Looks great SR5, looks like the truck is in great shape overall. What did you use to take your stripes off? I love the simplicity of plain white

Thats a really clean truck. I wish mine was still that clean.. As for the body parts you need, Id give Certifit a call, we used to use them down in SLC and they are really cheap. You have one up in Tukwila... I had to buy a bumper for a honda last summer while I was down in SLC and it cost me $19.00..

Thanks i will give them a call and see what they have


and yea i know i was thinking the same thing today....but its not fished so will see how shee turns out, but if you have any seggestions id like to hear them.....also i was thinking of installin the factory roof rack and rear "spoiler"



i used a knock off version of the 3M stripe remover, its half the price and works well, go to your local auto paint supplier they will have one


As far as set in stone plans...im installing the same Blue LED into my dash that i had on my old rig, along the with the alpine deck and rear 6x25 speakers

SR5

well i thought id post an update





got her stripped down ()


and before i went any further i though i would be good time to check the timming belt and water pump and looked almost new

SR5

(if you wana see more and how to do it just click here )

Looks great, you doing a build thread? One thing to do is get some lockouts on that, save ya some money on gas as high as it is now adays...

I had a 87 4wd truck and in 98 I t-boned a gal in an intersection and after insurance was taken care of I bought a 4runner inner doghouse, radiator support and inner fenderwells all still attached together for 200 and removed old one and installed new one and boom never could tell it was every totolled by insurance company, but It still had a clear title.
So I know totally what your going through on your new runner, It's a heck of a job, I bet it'll look great when your done!!!! Good luck and have fun!!!!

SR5

and ya im doing built thread, figure might as well, theres alot of work to do on it, but its alot of fun


and ya the lower tensioner was stuck open, had to order a new one, but sence i dont wanna take the belt off, ima leave the upper one alone.
