    Hey there, new to the site, so figured I'd make a quick post.

    We currently have an 03 4Runner, 96 Tacoma, and 76 FJ40. I have been working on the 40 for about 4 years now, but it's almost complete. I posted a couple pictures of it in a tire and wheel thread, but wanted to share a few more for guys that like older Toyotas.

    Anyway, here are some of the larger details
    2UZ iForce V8 swap
    SCS F5 3.5"BS wheels
    F&R ARB lockers
    4+ and ARB bumpers
    All LED lighting
    OME/Bilstein suspension
    A/C, cruise, power seats, heated seats, so on
    Dakota Digital dash
    Metal Tech cage


    Current picture. Will add more of the build process below!
