Where in San Diego are you? I am in the same situation, probably going to order a shell for my truck but would like something as a temporary solution. Would you take $300 and I can come get it out of your way tomorrow ?

Supply and demand as well as the logistics and overhead required to sell and support a boutique market product (that happens to be quite bulky). I am in the market for a RTT and am pretty sticker shocked by them but as a business owner that sells boutique products myself, I get it. That said...

Your 4runner is inspiring, got a lot of ideas from this thread. Mine will be coming soon, right after my shop is built.

Looks good.

Glad to see it went to a good home. My buddy is the one that sold it to you, good to see it continue to get built and enjoyed. Yes, it needed a regear badly, it was the only thing on the road that was slower then my 86 4x4 pu. I noticed in the later pics, You pulled the lights that were on the...

Nice 4runner! I gotta ask, what does the "party mode" button do? I assume something to do with the stereo system. Now have a mission, I must get one of these buttons and find a use for it in my truck.

My DD is a 96 2wd tacoma (5lug). Advantages: Gets 2x the gas mileage my 4x4 does. All expo gear stays in the 4x4, all my work tools live in the Tacoma (no having to swap to use my 4x4), it is always ready to go. Long wearing, much, much cheaper tires then the 4x4 Rides and drives a lot nicer...

Representing the old, err middle school. Specs: 87 Toyota Extracab 4x4, DLX Engine: 22re, 282,000 miles. Stock internals, Thorley header, high flow cat, flowmaster. Drivetrain: Stock trans and transfer case, 4:88 gears, Detroit Trutrac front, open rear Wheels and tires: 15x8 M/T Alcoa...

I helped install a set of these for a buddy and got a chance to drive his rig around for a bit. Night and day difference between these and the OMEs that they replaced. Fox pretty much nailed the valving on them right out of the box.

Any chance of sharing details on how the custom light mounts were made? They look well thought out and made in the picture. I want to put a couple of lights on the front of my Surco rack and have to keep the tops no more then about 1.5 inches above the rack or my truck will not fit in my garage.

Any updates on sources for MFCs? I need several "pre ban" gas cans. Stupid *** state... Edit: Looks like they are no longer available for sale anywhere in the US anymore. Some guy is selling a lot of 5 on ebay starting at $450. Will check with some .mil folks that I know to see if any are...

Man, that makes me sick...... All those 3.4 and 2.7 donor trucks for my 87 going to the crusher intact. Not to mention I wouldn't mind a full Limited interior for my 96 Tacoma. I am glad that toyota is compensating the owners of these trucks well, nice of them to stand up and take care of...

I have the cabling for GPS and XM antenne run next to each other in both my trucks. They are secured together all the way from the head unit up to the roof of my rigs (10 feet or so). The antenne are right next to each other on both rigs as well. Have not noticed any problems, the setup in my...

Interesting about the unit drawing power even when off. That would explain the battery in my rig being stone dead when I go to pull it out of the garage on weekends (not my DD). As for the mag mount, after searching what seemed like the entire internet, I gave up and made my own. A pair of...

Got a little carried away, decided to rewire all of the in cab electronics and add a Blue Sea fuse block. GPS was mounted to the back of the shifter surround. The thin, brittle plastic would have never supported the unit so it was beefed up with a fabbed bracket underneath the surround that...
