Sold! The $500 4runner Rehab

This is the look I am going for

 

Mine sits similar to that; if you're not going with any extra weight, I'd gladly sell you my rear OME 906 springs.

They have roughly 1500 miles on them, and won't be of any use since I'll replace them when I get my rear bumper.

 

I may take you up on that. The plan was to get down your way in August but with all the BS going on we haven't left Tahoe/Reno since January last year. Maybe an April trip to Monterey.
As for the extra wait I'm going to keep it pretty stock. I don't need another money pit.

 

That'd work perfectly.

Bumper should be done getting built in Dec so I need to order up my springs already; 890's to support 330lbs over stock.

With the exception of the suspension upgrades on the 1st gen, how would you compare the 4R and the Taco?

I'd say, quiet...solid...stable.

 

Funny thing is I have never driven a 3rd gen 4runner. I'm liking that the 4Runner has a sun roof and other bells and weasels.

My parents bought a 2019 TRD Pro last summer, I drove it for a week felt exactly the same as my 2nd gen Tacoma.

 

She's Alive!
Now on to fixing the front end!

 

Pulled the busted parts off today. Bumper, passenger side headlight, fender, corner light, grill and core support all need to be replaced. Bumper mounts on frame need a little bending back.

 

Snorkel time

 

Picking up parts!!!

 

Got new seats. $100 out with the old in with the new.

 

Just pick up the new grill.

 

So nice to finally get a day off. Did some work on the 4runner. Did some reshaping of the core support. Mocked up the front grill and lights. Still have more to do on the passenger side, I'm happy with the drivers side. Only part i'm missing is the fender that's down in the bay.

 

More parts arriving daily!!!

 

Front end all bolted up and lined up nicely.

 

everyone buying 4runners... i need one dont i?

 

You're not cool enough to sport a 4R

 

You do. Do it!!!

 

I owned one... and scrapped it.. but um.. its was .. dead.

 

He either;

Will find a junker, never really finish it and if he did, he'd just sell it for profit or

Find a runner, and never upfit it with anything cool like the rest of us

That and his Tacoma needs finishing

 

literally was wreaked the same night as my tundra was. bought the tundra and my buddy gave me this thing. sadly.. se was WAY too far gone to fix.
