TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Yes sir...not only did I buy a complete setup for the rear axle...knowing it would change the gears to 4.30's...I also purchased a front clamshell with 4.30 gears. I guess I've been putting this off cause I really want to get the gears changed and re-gear them to 4.88's both front and back. Little bit expensive...seems like every time I start to save up some money...some awesome GB comes out or a really neat mod will need to be done or we decided to go on a weekend get-a-way. Then I forget all about the gears until something like this comes up and gets me to start talking about them again I'm really going to try hard to get this done late spring or early summer.


Thanks for all yours and Vince's help. My wife will be working all week in Greeley. Then on Friday we'll being heading down to Castel Rock to see my Aunt. Then Saturday is our sightseeing day....Sunday in the early AM we fly back to Ohio. We'll get a rental car...have no idea what it will be. Won't be any type of cool 4x4 or anything like that. Be some crappie el cheapo rental??? Oh...all this will be happening 1st or 2nd week in March.

Cheers

 

I purchased a set of these Rigid fog light brackets for my 2016 TEP today. Has anyone else run them? I am going to try and use a pair of Baja Designs Squadron Sport lights instead of Rigid Duallys.

 

Can't wait to see how it looks.

 

@SixthSnail is looking to join us soon

 

Lol. You guys are going to be disappointed then. This is probably my last mod to the 4-Runner this year. I have an older LT Tacoma that I focus all my time/attention on.

 

Can't fucking wait!!! Found the truck. Just need to sell mine and it's mine within a day!

 

It will be very slow at first. I'm borrowing a small amount from my pops so I can buy new instead of used. Planning on keeping this truck for a long time so I figured a 0 on the ODO will be worth the extra cash. Gotta pay him back before doing anything major but that won't take me too long.

Planning on putting my sliders on immediately since I already paid them off for the Tacoma but relentless is being a awesome and mixing it up for me by building 4Runner rails instead. Also gonna throw a front runner rack on to hold my tent. Lift will come as soon as I pay my dad back. Planning on ADS or King suspension. Probably do wheels and tires at the same time.

Did you guys know that the dealer gives you TRD Pro wheels as an incentive to buy new for an additional 150? Might add that on

 

I'm gonna buy those pretty quick after I buy mine. I have rigid dually's that I'm gonna rip off my truck before it sells. I can run them.

I totally get that. I got lucky that I have somebody I can borrow from at really low interest.

 

Unfortunately you will more than likely run into fitment issues using their bracket with our lights.
We just got first article samples and will be releasing a 5th Gen 4Runner and 3rd Gen Tacoma fog pocket kit in roughly 1-2 months.

I will post up some more info as we get closer to releasing those kits.

Thanks!

 

Interested! Keep us posted

 

Homer makes a grill for runners?

 

any pics? I'm curious. Maybe we get him to do a batch once I am in possession of a truck!

 

Thanks Bailey. I will cancel my order with Rigid for those brackets. @Baja Designs

 

The 9th I will get my sliders measured out and deposit put down.

 

Yay! That means mine will be soon to follow! Lol
