Just installed the 4crawler spacers

Okay then, It was 930pm when I got off work, Went to put a new upper radiator hose on a friends Lexus, got home around 10pm, had some coffee, under the truck at 1030pm. I couldnt wait till the next morning to install, so i told some friends to be at the house and i would buy the beer, they showed up to find out what we were going to be doing, but thats what you get when we wait to put the clutch in your 87 4Runner till 11pm. Long story short, My rear sag wasn't that bad, but i figured it would look alot better with the rear end up a couple inches, so I bought them. Here is some pics for 'ya, I'm just so proud I had to share! Kinda hard to tell with black rims, also, believe it or not, i took the after pic with my phone.

Well thanks for the comment on the paint, she is clean as all hell, interior is cherry too, i will take some pics of it tomorrow.

Ya, i did crank them a little, an inch over stock, the Mrs. let me buy all new shocks too. this was a great pay-day. She let me do everything i wanted for the time being. New shocks, rancho 5000's, rear is 1 inch over stock, the spacers, royal purple for the engine, K&N oil filter, royal purple for the diff's, and even let me buy a CB. I tried for two new rear tires (fronts are a brand new), but she wasnt having that this pay-day.

haha, nice. I've been buying all my parts over time so my girl doesn't complain too much. I think i'm going to browse the local flea markets for a CB radio soon. It would definitely come in handy when i have no cell reception in case of an emergency.

but if i could input my $.02, i HATE it when vehicles have black rins AND black wall tires... it really looks like your truck is up on jackstands...

but other than that, it looks great...

it doesnt have rims and tires, it just floats! White 4Runner's are lighter.

Very clean interior.

I wish mine was like that. So many random stains in the back cargo area. And a coffee spill up front.

Nice sub too. I have 2 10'' JBLs in the back of mine. I only wanted one but cartoys had a 2 for 1 deal a while ago so why not haha.

I painted those grills black, looks alot better now.

Nice I cant wait to get the 15s in my runner. I think my brother wants to buy them off me though so maybe Ill sell them and get 2 JBL 12s. I've always wanted a JBL system.

Nice steering wheel, I hope that stupid horn button doesnt give you problems. Mine likes to fly off in the wee hours of the morning. This ofcourse leads to the wire grounding out and my horn lays on constantly till I realize whats going on, run outside and rip the fuse out.... Wee!!!

Nice truck though!

i had two 12 inch mtx subs in a bandpass with a sony 1200. It was too much, i couldn't hear Maynard, Kenny or Alan's voices over it. I'm more into the words in the song, and i blast my a/c so windows up! The single ten with all kicker mids and highs is just perfect.

yes it did... But on another note, i love this particular wheel, have installed it on all my yota's, not one for cruise control, fell asleep twice before using it on a long drive, so i really dont want it in any of my vehicles.
