Looks like it was well worth the wait!!

I guess the other option is taking a battery powered sawzall to the junkyard and cutting out what you need.

The 4Runner looks great. Nice progress so far!

That's good to know other people brag about stuff like that to their wife! The truck looks great!

How bad can the Wolfe stuff be? I'm assuming it would be easier to start with a patch panel that requires a little bit of massaging that start from scratch? I usually get my patch panels, fenders, etc from www.crosscanadaparts.com, they've never been perfect, but the price is usually pretty...

And in case anybody is wondering, I'm sitting at about $2300 total "investment" into the truck so far. If we weren't planning the big trip I would probably stop now and just drive it... :smiley_drive:

Hey Nitinat, in some cases we have asked for demo/damaged products at a discount and they have offered to ship new gear for free. In other cases we've come up with agreements with the companies to either decal up the truck, produce photos/videos for their website, etc in return for a discount...

<-like this, with the forward slash on the second img tag to "close" the code.

All you have to do is find somebody who's getting rid of it and doesn't know what they've got. A guy from work just sold one for $300 (200k,3.0L/5 speed) because he bought a new Frontier and didn't want to deal with his "beater" any longer.

I'm planning on a fiberglass canopy and RTT with rack. A slide in camper or Flippac would be awesome, but not in our budget this time...

Trying to avoid this outcome helps me make most of my decisions.

Yeah, ordered it through Visions.ca (it was on sale for $89 I believe) but I think it was on Crutchfield.com as well.

Wow! Great deal! I've seen 3rd gen pickups not running go for that here!

If you're willing to work on the vehicle, don't shy away from something stupid cheap and spend the rest building it into what you want. As long as you've got a solid frame and halfway decent body to start with (and time)everything else can be purchased and installed relatively easily. We've...

I ran a 3.0L/Auto combo with 35s on stock (welded) 4.10s for 5 years. If you let the engine rev a little and shift yourself it's not too bad. From what I remember I averaged around 12mpg... I never towed anything and the most I ever hauled was basic camping gear so I could get away with the...

The engine in the truck has 320,000km on it and seems to run fairly strong, but there were a few reasons I decided go for a rebuild. I really don't expect that I'll drive this thing another 300,000km so I'm hoping that this will be the last 22RE I drop in. #1 At the very least I was going...

x2 with the pics! Excited to check it out!

I came across that yesterday as well! I didn't know they made anything other than the classic VW guide.

Excited to see how this build goes!!
