Updates
One Day I'll get a real camera using a cell is useless.


Going to try and put finished updates here!

So at this point I've done very little just cosmetic stuff here and there a short list below.

- Blacked out most random chrome
- removed running boards
- added 17" blacked out 04 runner wheels
- Nitto AT Terra Grapplers - thanks Josh
- Yak rack
- JDM side markers for S and G's shipped from Thailand for $10

NOT SO Current shots of the Runna -




Looking to improve the suspension soon too.

 

Nice job on removing the chrome. Looks very rugged. Remove the chrome on the grille for when you make front and rear custom bumpers them you''ll yourself one sexy runner.

 

I agree haha!

 

yeah, good looking truck. Where'd you get that rack set up? I basically have the same truck as you, but different color and different headlights... So my truck was deprived of a roof rack

 

HAHA my buddy had it laying around, he had it for he's old Honda Accord all I had to do is replace the feet and it fit pretty good. So far I've hauled Christmas tress and Dinning room tables with it but no bike or boards haha!

Hey how are those headers treating you? Are they worth the buck?

 

do you have a part number for that rack? and can it accommodate a roof basket?


haha I dont wanna hi-jack your thread, but have you seen the videos? amazing upgrade and fun Its a bit stressful when you first start digging into your engine. Plus i'm in cali too, and my system is very illegal... no cat... haha I'd say the headers were worth the stress, sound and result.

I'll see if I can get a part # when I get back home tonight. Man those things are was pricey. I might look into those haha.

It should support a basket no prob....but I've never tried it so don't quote me lol.

 

Okay so I was taking dims last night and I found this thing hanging around I assume its suppose to work with something just not sure what have any ideas?

 

Hey MaK92-4RnR I haven't been able to find a part number for the rack it is kind of old LOL. Your best bet is maybe to run down to Sports Chalet that's what I did they just needed the vehicle and they did the rest.

 

yeah. Im not worried about it. I changed my mind on the rack idea. I wanted one for the trip i'm going on, but I figured i'd put money into a different place on the truck haha

Trying to finish up my Rancho lift set up.

 

Bump to an thread that's a few months old for the answer to the question above w/ the pic.

Those two wires go to the ballast resistor on that t-shaped bracket just above your circle and are a part of the auxilliary A/C cooling fan assembly.

 

Hmmm thanks lol I assume then that it should be attached to function and I also assume I'm in need of a need one!

Thanks again
I've been meaning to update but been really busy with work will post some new stuff soon.

 

Well got a great deal a little while back on a couple things and will post picks soon.
- 17x8 Enkei rt something or others
- 285's Nitto Terra Grapplers which rub the stupid valence thingamajig
- and a niffty air freshener LOL
- also have some PIAA's to install along with some extra stuff my truck didn't come with like some of the letters on the rear license plate panel,and the rear brake light.

And now since summer is on its way I'm going start collecting 3.4 swap stuff! So if you're local hit me up I may need some parts

 

Like I said in my previous post I wanted to do a 3.4 swap, I think I will go a different route not quite sure yet. I've been thinking about just replacing the 3.0 with a newer one and swapping in a Manual trans and re-gearing the rear I'm not sure what kind of improvement this will make but it beats dealing with the Refs....I think. Any opinions would be great more so those with experience dealing with both.

Thanks.

 

if your gonna regear the rear your gonna also wanna regear the front for sure. if you just regear the rear your not gonna be able to use 4x4. nice runner btw

 

Thanks
Will it perform a little better as far as sluggishness going uphill compared to stock configuration?

 

Well I haven't posted any pics for a while so here you go. This is the dirt runner as it stands at the moment starting a set of projects this weekend....like dent removal, sanding and priming etc.

 

Who knew changing a cheap cd player for another cheap cd player could be so messy lol.


I guess $50 can go a long way!

 

As of Nov 5 2010
Then I got to work!
After having multiple coolant leak issues My overheat thread I decided to look my truck over and see what was going on one thing lead to another and here I am:



My pooch!Always hanging out while I bang myself up under this truck lol
Ordered some Gun Metal Gray acrylic urethane last week so I've been sanding for days and still have a lot to go but its fun so who cares!
Picking up the 5speed this weekend cause automatics....well their automatics .
Anyway my leak is still there I'm suspecting a few different scenarios One of which may mean the replacement of the motor but we'll see. Hopefully the paint comes soon so I can prime this bad boy!

Project is finally under way
