Crap. I will do that now

It's the details of these diesels that drive you crazy when looking for parts.
Cant even get the AC coolant since its illegal.
I am doing my best to get all my parts ready for 1st and 8th.

 

Here are the pics! Thanks to @Texoma for the install help and @wagerhope for the Rigid brackets!

Looks bad ass man!!! And hella bright!

 

Looks awesome man! The fogs are a good touch

 

That looks gooooood.

I love that color too.

 

I love this.

 

I've been debating those same colors since the day I bought mine. I was hoping to wrap/dip it before I suffered any trail damage so that it'd be nice and preserved underneath.


So much for that...

 

Nice! @medjah Where did you buy the headlights and fogs from if ya don't mind me asking? I want to do this similar mod by the end of the year hopefully! Was this the ultimate headlight upgrade? and ultimate foglight upgrade haha those things are sweet!

 

Think I have a buyer for the softtopper

 

Local?

 

Yupp! Dude from Austin. Coming tomorrow to seal the deal

 

Nice! That didn't take very long!

 

No I didn't think it would and the guy is coming to me and I'm installing it for him.

 

Who is this? Saw today

 

So I decided to stop at one of those coin operated car washes on the way home to give the Runner some love and it was a disaster. I put like $8 in and it either broke or ran out of time right after I finished soaping the whole thing down.

I mess with it a minute and then see somone is next to me and I am short literally a quarter to get it going again and rinse it off. I peep around and see its a 3rd gen runner so I was thinking "score! My people to the rescue!". Not so much. I ask him for a quarter and he says "Sorry I've only got $100 bill" so I say "Thanks anyway" and hop my ass in the Runner and start driving home all soaped up.

I get home and see I have a message on Facebook. It's the guy from the bext car wash stall who is on one of the 4runner Facebook groups with me. He was like "I thought that was your Runner. If you hadn't left I was only rinsing mine off real quick I would have let you use the rest."

At that point I was just irritated with the heat and my soap caked runner and everything and was like "I appreciate the thought".



You can see the "beauty marks" from the trail a lot more when it's clean. Still needs to be played, polished and waxed badly but even a little soap and water makes her shine.

 

Has anyone seen this yet? Could be interesting...
