mine and your idea of the perfect 4runner
Ok so ill get some pics up tomorow cause I know everyone will want to see but here we go a lil summery of what's goin on so far....
About a month ago I went out and got my truck from a crazy old man in the country, said he used the truck to go hunting. Well he must have just drove it to the hunting lodge cause this thing is sweet! Odo reads 158k but it stopped workin no idea how long ago. Its a Gran Ville edition and I've tried to do some research on this but all I know is that a granville is a motorhome built by toyota. Its got a dif back seat in it cb radio had running boards(those were the first to go to make room for tires) and a sweet paint scheme. First day I got it, full tune up, then went and got some 32x11.50 km2s and threw some kc's on my bull guard, last weekend me and low-n-slo(my buddy blaine) fabbed up my assdragger bumper. And just about 15 min ago I got done doin my shady tree snorkel. My next thing I need is a set of 4.88s and a rear locker to start off with then ill see if I really want a front locker. I was thinking of a 3" lift but after wheelin a lil last weekend realized that's not needed. But yeah ill try and get some pics up tomorow and hopefully some of it in action!

I already have bumpers. Look at that steel beam running flush with my tg. Already saved me 2 times too. Sliders def. I just need to get down to bft so we can fab some up. I've got the sleeping bag covered... I need a trailor hitch grill then i'd be set!

if you where you, you would be best off getting:
lockers
sliders
a rear bumper that protects the hell out of your quarter panels
a front bumper that protects the hell out of your front fenders
33/9.50 BFG KM2's
or replace all bumpers and sliders with exo-cage.. I will PM you later on how much your Granville is worth.. but before I do, will you take $7k for it?
