Nice ride man! Hit that thing up with some fender flares, unless of course you don't like the look or the wheels rub against it.

Looking good! One question though, do you have your grill guard and tailight guards painted the same colour as your rig? About the teddy bears, I think you got to take off the clear part of the decal, but not to sure. Either way you got a sweet looking rig!

Hey thats a pretty cool driveway...is it just an addon to your normal driveway? I have a 2 car garage and a 1 car drive way...and 5 cars. I was thinking about just adding something like that next to it or on the other side of the house...got any more pics of it?

Ohh...nice truck too!!

I do wheel it actually. Although about all we have close by here is mud and clay. I bought the wheels, because I wanted 8 inch wide and I got a deal to get them for maybe 100 bucks more than rockcrawlers would have cost, at about half the weight.
Don't know why I am replying to you though. As for the grill guard, I actually bought that from a dude that had it painted to match the lower body cladding(sp?) on the limiteds. It is a bit darker than the SR5, but looks pretty good in person. It is for sale actually as I have seen the light(TJM). Check for sale if interested. Proceeds will go to RB and/or cornfed.
Thanks for the compliments.
Aaron
Oh yeah, that is my driveway It sucks but I rent, so I can't do much about it.

Something like 90% of 4Runner owners never take them wheelin'. Ever heard that stat? It's too nice and new IMO to be beat to hell wheelin' it. Maybe in 11 years it will be outfitted with a SA, locked, geared, with 37's.

Anyhow - it's a free country (partly due to gents like AFRunner), so folks can express themselves by how they outfit their vehicles or by posting dopey comments like yours.

Thanks again all. What would you all suggest for fender flares. OEM type, bushwacker, etc? Once these tires wear, I will be going to 33x12.50 TRXS MT's most likely, so I'm going to need some coverage to protect my flanks.

I can take some if you really want. But that is pretty much it. I rent a duplex so, my options of improving it are nil. I can fit exactly 2 1/2 cars. What part of St. Louis you from. I grew up in Eureka and went to SLU, lived in at Kingshighway and Lindell for a couple years. I hi-jacked my own thread. D@*m!

Haha...no pics needed. I was just kind of wondering how it worked with the house...location, pathway? I think Ive got the picture though.

Im actually from all over (Detroit, New Orleans, Bama, Colubus, list goes on and on), BUT I went to SLU (Parks). Im actually getting married at College Church this July...reception at the "new" Coronado. I live out in Creve Couer now...work out in O'Fallon (yeah...long drive).

I just think Mr. Laxative (statelax3) is jealous of your SWEET lookin ride. But I agree with Cebby about taking that thing wheeling...I would HATE to get that even a SPEC of mud on that nice looking thing. I mean shoot I have a '95 and it kills me when a new scratch/dent/chip appears...I would probably kill myself if it happened to a nice ride like yours man!

NICE RIG!

They are nearly buffed out, but I've got 3 one-two foot scratches down the lt side from a week after I bought it. A mud hole sucked me up against a tree. Oh-well, thats what there made for. My last truck was an open diff Pre-runner(the only non 4x4 truck I've ever owned). Swore I would never do that again. I like to play too much.

Welcome, Noobie! Some things are better left unsaid.

AFRunner, That's a nice looking rig. I remember when was stock. Paid it off and passed the warantee and all of a sudden it started to change, like a black chameleon. hehe. you'll see.

I not a fan either, I was actually connecting those bears to ... maybe rainbows or something. I thought The Dead was a tie-died starburst looking thing.

Keiser,

Unfortunately, Statelax isnt really a noobie. His rig is a 2nd Gen SAS'ed with about 8 inches of lift (correct me if I'm wrong). If you wanna get back at him, don't call him a noobie, just call him a fat guy who played lacrosse for a ˟˟˟˟ty highschool (North Meck blows).

Dave
