TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

That came out pretty cool!

 

I wish I was a better welder. End of the summer I bought a welder so I could start practicing. I might check into a class at the local Community College next year.

 

I would love to learn to weld as well. We have a welding class at work, I wish I could get into.

 

i have a pair of sliders at home that i haven't installed since June because i can't find a welder. .

 

By the time ì find a welder, the sliders will rust out

 

The sliders I bought, ShrockWorks, where bolt on...and then if you wanted to weld them you could. They were great. Took a buddy and me about 2-3 hours to install. The hardest was making sure they were straight and level. @ramonortiz55 you can't bolt them on?? Where did you get them?

 

No bolting. .had a guy weld them for me

 

Ya everything turned out pretty good. The trailer started as a flat deck and we built it up.
The stove in that pic wasn't finished. It folds up and has a shelf above it.

I wish I could weld too.

 

No offroad shops around there with a welder?

 

Good work. What kind are they?

 

Hey...those look good!!

I'm with you @rjsimz...I too would like to know what kind are they?

 

So I measured out the distance needed for the coaxial cable..

Removed the ashtray and fished string thru a back opening. Notice that mark? That's the mark I measured from after I layed out all the string.



Ran it behind this taped up wiring on thw drivers side



Then i removed th left kick panel and ran it beside the 4x4 module thingy machig





Removed the floor trim and ran it down there



Then I ran it the same way in the back



I removed more paneling and ran it up towards the rear wheel well in the back cargo area



Didnt feel like removing that rear panel off



Had about 18" left over to drop down and coil up to the antenna holder



Then i marked the string as shown on the first picture, tied it off at the hitch and measured out





Looks like 17' - 4"

18' should be good to go.

 

Fine. It wasnt string. It was phone cable.

 

I think I'd go with an 18' footer...but that's me!

What is that strange stuff you have...a phone cable. What the heck is that used for??

 

Thanks @ramonortiz55 for measuring that all out. I have also seen people run the cable through the center console which is what I am thinking of doing.

Do you have the same amount of flex as before? Your Runner looks pretty damn nice.

 

You can tell you take care of her for sure. You need to update your sig line now with your new rear suspension.

 

I feel the same way about my Camry. I hardly drive it, but it is nice to have a second car around if anything happens to the Runner. But I have to put some money into the Camry in the summer so I guess we will see after that.

 

You welcome! I already bought the 18' coaxial cable. The one with the fire ring.

I also painted the mstudt antenna bracket

I daily my Camry. The 4runner is my toy. I keep thet Tacoma around as the newer, reliable vehicle.. Camry is about to hit 300,000 miles and I already started to feel the transmission slip in reverse. .. hmmm...

blashpemy!
