BGR's build thread......

So today i had my radio installed at a shop and also had the windows tinted there
So this is how it looks now as i drive it

I did not have him put the trim back on as i had it off and am replacing the light bulbs on some switches and panel that were out
I will also be adding 12 volt outlet and some usb plugs
I am still looking for some that i like and will work
I am looking to put them on the panel just to the lower eight if ac controls
Anyone put them there????
Had the windows tinted up front
I might want the rears done and blacked out , but don't know the laws or want to get pulled over



Got my ny reg today and put the backup cam where it will stay
Now i just have to wire it and run the wires one day if it ever stops snowing

Here are my weathertechs


Next up will be to fix he doors locking all the time
And the 12 outlets hot all the time mod
And will run wiring up front for all future switches
Anyone know where to get nice factory switches
I know all about ottrawa

 

So i am a former 2nd gen tacoma owner......

she was an 09 off road and i built her up sweet




then she was totaled.....


and now i just picked up a 2003 4runner v8 limited




first thing i did was put my snowboard racks on the factory roof rack



i then hard wired my gps unit.....love this mod...easily removable...and no wires all over..

then i installed my ultragauge....

i then installed a rear hatch open button .so i could escape out the rear hatch if i chose to sleep in there....







i just ordered 2 new chip keys and a key fob.....

i just programmed them today.....wow that was surprisingly easy

so for $25 i got 2 chip keys and had them cut and a new key fob.....

even the window roll down works......woooot




next up will be to install my kings w/700lbs springs ext travel up front

and some icon overland coils and icon ext travel rear shocks.....

and some ready ride uca's....



i also just ordered some cvj axles to replace my stock ones that are leaking ...



next up will be a massive order to rock auto for some inner and outer tre's, new bushings for lca's, idler pulleys, tension-er pulleys, drive belt, spark plugs, front diff oil seals, wheel seals, cabin filter, air filter, ect....



i also just picked up the parts from toyo for the rear diff breather mod....

i will be welding on a rear diff skid plate in the future "when it gets warmer out"



next up will be to install my new pioneer radio and a backup camera.....

this should be fun as it looks like a shit ton of wires






then comes sliders....i think i am going to build my own this go around.....

if i don't do that i'm leaning towards 4x sliders......



then skids, roof rack, bumpers"when i sell a kidney"



i am looking for ideas to mount my oba setup....ita a viar and has a 2-1/2 gal tank......i would also lov to install a retractable air hose

if anyone has any ideas please let me know........



much more to come

 

Whats the beat way to clean up the kings a bit
All in all they don't look too bad for what they live in

i will be going with some treadwright guard dog mt's in a 285-70-17

or if i can run 16's i am going to......and they will be 285-75-16's also in guard dogs.....

i will find out one day when the snow stops and i can dig out my 16's and try them on the runner

also i run kedge grip on these tires......



as for the inner boots...no i have not tried the upgraded boots.....

i have not had a problem with the boots rubbing through....

and cv's are cheap enough...

"well they used to be cheaper....but he "cvj" is having trouble getting the cores back so its like $85 core charge.....

but still not bad for around $150 after shipping charges per axle oem

I need to clean these up and get them ready for times to come
