Clint, a DD might be in the plans... but the 4Runner won't be sitting for much longer. once finals are over it's time to get it back up and running.

no progress yet... but a pic did surface from tank trap, pre-roll:

well, progress was finally made this weekend...

pulled the plugs, spit some oil out, and the 3.0 started right up once everything was back together. smoked for a couple hours, but she's running like a champ now. we then gutted the truck, i picked up a few new doors and fenders, and we started to make things right again... it'll get there, slowly but surely. a couple cell phone pics:

before:

I'm sure you know but I wouldn't skimp out and get HREW. After your experience I would def go with a DOM cage. Rig looks good even in its current state

cool, I'll be really interested in seeing it. This is getting bumped up in the list of must haves now that I'll be wheeling it with 2 kids in it.

Are you working on it down here is SLO or up in SAC?
