Let's see those Barcelona red trucks!

No, Man. Chrome is pure Toyota. That's what makes it a truck.

 

Black is as “pure Toyota” as plastic chrome. Love the chrome on the 80’s trucks for sure. Here’s my factory black 1st gen 4Runner. Also a side by side of my 2nd gen. Color match all the way.

 

Got my SOS Concepts Streamline Bumper installed this past weekend!

 

No pics of truck but next week I'll have some

BLUF: Local Porsche dealership has a "spa" package for $125 even for a big ol long bed truck with a campershell.

Dropping truck of Wed morning. Wash, clay, wax and detail.

Photos to come for sure

 

I need b to update mybtruck in the tread....

 

Took the kayak out for the first time this year. Snapped this shot getting groceries on my way home.

 

Guys what a difference a wash and detail does!!!

AFTER:

 

I weirdly remember where that top picture is. (Used to live in Seaside)
But she looks good. Reminds me how much I need a good detail/paint correction...

 

Keep wheels or go with black trd ones

 

Stranger in the lot. Looks like a 5 lug tho.

 

130k miles and a happy "congrats" to my taco. New 6112 Bilstein's (1st clip), Taco lean spacer, Stainless steel brake lines, OEM LCA, Camber bolts/hardware , Inner/outer tie rod ends, and all of the OEM nuts and bolts to put it all back together again.
I got the work done by my local shop who has been working on the truck for a while.
I got all of the parts fromhttps://toyotaparts.mcgeorgetoyota.com Send them your Vin # and ask for help building a cart.




I picked up the truck today. Holy Hell the difference is AMAZING!!! The front end feels completely different from all of the new hardware. Planted and responsive, no extra movement when pulling into parking lots and going over speedbumps. The shocks still needs to settle some and soften up but the initial stiffness is not terrible at all.


Currently sitting at 1.5" lift with it sitting level front and back. I was expecting at least .75" increase in height from the longer shocks and taco lean spacer. I set the shocks on the 1st clip... "minimal lift". Once the shock settle I will remeasure.

Level truck front and rear w/ 1.5" increase in front height.

Changing all of the front components at once instead of a bushing hear and there made a drastic difference in feel. Adding the stainless steel break lines are a change that are worth while if you have old rubber lines already. I've only had the truck for a little while and it is great. The shiny new bolts and white stickers don't look to bad either.


Some new pics.

 

I personally don't like them at all

 

I love the black TRD ones myself

 

I’ve had her for almost a year now. Here’s my 15 DCSB PreRunner lifted on 5100’s Eibach up front and Dakar’s in the back

 

Here’s mine, SC’d, 6spd, full time AWD. Not your typical TW build

 

The tan soft topper looks real good back there
