TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

am back, nothing broke. Good times were had. Nothing to fix either.

 

Want to add an auxiliary fuel tank like dirtco in the spare tire location. Keep that plus mine instead of that plus 4 link cause I don't need 4 link

 

You already have a 4link. Get under there and count!

 

'Unlike'

 

Don't hate!
How's that alternator doing?

 

Keeping trans temps low. Facts

 

Method wheels are at the sandblaster. And my MTR deal fell through, so I need to order Falkens instead

 

No sidewall issues but I have chunked the tread a little. I absolutely love them, couldn't be a better tire in my opinion

 

Alright maybe they're a little egg shaped and they don't balance ever. But off-road performance outweighs that

 

Anyone go from 4th gen to 5th gen? I keep telling myself not to buy anything else (just got my 4th gen in January) but the 5th gen is extremely appealing and would mean I could sell the WRX and daily the 4R, then buy a cheap fun car later on. I've driven a few 5th gen.'s but they've always been too expensive, now that they're dropping into the low $20ks and below in some cases (or so Autotrader tells me) they're in my price range...though the cost of adding all the stuff my 4th gen has (armor, wheels/tires, etc.) is not easy for the wallet to swallow. The 5th gen is so tempting to buy and plan to keep for a long while, and to use as a road-trip and overlanding hub, but the idea of beating up a new-ish truck off-road kills me...maybe I'll just wait a few years and get one then

 

i have too much invested to just start over on a similar platform just to have something newer.

Plus the 5th gens headroom sucks

 

Agreed on the headroom but only if you are over 6'3". I'm right at the roof, about 1/2 inch to spare and I'm 6'3". @LTDSC is a freakazoid giant.

Other than that, I wish the 5th gen was a V8, but I like it.

 

ordered BajaKits pivot gussets....finally

 

You should be used to ducking, you're tall. 5th gen ftw

 

chronic neck/back pain aint my favorite.

 

I'm like 5'9" on a good day so headroom isn't a worry haha. Get what you're saying though. I bought mine used and at a hell of a price so it's similarly hard to spend a lot on a new rig and mods, just from a different perspective

Didn't know that...but great to know, could make things easier

 

Tires ordered. Spending spree officially over.

 

Methods, an RTT, 37's, ballistic joints I don't even know what else. I hate myself thats for sure hahaha

 

The mud terrains. M/T01 I believe
