TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

this looks fkn awesome

 

Why? Everyone knows if you want LT you buy a full-size pickup

I wanna wheel it soooo badly. Hopefully Sunday

 

shit i love my van now that it has LT. It did amazing in Pismo and now that my first trips done i can go a little harder next time.

 

Noooo buy a full size

 

i desperately dont want to start over. Thats too much money at this point. Only reason for me to get a fullsize is to tow this van around to beat on.

 

True. You’re also trapped in an apartment too though right? Need a driveway for 2 trucks

 

yep stuck in an apt thanks to wonderful CA cost of living.

brutal to make good money but still be stuck to an apt.

 

One of the reasons I’m sticking around for a masters. Not fully ready to adult yet.

 

not to burst thy bubble but no position i've held has needed any degree's. Nobody to impress at my office as im one of the boss'

 

Really depends on the field. Solar is utility based aka government aka degree requirements.




@AssBurns is right though. That battery has got to go. Might just engine cage the bitch.

 

Since I still owe med bills, I thought about selling the 4runner and buying a first gen tundra like @SCRunner12. I found an awesome one. Black 2005 Double Cab Limited with 80k on the clock.

Was close to pulling the trigger, ran a carfax, aaaaand of course it is a salvage and not advertised as one.

I did a few calculations and if I sold the runner for what I think it could pull, bought the tundra, did suspension, tires, wheels, and a bed cover, I'd come out with 5k to throw in the bank after paying all my bills and zeroing all of my debts. Was really feeling it.

But we will see if something else comes up.

Also totally feel you on the CA living man. With the Fiancee in SC now I feel it even more. Her whole 3 bed apartment is 1000 bucks a month with a 30 dollar security deposit...

Hyped for Pismo! Supposed to be 80 with a low of 60 so hammock camping between the runner and my buddies jeep for sure!

 

hopefully its not too windy, looks like a good weather weekend.

 

The wind looks like 20mph tops and that is at 12pm. Nights should be calm.

 

ooofff thats windy. was maybe 10mph for me last trip.

Bring riding goggles

 

Got old snowboard goggs haha

 

Hey guys, I'm graduating in Dec. thinking about getting a 5th gen T4R, what do you guys think about them? Worth it or not.. I want to build an overland runner.

 

I like it! I think it is a better rig than my old tacoma

 

I approve this message, 1st gen Tundra FTMFW!

 

Find me one that isn't a salvage. I'm tired of pulling carfax and it coming up salvage

 

You watch your mouth in this house mister!
