First! Looking forward to your build!!!

 

Doing it perfect this time. Couldn't be more stoked

 

Greyed out everything yet to come... I have very little. Also lacking the truck lol.

 

You do have the sliders ordered lol

 

Oh you are right haha

 

I'm in Matt to follow!Good luck!Possibly see the 4Runner at the Overland Expedition(Flagstaff,AZ.)in May 2016!

 

I hope he has his truck sold by then lol

 

Sub'd

 

Looking forward to this build

 

Truck is as good as sold. Meeting up in exactly 1 week to do the transaction. Buyer is flying down from Oregon.

 

Can you guys help me decide on something.

3rd Row seating or no? Here are my pros and cons.

Pros:
Better Resale Value (a lot of people buy 4runners as a family car)
Ability to carry a couple more people a short distance uncomfortably

Cons:
Storage area is not perfectly flat when folded down
1 foot of storage space when in use (I do have the roof rack so this isn't terrible to me as I'll never have them up unless absolutely necessary.

I think that the resale value is a big one. Other than that, I'm kinda neutral.

 

Nah I'd say no third row.. You'll want the storage space flat more than driving that many people

 

I vote yes on the 3rd row seat
You're gonna need it in the long run
I'm assuming you're keeping it forever

 

I LIKE THE NEW SIG

 

Ahhhhh I don't want to choose haha.

 

you better build it right

 

I don't know man. Thinking about lowering it actually... Throw on some 22"s

 

get out
