Cool rides!

Surfnz,
Do you happen to have any pics of the tailgates on any of those?

Here's an updated progress pic of mine.

Dorton,

I dig the stripes. Painted on right? Nice.

And what size tires are those?

 

[dorton]

The stripes are decals I had cut. 3M material. Black, with satin clear over top.

The tires are 33x10.50/15s.

This is going to get costly....but it will look great when it's done!!!

Ssapach,

I liked the setup of yours before, you going back similar? The snorkel going back on?

Oh it's going to keep the snorkel and ARB front bumper, just getting rid of the Bushwacker flares. I told the guy at the shop to cut the holes in the fender for the snorkel before he paints it. The plan is to just get it repainted the original grey color.

Eventually I will do a solid front axle conversion, but I'm still working on my donor axle.....and of course with the warm weather I will want to drive it around when I get it back from the paint shop before I park it again to do the SAS.

Had to post a couple of "Good Times" last adventure with me. Southern Sequoias off Rancheria Rd.
Not that she died on me, the "family upgrade mod" has inspired me into a 3rd gen.

i can't believe its been over a year since I added any updates to my 4Runner. Although I didn't to many mods, what I did do has been pretty significant!

Looks like my last update (page 45) was right after I got new tires/rims. Since then........

After much debate, I got a Softopper and it was the best decidion ever:








Which has been perfect for single night camping trips too:



I also installed a Blazeland Long Travel front suspension:

Before-see how the tires are actually UNDER the truck:


During:


Parts- New vs Old:


Finished product - Tires no longer under the truck so much anymore:


Even had a chance to get it on an RTI Ramp - I didn't get an actual score though:

Wow, I bet that changed your COG quite a bit.
