BSheriff11's 2000 T4R Hood Rat Shit Only

I have commitment issues I guess

 

I mean, I’ve been waiting for LC pics for like 3 years...

 

Where'd the LC go?

 

Texas, someone who collects Land Cruisers came up and grabbed her. Never got comfortable in that thing. When I did the Red Clay Rally in it in 2018 I wanted to die, my legs are too long lol. Plus it was nice having the extra money while the wife and I were trying for kids. So it all worked out. Bought this truck in Charlotte in November for $4500 and it was struggling, so I gave it some love and the usual stuff. Got a few more things to tighten up and needs a test run.

 

sorry I slacked off, Land Cruisers are not my thing, found that out after a 1200 mile weekend

 

lol I'm slow. I hear ya on the comfort, I had to mod the seat to slide back further on my Rover.

 

Wits End made a bracket for pushing the seat back but it was only an inch or two and that definitely was not going to be enough for my legs. I was already knee to chest lmao. It's all good you live and learn. I am glad the LC went to someone who is taking it to Colorado and Arizona, he has sent me some pics. I put as much love into it as the tacoma so it's cool to be able to see it still being used as intended.

 

So quick run down:
2000 T4R Limited, factory rear locker and 170K miles
Bought in November, barely made it back to VA from NC, really should not have drove it lmao.
Put quick disconnects for the sway bars in with all new bushings
305/75/17 Cooper STT Pros and SCS Ray 10 Wheels
Radflo with reservoirs front and rear and OME Springs
SPC UCAs
Rebooted the CVs with Toyota parts
OEM: New LBJs, new diff bushings as well as ECGS needle bearing driver side, bushings all over pretty much, top end motor rebuild, most of the coolant system replaced aside from a few hoses, transmission rebuilt, all fluids replaced. Apple wireless CarPlay, new speakers, and the gasket between the cab and transmission replaced.
Tundra Brake upgrade
Infrared Headlight lamps
LED blinkers and fluid

Need to replace ABS sensor driver side, and seatbelt tensioners

This was couple weeks ago, added complete skids and sliders and front hybrid from Savage Offroad to the 4runner with the help of a friend locally. Really digging Savage Offroad design and welds, would rate it best I have owned honestly.

 

hmmm smittybilt's new XRC3 winch, Ironman's Monster Winch, or splurge for the Comeup winch? Got my head in circles. That ironman and smittybilt have nice price tags for what they are....

No, Not paying for Warn. Never had an issue with them when I owned it, but I like trying different products and being able to give better opinions so these are the options I am considering. I have owned the smittybilt XRC2, but this new one looks slightly better. Ironman one is what I have my eye on spec wise.

 

Comeup is just money to spend money. My old mile marker works great still.

 

I can get the ComeUp for a lot less than retail, but I don't think I am going to do it. I may try the Ironman Monster winch, just because it has a good price and that's where I sit. I was going Ironman, Smittybilt, or Harbor Freight on this truck. Hood rat shit only.

 

Update, smittybilt it is, hard to beat that price

 

Gotta watch schmitty though nah I kinda did this on purpose (had pb blaster on the rusty connections to break them loose and the rusty ass had em sparking)

I have a 75th anniversary power wagon now. I think I might add tires eventually

 

Have any pictures of it?

 

He won't be back on for another 2 to 3 years....
