Pics!!!!

1997 4runner V6 4WD SR5. Bought last week totally stock w/137,000 miles.
Put on a toytec 3" OME coil lift, diff drop, panhard relocate, rack bushings, hunter brushguard, and my favorite, 16x8 TRD wheels with 265-75-16 Toyo AT's. The ride is better than stock and also better than my old 98 4runner. By the way this is gonna be the wife's DD. It's what she wants. I just think it needs HELLA lights in the front.

Without further adu.........

Looks good, but take off the running boards and it'll be 10x better!

was just wondering if yours was worth the 200 from them opposed to 500 dollar brush guards like WAAG.


also very nice 4runner

take off running boards, and step up to 285s, then it'll be even better...

That looks like one sweet DD. I think it looks perfect, some Hella's would finish the look though. Clean truck.

Thanks for the comments guys. The brushguard seems to be of good quality, it doesn't shake too much at all. I would like the look of the 285's but I don't like it that my only option is an 8 or 10 ply tire. I like the ride of the P metric 4plys ALOT better. As I side earlier the ride is WAY better than it was. Also I have not tagged it yet, so alot of people keep asking if it for sale on the lot.

Looks very clean! I'd get some clear corners & signal lens, and I'd put one of those black spoilers on there that I thought came stock on all 4Runners? But I dunno..

Looks good.......Put an ARB Bull Bar on. We can have it powder coated to match. He is my Gen 4 with one on it.

I think it looks a lot cleaner without the black spoiler. Does anyone know if they all came with one or what the deal is? Mine doesn't have one and I don't see any evidence that one was ever mounted. What purpose do they serve?

I think it looks kind of plain without one, but I think they are just for looks. I'm not sure what purpose they serve?

I know I am getting old when I don't know what the "D Edge forums" is. I probably don't want to ask either. So to answer the question I would have to say no.
