    This got the gears in @LarryDangerfield head turning.


    Thanks.
    Tips and pointers from the thread.

    I always thought I did pretty good work but this thread pushes me to do better.
    Normally I would've been impatient and slapped some spray paint on it quick so that it could be installed sooner.

    With all these projects happening, I feel left out and feel I need to spend some money.

    You've come to the right place.

    Edit: When I said this thread "pushes me to do better",
    pushing me to spending more money is a common side effect.

    Lack of money is a common side effect of this thread.

    Man some people are delusional. Someone is selling a 2002 4Runner on Facebook marketplace and it says that it has "some frame rust" I click through the pictures then when I get to the frame pictures there's a hole that I could stick my fist in.....

    Sounds normal to me, 22 years old.
    In 2000 I had an "88" Toyota pickup and back then the boxes rusted around the wheel well. I had a "new" box all lined up for replacement until I leaned up against the front fenders and my hand all most went through. So I traded it in for a new ZR2 Blazer.

    This would be a good vehicle to make @pearing scratching trails a little wider.

    They are fun to drive.

    There is a SRT Cherokee at one dealership and a new TRDORLB at another dealership right now. It's like the angel and the devil thing only it's more like a devil on one shoulder and a mega devil on the other :rofl:

    Friend and I went to see the rally America races in Bemidji back in 2007. We had a blast. That was when Travis Pastrana had just started and he was fresh from X games and doing the first backflip on a motorcycle. He was very approachable and was very gracious with the fans.

    Honest to God, the one and only thing keeping me strong enough to refrain from going out and getting it is the fact that it's a first model year vehicle.
