TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

More for efficiency.

To swap the wheels to my current nasty highway tires is about what one new 275/285 AT tire costs. So, that's just wasted money, especially if I can buy tires on a sale.

I don't have rear shocks or rear coils, so no point in installing the front coilovers.

The rack I could put on anytime, I have help installing it. I just have a herniated disc so not happening anytime soon.

Little interest in my current wheels either, so that's another part. If someone wanted to buy them, I'd switch wheels out. But, nobody wants them and those that do want me to take $100 before they even see the things in person, so I'll just burn the rubber off of them and then sell them later.

 

Will.

 

Once I purchase a lift for my 2nd gen taco - BOOM - instant overnight build.

So far, I have hoarded:

1. Dual battery setup - Minus batteries.
2. Switchpros
3. Bed bars
4. Dual ARB compressor
5. UCAs
6. Extended Brake lines
7. Front Diff Drop
8. RTMR fuse box
9. Switch panel
10. Winch
11. Rebuilt CVs
12. Roof Rack
13. Lights
14. more lights
15. and more lights.

 

oh and full skids

 

no. I dust them regularly.

No dust collection.

 

Ahem,

I drove the Tacoma to work all this week so far

 

I don't plan on going too deep for now. Similar build as the Tacoma was.

Depending on funds, I may change rear coil direction, but either way.. it's going to sit until summer or end of summer before it gets parts on. Hoping for now, my back heals quick and I can take my daughter camping this summer for the first time, then a second baby coming in August just a few weeks after my daughter turns 2.

In the mean time, I need a bigger tent and various, unknown but necessary whatnots.

 

No,

Wife and I seriously considered it, She's only been to California once, and she wants the next trip to be a road trip.

If it would've landed during summer (probably too hot), spring break or thanksgiving week, we definitely would've gone. She works for the school district, so it is really hard to get any days off any other times of the year.

 

That's everyday Texas summer weather.

PLUS

100% humidity.

Hell, it was 90 degrees yesterday.

 

I hope that when I die, I'm not reincarnated as your driver seat.

 

Rule #1 about hot cars in Texas.

Never touch the metal portion of the seat belt buckle.

Ever.

 

If you wanna fuck someone up, sit in the back seat and press that buckle onto their neck as they get in.

 

It's the door seam where panel meets exterior sheet metal that always get me.

Then I have a red burn line on my forearm for 4 days and people just ask if it's a shitty tattoo.

 

Rule #2

Avoid leather.

That booty hole gonna be getting steamy reallllllll fast.
