TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Can't remember if I Introduced "Betty white" aka my 3 yeear Olds offroad truck as he calls it. He helps me wrench and is seemingly more obsessed than I am! Anyway got the lift, wheels, tires, spacers, and ditch lights on.

Just re-purchased the 2000 model grille, insane fab cb mount, and Bluetooth obd2 reader from the guy I parted my old runner to.

 

Quite the name to live up too . Looks good though

 

Doesn't have to live up to it....

Just needs to live s long time haha

 

Who did the uni strut roof rack in here? I saw Someone had a writeup on it.

Looking to do the same thing.

 

Touché. Good point. The older ones are hard to kill so should be alright there. Yotas... Not Betty whites...

 

@rjsimz

@ERMB did the original idea/thread.

 

That would be me, questions?

 

Funny story. Took months of research when I first joined tacoma world to figure out what yours and other usernames alike meant...

 

Oh buddy. I will save those for tomorrow.

Didn't you do a writeup on it? Link?

Only thing I really didn't understand was how exactly you attached it to your factory crossbar points.

 

I do not have a write up. I posted some about it in my build thread but I'm honestly too tired to look. I'll tag you in it in the morning though.

The attach points are a little confusing and I'm redoing mine to make it sit a little higher than it is. When I send it your way, I'll go into detail about how I'm mounting it

 

Woot got a Tepui Kukeman Sky for $400 today! Now I'm one of the cool kids.

Are the stock roof rack bars strong enough to hold the tent/occupants? Might have to look into roof racks now.

 

Your craigslist deals are ridiculous

 

This was a local member doing a fire sale.

Hoping everything is alright.

 

Yeah this. I by chance was awake last night at 12:45 with my daughter and he had just posted it so I jumped on it. Luckily I was heading his way anyways today so it worked perfectly. Also picked up my 255 KM2's and FJ wheels and replacement fender for the 4runner.

 

I recently added a winch bumper, winch and skid plate. It caused my front end to drop a good inch. Today I armed myself with the spanner wrench, a 3' cheater bar and a can of WD-40. After 45 minutes or so it was back to the stance I had before.

 

Very Nice!! Is that the SSO slimline? That's the one I have my eye on. Don't want to lose the front angular aspects. And I really wanna do the Prinsu rack too

 

I didn't really like my skinnies that much. Pretty scary in the rain. Wouldn't mind trying the KM3 if they ever release it though

 

The MTR's are the best loose shit tire I've ever had. But get them wet and you're fucked

 

That's relentless. I've heard that the SSO one is not very strong. Similar price. I know somebody who owned both and the SSO flexed out when winching.

Plus relentless adds clearance where the other actually takes it away.

 

Haha I just read pages of @jberry813 talking about how terrible MTRs are
