbs, i could remove them without taking the entire cluster out, which is nice since the leads for the connectors are too short.

Shit's armored to the teeth. All steel? Gotta be heavy, what's your suspension set up?
Thank you WAbro, stay safe out there!
Devbot: Shit's armored to the teeth. All steel? Gotta be heavy, what's your suspension set up?
Not that heavy and purposefully built (I hope), U have to take into consideration that I have removed all the OEM cross members and my engine in stock config puts out 280hp 338ft/lb stock... and ill be turning it up a bit more.
once my kings get here and I can start working out a basic design Ill post a pic of the suspension
The window deletes do not weigh anymore then the windows they replace.

Yes I eliminated the quarter windows, there's a pic further back in the thread somewhere. I redesigned the roof mount points to tie into the structure of the body and put the weight into said instead of just the roof sheet metal and decided to add raised mount points on the roof to help keep out water and make designing and building the roof rack easier. I'm severely dyslexic so answering even these simply questions takes me a long time, so do not think a build thread would work out.

Still trying to work out the axle outers, so I do not know what lug pattern I'm going with so I can't finish the mount, once I figure out said I'll post a full shot.

Oh very funny, a 2J swapped 4Runner has always been my dream - though I would supercharge it, since nobody ever seems to throw a procharger or blower on them.
Be sure to upload many pics when it's finished! GTEs seem to have become very scarce, back a few years ago my buddy got one in a crate for <$2000, but that doesn't seem like the case anymore

I wish it had been 2k...
OK, you definitely need a build thread for this apocalypse vehicle you're building.

Installed the Addicted Offroad front bumper:
Also replaced the original vent with the '01-02 version with an intact vent flap and a provision for a harness pass-through if I ever need one (I just taped it up for now) (PN 62940-35020):

hoto: That bumper looks so good!I have my bumper off at the moment and was deciding what to do about my broken pressure vent as well. I was going to fab a workaround, but having a new one with that pass-through is worth spending the money to me. On my parts site I'm showing the same part number for all of the years. What part number was the one with the pass-through?

Sorry, should have included it (edited the post to add) - the P/N is 62940-35020: 2001-2002 Toyota 4Runner Pressure Vent 62940-35020 | OEM Parts

Oh, I see. Looks like they changed it in '01. The base models kept the previous style and the other trims went to the one with the pass-through. Good info, thanks!
Tried my hand at fabwork... just got a flux core welder for messing around with earlier this year so made my first big project, a bumper (kinda hard to see since it's black). don't love how it turned out but it's a starting place! gotta figure out how to add some quarter panel protection eventually.

dont worry,
we all have to start somewhere
look at my front bumper,
I started with some plate and look at the result
just dont give up.

WANT. Where'd you get that? That's one of the things on my list, and I didn't expect that it would only be $140!
