wow wish i could do that.. congrats enjoy it!. drooool !

 

Those rims don't do it for me, I wish yota would have put a lil more 3rd gen influence into them. Nevertheless, I really like where you're going with your rig, it's looking great!

 

Itd look even better with black rims, completely blacked out.

 

you should go back to the dealership with it dirty and tell them you got stuck in 3 feet of mud and your not happy about the 4 wheel drive and want your money back and see what they say! lol

 

I took it in recently for the 5000 miles service, and there was mud stuck above the skid plate that im sure rained down once they put the truck on the lift... the manager said I should be taking my truck offroad like that.... my TRAIL edition... i was like, um ok buddy

 

LMAO

I was just thinking the same thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is now my wallpaper


Man that thing is just down right SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

don't recall seeing that photo on t4r, hawkdog... that thing is sweet!

 

Tell them you want a diesel 5spd solid axle Landcruiser

 

I'd have to say that, with a little bit of 'up-armour', perhaps a turrent (sunroof) and the U.S. Military should be loosing the 'hummer's' and taking on this rig!

 

Love the truck, looks killer!

 

manager prolly just ment you shouldnt be taking your runner off road YET.. i assume the engine and stuff needs a few miles to seat everything and they suggest varying the revs and blah blah for some many miles..


that is one bad ass runner and obviously it should be used off road its the trail edition..what kinda bumpers you getting?

 

I agree with both of yall, so I bought a set of 17" alloys off an FJ cruiser and took them to the powdercoater last week to get them coated in a dark gray metallic color. I had to special order the powder so im still waiting for that to come in, but I think I will have the wheels on my truck by the end of the week. Pics will be the first thing I do.

I am still not sure about the bumpers, shrcokworks built a prototype bumper and it looks alright and I am not totally sold on it and ARB has theirs out but again, im not totally sold on it either, so It is still a waiting game. I sadly dont have any good rock shops near me in NC so going custom on my own is not really an option.

 

Looks amazing! Cant wait to see it with some new wheels on it

 

It is totally awesome and helped me close my decision against Exterra and the JK Jeep.

 

Here is a crappy cell phone pic the the new wheels and painted rear emblems. I will take some better pictures with my nikon soon, as well as some other write ups for things I have done.

Your truck is looking nice....

 

Wow. I'm impressed. The wife may be getting a new runner sooner rather than later.

 

We do have some SFA, diesel, armored Landcruisers. They're pretty nice but 90% of them are for civillian contractors.

 

Any other new mods Hawkdog?

 

Sliders are in the mail as we speak...

Rear bumper and tire carrier is in the works (currently in cardboard/CAD stages) and I should be getting full skids around that time as well...
