Nice to see chicks getting down n' dirty on the trails.
Lol just realized you name was 87 "ho" runner. Ha haa

Hey are you planning to get a new hood and fenders? Almost looks like you guys were trying to prep it for a paint job or is all that just to cover up rust damage?

Edit: missed the "E" on you name. Not funny to me anymore lol

 

Better hope those springs settle some. that shackle angle aint quite right. At worst you'll have to re-do your front hanger like i did ... idk maybe once you get the rear level it'll fall back some.

 

Got one at the cleaners...... why not? hahaha. I need to detail it again before going out for a trail run next time.... Bit of bushwack and such.... which the Hard Carnuba BEAUTIFULLY keeps from becoming 'literal' scratches......

 

 

Hey everyone, My name is Greg and this is my first REAL post to YOTATECH! I gotta say I'm pretty stoked too lol. You guys have helped me a ton in the past. I am a long time reader but have been dragging my feet as far as the joining process lol.

Well here she is: 1994 Pickup DLX, 22RE, no lift, pinch weld mod, New 33x10.50 r15 BFG's 4:88s front and rear
(Cross your fingers the photos work this time lol)

 

^^ My Brother and Dad ^^

 

GTB, what wheels are those!

 

Chef your truck almost makes me mad...its too clean. Please fix it

 

Nice truck you have there. I always loved that body style and tried to find one but stumbled on my runner.

 

LOL! Didn't you see the pics and video a few pages back? It was FILTHY! It almost brought a tear to my eye seeing it so muddy. Partly from the joy of seeing it having so much fun in the mud, and partly from knowing how much work it would take to make it clean again. Looks like it never happened now.

 

Oh no i saw, its just upsetting how mine never makes it back to being that clean!

 

I don't think anyone's does. Not even his. He probably has two identical trucks, one for dirty pics and one for clean pics.

 

If iirc, the toyota red wasnt clear coated? So it always buffs out real nice.

 

MOTOCROSS,
Those are actually the stock enkei wheels that came on the DLX models. They just look great with my new tires lol XD XD

 

Gizler00,

These are my favorites as well. There isnt really any way to make them look bad lol. 33s, 29s, stock hieght, lifted, LOL I love them all.
As a wheeler it cant shape up to that 4 runner though lol Sick ride man

 

I think you're right, most of the older red 4runners and pickups i see are horribly faded probably because of a lack of clear coat. I detailed cars for a while and that faded red takes A LOT of work to get shining again. And I've said it before that I'm not a big fan of red, but Chefs truck is SEXY! You just don't see them that shiny.

 

new to me 35 inch goodyear wrangler mtrs. he wanted 800 for wheels and tires. traded him my 31 inch toyo all terrains and steel wheels and 300 dollars cash

 

Hahahaha.... thanks, guys! Always feels good to know it's appreciated(the work I put into it, detailing or otherwise )

I do believe it's clear coat free... but I can't know that for sure. I've just always, for 12 years and 168K Miles, always kept GOOD UV paste wax on it.... Used to use Mothers all the time, but now I believe Meguires has one of the better ones. When it begins to oxidize(which is does PRETTY QUICKLY on the driver side), I hit it with TR8..... Most parts stores still have it and I SWEAR by it, guys.... Take that stuff and a rotary buffer...... HOLY CRAP, it takes the 'PINK' out if it pretty quick! Then Meguires Carnuba wax & polish, the better paste they have. I use the buffer for that, too. Another tip I learned long ago...... For taking wax off without too much work? Corn Starch! Shake a bit onto that rag and see whatcha think on a test spot? REMOVES THAT STUFF LIKE A HOT KNIFE THROUGH BUTTER!

Another thing I've noticed...... The passenger side of EVERY ONE(2nd Gen PU or 1st Gen 4runner)... that I've owned that wasn't white? ALWAYS FADE! And most that I see, same thing. the passenger side and hood, FINE! Whole driver side? Oxidizes pretty fast.. IT HAS to be something they screwed up on thousands of them at the factory or something,...I'd guess. Can't say for sure, ...but, ,..... never know, I could be right! hehe.

Thanks again, guys.... That's NOTHING, far as the dirty factor that day.... You should have seen my white one after a 5 week trek through the Sierras, down from Mammoth, over back and forth, down to Death Valley, etc. It was crazy filthy, inside and out! lol..... I just figure.... if it's capable of looking clean.... and if it's my daily driver.... why not keep it clean?

That looks really good, Yota864x4

Hey guys, I got my 4runner rebuilt finally. She wasnt running for about 10 months, and was in the process of rebuilding her since the end of July. Got her started this last wednesday, and fully buttoned back up tonight. Running great! I'm so stoked! My Tundra will now go to being my second vehicle/winter beater.

The 22re feels SOOO gutless compared to the 2uzfe (4.7L v8)
