What color, what color? hehe. I must know, lol. I sawa root beer brown one today, SO CLEAN! lol. Nice lift on that thing, btw. Was thinking about some OME T-bars, but not sure yet. Already have the 1.5" spacers and might go .5" on the T-bars I have now.
Anyway, looking good, Kid!

Really good job, Man! I'm impressed.... More pics when possible. Congratz, I know you've been wanting to get that done.
I'm workin on mine again,....yep, AGAIN! lol. Have it half torn down again. S'all good, I'll get everything sussed up, once and for all, ya know? Still... just have to add...... ''MY MACHINIST RAPED MY WALLET AND ALL I GOT WAS.....100'S OF HOURS OF MORE LABOR TO DO, FIXING IT ......TWICE!" hahaha. Guess the Cliche's and my Dad were right... "want something done right, .....do it yourself". Lesson learned.
How's the weather, man? I'm hitting Havasu in a couple weeks to visit pops...I HOPE.

so got the body done today, still have the top left, got a couple coats on the top but it needs more sanding to stick better.
so todays done list is;
body all sanded and painted 99.9% (its never done
)front bumper and sliders painted
cb wired
fan re-wired
hellas re-wired
front diff bolt is in

so at this point heres whats next on my list:
-repair passenger side corner (hack of passenger corner and jyard and weld on in place)
-bigger tires probably 31s or 32s
-cut my half doors
-cut my half top
-rear bumper
-roof rack and light bar (kept separate)
-lockers
oh and if anybody wants the roof rack rails in the other pictures PM me

Im going to start saving for something new. Hopefully already with a solid axle. Like evrrybody else, i want to find it on the cheap.
Me and the runner have been through a lot, some good, some bad. Mostly good though.

Holy Cow, ..yeah, amazing how heavy that can be, eh? lol. BEST WISHES ON THE HUNT, HOMIE! BTW, I've been seeing quite a few SFA's out here in LA, ...worth a thought, and maybe a drive out. Not always on the cheap, but some pretty reasonable. You looking specifically for a 4runner w/a/ SFA?
