Welcome to my build thread guys! What you are looking at is an evolution of this truck since 2012 culminated into what you see today. This build is both for record purposes so I have somewhere to "store" my records, just in case I need to refer back to them at a later date, it is also for your viewing and reading entertainment. Anyways, this build happened on total accident after taking the truck out a couple of times to the dirt and realizing I wanted more out of it. I had no idea what that "more" was until I hit this point. I must say I'm pretty darn happy to with it and I really couldn't ask for a whole lot more at this point. It performs fantastically off-road for my purposes (Dirt running, Desert, and mild jumping). I will be moving on to small mods like gusseting of key area's but that's it. (That's what I always say too).

Anywho, this truck is my daily driver and has become quite a fun project over the years, as I approach year 9 of ownership it is pretty close to being built exactly how I want it.

That 4Runner looks like a monster!

 

That's Keak's T4R. It's running 38's .. That thing destroyed trails for breakfast yesterday, yet even with all of that it's got, he almost rolled it over yesterday!! :O

 

great stuff. like the wheels with the blue alot

I didn't know there was a builds section! Can the mods do me a favor and relocate this thread to the proper section?

 

Roberto here are some more pics from yesterday.

 

That third picture was scary as hell as it was happening!! Thanks John! Do you have them in a larger resolution?

 

yeah, I do. Trying to figure out how to get them on here in the full size.

 

Hey did anyone happen to loose their brakes john ??!! Haha
Looks like a good time hey roberto your truck is one of the cleanest builds really diggin it man

 

Seeing this build make me want to go with bronze wheels instead of black

 

Hey thank you Alex! It always does help when you have a fresh clean untouched slate to begin with I must say. I'll add more pics here to add to the build soon, after I get my air bumps welded on in the front!

What I love about them is that they are not too overly bronze, they are very soft shade of what is bronze, so it's very easy on the eye to accept the two different tones of colors. It breaks up the blue of the truck well.

 

Blue break up is my main goal

 

Yeah there is way too much blue going on with these sport editions for sure.

 

Just received some toys in the mail today these things are rock solid, I'm pending on getting them welded up for the moment.

 

Sub'd. Looks good

 

Roberto, I figured out the pics. Check them out now.

 

Very nice John! Look at that third picture! Geez I was WAY off the ground!

 

Which fox bump stops did you go with?
