    Damn your deals. Man, your billies are tempting but I think I'm gonna wait for Ramon to start his stupid Coilover GB. If you still have them later I may snag them but don't wait on me.

    Haha that one was a lucky local find. No worries on the bilsteins, people love that set up so I'm not worried it won't sell.

    This doesn't look good for the Mudrunner....

    And no Ramon that is completely unrelated to my mudding so don't even go there

    Mud can be more corrosive than water.

    Mud didn't cause that though. That's battery acid corrosion. I took it to a shop right before the hg blew and they fucked up my charging system. Destroyed my battery too

    Yeah...sucks! Lived it almost 30 years!

    That is by far the best mod I've done...Supercharger!! Even my wife said I should have gotten the SC sooner!!! Makes it so much nicer to drive the 4Runner...grin hear to hear!

    See...you need a SC...you want armor...hahaha!!

    Oh yeah...very beautiful women!!
    My Daughter went to UK...so I wear UK stuff from time to time so I feel like I have something to show for the $60,000 I spent there. I tell people this is my $60,000 hat....hahaha...ouch!!
    changed the oil every 30,000 miles...other than that
    I bought the 7th injector...but haven't used it. She just sings away under the hood...such a sweet beautiful whine!!
    5. Give it to RussToy...hahaha!!

    Reminds me of Good Will Hunting when the main lady character says she now has a brain worth $250,000 after all of her schooling haha.

    I really want a supercharger but I also want to finish my armor and finish my front suspension off. No real money to spend on maintenance so it's just what I find more important. Only thing is, I'm not even sure. The $3k+ I'd spend on a supercharger is a bit of a draw back for sure.

    I had to get the freon recharged. I don't know about you but I don't have a freon machine in my garage lol

    And shut it lol. When I got the car there was actually nothing even securing the battery. It used to slide into the belts. I have since installed a plastic battery box that was bolted down. The acid drained out where the bolts were

    Have any function to it or is it more as an appearance thing?
















    @ramonortiz55
    Not sure whether or not you're the guy to ask but you're my best guess...
    Any clue if 4xinnovations or savage would be in for a group buy?

    Yes, for sure. Even if you have to push it off until summer. I'm in no immediate rush and won't have the funds to do anything till later anyways.

    Matching asses? :notsure:
