Thats a good idea! 
Think I will have to do that, The grill would look better black. The front bumper is gonna hit the dumpster though, got one from tg on the way and the rear to match! o yea! Didn't know you could get led reverse lights, I will definataly look for some. And thanks Fink! Its nice to hear some positive words dude 
!! On the rims, are you talkn about the aluminum or steelies?

As far as the LED reverse lights, the hardest part will be finding some that fit in the stock location.
This guy has some circular ones he mounted on a bumper he made - granted I think it's a Jeep.
The wheels I'm talking about are these.
Check out what AZkid did to his wheels.

Holy crap those are hot! You know what suck? I just sold a set of those! They were in bad shape though, would be better off using a different set anyway. 
Have to see if I can find some yo

Would look sweet on there with those new bumpers.
I've purchased a set of Lexus rims from Colorado Wheel Company before and I personally recommend them.
They can bet a bit pricey but they only sell immaculate wheels from what I have seen.
If you do order from them, be sure you tell them you would prefer a matching set (all from the same rig) - that will help with any color variation.
Good luck!
Fink
Gonna go have a beer to the runner!

Your 4Runner looks amazing. Great work. If you are going to do bedliner at the bottom, there's a brand called Raptor that you can tint with paint prior to application. I think it would look nice to have the bedliner match the paint.

Good find. That taco is my mall crawler! There isn't a speck of dirt on the frame rails! I know! I know! What a waste! Daily driver, cant tear it up

To everyone who are monitoring this project, I am taking a breather for a little while till summer gets outta here. Gonna collect up a few more parts and then start choppin and hackin! I have most of the stuff for the sas, still deciding on the rear lift and what type of lockers to go with. Ive already purchased the tg kit for the front, then read a guys thread with a coil spring sas! Man that thing is cool! Now Im having 2nd thoughts on the tg kit! decisions, decisions!

Have a question about motor swaps. I can get my hands on a 99 2.7 liter out of a prerunner really cheap. Would I be able to bolt up my tranny? Is this a powerfull enough engine? What has to be modified to make it work.
I can get the whole truck, and it is complete.

Reviving the old thread, Lost of things have changed with my situation over the past year and I really hate to do this, but im thinkn about selling the 4runner.
Need some help deciding what to ask for this stuff, would rather sell as a package deal if i could.
lots of goodies,
3inch trail gear sas kit
529s, 2 sets
sliders
rebuild kit for rear axle
instal kits for gears
v6 housing for sa
gear drive tcase
extra undamaged grill
3.4 engine( needs rebuilt, one head is bad, no electricals)
84 solid axle welded up, blasted and ready for paint
Lots of little things im forgetting
Have no idea what to ask for all this, could use some assistance on pricing, will post a sell thread when I get that figured out.
The reson for the sale, laid off and in school and need the money.
The 4runner runs fine, typical 3.0, all the suspention and drive line is stock.
The winch, lights, and rack in the pick are not part of the deal, of course money talks though
