Buy my Uncles custom built expo trailer when he sells his Heep
I don't have any pics from straight off the lot but this is as close as it gets




Then came the day when all of my new parts were finally delivered




Drove 5 hours up to Charlotte to a buddies shop and got to work



Got all the Radflo Stuff installed and called it a night




Woke up early the next morning and worked from about 9 to 9 with a nice lunch/bolt search break. Finished up with this















More to come eventually when my bank account doesn't hate me.

 

Why does your truck have a permanent camper? Nice vehicle!

 

Haha not a camper, but thanks man. Still has a lot more work to be done to it.

 

Holy shit man, that thing is jacked up! lol I have a secret love for T4Runners.

.-. Looks very good, what else is in store for it?

 

Sliders up next, then I'll start saving for front and rear bumpers, maybe a few lockers and a regear, a roof rack. Pretty much the works over time, and by time I mean like 3-4 years because of college and what not.

And it's okay you have a secret love for T4R's I have one for Taco's which is probably why I'm on this website.

 

Got the CBI offroad ditch might brackets installed not too log ago.

 

Not shabby my friend. I'll be on looking this build. I remember when i was 16 and started my build thread.. almost 4 years later, it looks like a damn beast.

Yours will be similar I'm sure.

 

Yep that's the goal. I'm hoping to get as much done as I can this summer before I go off to college.

 

Good looking 4runner I go back and forth all the time whether I like tacos or runners better

 

Thanks man. I do the same, when I bought the 4runner I was actually at the dealer looking at a taco, but this was a better deal and it had a V8 so I couldn't say no.

 

Jake. Love the ditch brackets! Did you get the duallys or D2's?

 

I have a Chinese brand Dually but I think I'm going to upgrade them to D2s

 

your buddy's T4R is exactly what I want. does he have a build thread?

 

Yep go on t4r.org and search "A-ha Build Thread" I would link you but I'm on Tapatalk.

 

Are you really running 700 lb springs w/out a bumper? How's the ride? I have 650s on my Kings w/out bumper, but haven't driven them yet.

 

Yes 700lb springs. I removed my front sway and the ride is great. Perfectly smooth on road and still comfortable offroad. My front end is still smoother than my dads 2010 stock F150.

 

Installed a Midland CB-1 and a 3' firestik the other day with a Comet RS-720 mount on the back hatch

 

OP Update

 

Went up to Uwharrie on August 17th to do some wheeling with other 4runner guys. It was a great time and no one broke anything.
