Brian757's "StormTrooper" Build

FOREWARNING: PIC HEAVY.
Continue at your own bandwidth's risk.
This is more of a self maintenance record but is also here for everyone to enjoy.

So, I figure that it is never too late to start one of these things and I feel like I am NOWHERE near done with my 4Runner.
Well, I will try to put a timeline together to give you guys a brief idea of how far I have come.

This is one of the most current shots of it.
