Show us you’re before and after pictures!

bike4miles · 01-11-2005, 05:03 PM

I was thinking it would be cool for everyone to post a picture of their rig when they bought it and another more recent picture to show how far it has come. Maybe have a mod list too. After all, isn’t that a lot of what YotaTech is all about? I will start:

Before (but still after bumper/valance replacement and window tint):

And after:

I know you some of you have really transformed your trucks so lets see it!

**4x4Fink** · 01-11-2005, 06:16 PM

Here's the first pic I took of her when I bought her in 2002...not a single thing had been done except a fresh tank of gas I put in her on the way home.

**4x4Fink** · 01-11-2005, 06:18 PM

Here's a pic I took just after I got the ARB put on...not the most recent one I have but the only one I have had the chance to reduce.

Here's a list of all the exterior mods you can see:

Surco rack, 33x12.50 BFG Mudders, Tech 1 Steelies, clear corners/signals, ARB, Hella 500 Fogs and Driving, 5% tint, downey coils/bilsteins, removed running boards, roof mounted spare, wheelers off-road center caps...I think thats about it. I've got a full list in my profile thread...look in sig if you're interested.

Very nice rig btw, the fenders look great painted

Actually, I haven't taken it out much last year, but it's been moved in and out of the driveway quite a bit. I have a few spots marked, so when I back it into the driveway, it goes back in the same spot.

About the only thing shown here are 265/75 Nittos and the Hella 500's in about Oct of 2003.

And this is about 4 or 5 months ago with color matched trim, scooped hood, arb sahara bar, ipf fogs and ipf 900's, warn winch, stubbs sliders, arb compressor, arb rear locker, lx450 wheels, 285 MTR's, 2" suspension lift, 1" body lift, supercharger, clarion 745 head unit, amp, 12" DVC sub, Fosgate mids/highs... hmmm, I think that's about it...

Jonathan · 01-11-2005, 08:11 PM

Here's mine (not an actual pic, but exactly what it looke like stock)

and now!! color matched bumpers, grill and other accents, custom grill and fogs, Waag push bar, sliders, Limited wheels, scooped hood, lift and BFG's and too much other stuff to even mention.

SteveO · 01-11-2005, 08:32 PM

This 1999 Limited 4Runner, has undergone some pretty wild changes.

Here is the stock 4Runner, and the current project:

Here are some in-between shots:

Since these shots, I have made my own custom front bumper, which makes the front end a tab higher as well.

BeaterToyota · 01-11-2005, 09:13 PM

Here's my junk about 12 years ago. It was super clean with low miles and no damage except the rusted side-view mirror. (I know it's a goofy picture, but my friend and I were taking them to make fun of this dumbass at our highschool that would always lean his head out the window and say, "check for traction, boys.")

Here it is as of today. The only real mods are dual cases and a spooled rear. Oh, and I got rid of the rusty bucket that was the bed.
