TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

I'm going to the meet and greet on a Thursday to whip my dick around

 

Damn dude I wanna go but the roof rack isn't done and neither are my headlights. I'm not showing up half assed. Especially with the dude who has our copied roof rack. So hopefully next month!

 

This will be my first time there. Make Aaron drive his Taco

 

Ok, that looks sick. I was a little worried when you started, but worth

 

3rd gen guys. How'd you mount your switches for misc. things?

 

Like what you've done with the rest of the interior

 

Fo sho, boost/afr gauges to the right.

 

@SixthSnail - how do you like that rear bumper? I've been looking online and having a hard time making a decision. I was leaning towards the Shrockworks swing out but then once I saw a dual swing out I was hooked...but struggling with finding a company that offers them without it being custom. I looked at your build thread and saw you went with Relentless - but I don't see where I can order the dual swing out on their site...

I'm curious how you feel about your tires also. I want to get 285/70/17 but I swear I am the most indecisive person on the planet so I haven't narrowed down a brand (or even if I want MT/AT/etc) Just stumbled across this post and was hoping to get some input.

Thank you!

 

Bumper is awesome! I have no complaints. I'm not sure if they have discontinued the dual swing or not, I'd ask @RelentlessFab

Eric and Brittony are both awesome to work with. And they have a sick 5th gen as well.

I love my tires. I had 285/70/17 Toyo Open Country AT II's on my Tacoma and they were great on road, but really really bad in mud. Fine on dirt.

When I bought this it had 285/75/17 Toyo Open Country MT's on it and I liked those, but they were really loud and heavy and I drive in Los Angeles every day.

Now I have 285/70/17 Toyo Open Country RT's. I really really like them. They are a perfect medium in my opinion.

However, if I regear, I'll be trying out the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 285/75/17 again. They are a similar tire to the RT's and Nitto is Toyo's sister company. Both make great products.

I know a lot of people have been getting Falken as well and they seem to love them.

 

Oh when we go he's bringing it haha

We have several people interested in buying our roof rack so I want to make sure it's done before we go to one.

 

I'm a little bit of form too. I like my shit to look pretty.

 

If it works then it works for me.

 

I'm the same way I got some heat shrink today thinking that it would make my wiring better when I decide to clean it up and install the fuse panel I have on a mount I made but I don't want to deal with it all so it'll sit in a box until that one day...

That was a shitty run on sentence.

 

You're doing that shit this weekend

 

sweetie

 

hahha uh oh, lets hear it

 

Oh ya after I do my oil change, diff fluids, your tranny, build a side table for the trailer, finish my new light bar, the volvos cvs, wire up trailer clearance lights, Uca bushings anything else?

 

Eat some beer and drink some pizza

 

that is a must. Might flush my tranny too. I think I'm going to try to do the oil and diffs tomorrow at the hobby shop.
