TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Congrats!

 

Sweet!! That's fick'in awesome that you can do that! Was this a difficult build to do...the 5 inputs? Mine also only has one input. Would love to have more! Thanks!

Congratulations X2!!! One for your house (really for the garage...guys buy garages, the house just come with it..lol!!!)

And the second congrats for getting a Diamond Axle! Is this for a SAS??? That's my dream setup with King coil-overs!! Some day...

 

Nope, it's pretty easy to do actually. Just go on Amazon and but one of those tv input switches. (Super cheap). Then you basically just cut the circuit board for the amount of outputs you need and solder a switch that you can get from Amazon or RadioShack. I'll post photos of it later when I work on that switch plate

 

Congrats, my mother in law is trying to get us into a house right now, but the market sucks out here. Just saw an article saying the median home price where I live is at an all time high....yay.

 

Thanks!

Thanks. The garage was definitely a selling point for me. It's big enough for both of us to park in and have room to walk around both cars on all sides. Which means I'll have room for some tool boxes or shelves. I can also open my hatch fully in it which is nice. One of the best features of the house is the basement. It's nearly 1000 sq/ft and a portion of it has tall ceilings. It's unfinished but I plan to turn it into a giant man cave/gym with rock climbing walls!





Oh, and the axle is for the rear. Tired of the semi-float and drums so going with full float and disk.

Housing is crazy right now. Everything is selling so fast out here. People are offering list price right off or more. Our realtor's son and daughter in law (who we are friends with) just moved out to Cali. His mom sold their house the day it listed for 10k over asking price. Cost of housing is obviously higher out here compared to AR but cost of living is close to the same as far as our normal bills go. Higher pay helps balance it out a little.

 

I want to wrap my rig

 

I would love to wrap mine in Desert Dune.

 

I want gloss black and paint my bumpers matte gunmetal as they come in

 

I wonder how the wraps hold up off-road though.

 

So far my plasti dip is holding up fine on my flares. The bed liner on my slides lasted a couple months. Going to put more coats on them.

 

I was hoping the bed liner would hold up better, not sure if it was the guy who painted it or the bed liner itself. I guess I'll find out soon.

 

I'm pretty sure he didn't prime them and only did one coat. So ill additional costs as needed

 

the rustoleum on my sliders chips off easily. annoying AF

 

@RedRunner87 did you book your camping spot at palo duro?

 

How many layers did you put on?

Haven't had internet the past couple of days

 

I see an army green 3rd gen running around Santa Fe Springs by my shop. He's even got the general star on the doors and hood. Looks pretty clean... for a 3rd gen lol

 

you use any self etching primer or just spray and pray? Mines holding up great.

 

used the same brand of self etching primer also

 

Cut another inch out of the firewall. Welded in a plate, then sealed it up.
