ToyoTech559's 1988 4Runner Build-Up Thread
#1341
Hi toyo, dang man your post on the snow pix had me for a sec. I was like OHHHH TOYO WENT SAS!!! lol but then saw the front bumper and figured it out. its still a nice rig though. I like how you use your 4runners rear bumper tire swing. that design was genius. like the unbrella idea.
Hey Not sure if you'll have any time but Mark and i are going to Big Bear for John Bull and Gold Mountain next thursday 8/14/14. If you have time to come it would be awesome to meet you and have you join us on the trip. I know you come from up north so we would probably have to meet actually in big bear. Let us know if youre interested in joining us dude. as of right now we have 4 rigs that i know of. Not sure if Mark has gotten more yet. still 4 should still make for a fun day.

So, I image search "1st gen 4runner" and your rig shows up in my feed. After a year of randomly image searching 1st gens I still think yours is the best looking 4runner to ever appear in my feed. Hell I even use it as an occasional screen saver!

So I havent been on here in a while. I quit toyota as a tech and moved on to a better job at Solar City. Pay is better and I love it. I been busy with work and building my tundra that I havent had time to really do much to the runner. I do have pictures for a few trips I done in the runner. without further to say. to the pictures!!
11.16.14 - NO snow run (normal have snow by now)







12.14.14 SNOW RUN (fresh powder and my friend broke trail till he broke a front leaf and we had to turn back)













Didnt want to waste any chance to play in the snow
Another SNOW RUN 12-21-14





ABOVE THE CLOUDS


Had to break in the NEW YEARS with a snow/ice run 1-1-15















Finally, I have spent alot of time working on my tundra and plan on going to MOAB in MAY for 4-5 day round trip
New Job has been paying well and I got Billy from Brute Force Fab who did my dual swing out on my Runner to Hook up my Tundra

thanks. I delay on painting the top because i wanted to wrap it in red camo but got lazy and it wasnt cheap to do. even if i did it myself
its charcoal gray, no black on my truck. even the rims are a dark gray which i need to redo to charcoal gray (color on backorder and i didnt want to wait) now i get to redo it lol

Been thinking of what I want to do to the runner. been thinking of doing a bracket lift with my current Long travel but I really like how low it sits. Mainly want a little more height for clearance and maybe move up to a 34 inch tire. gonna look at body lift ideas 1st and try to some what flat belly it. raise my engine and trans with the body lift. we will see i suppose
I been using and building my tundra so much that I only have so much $$ and time for each.
recent trip to Pismo

That time of year coming around again! Big Bear offroad trips will be coming soon! i'll keep you updated man. Already getting invites on instagram for calico ghost town. I dont know if i'll be able to make it because my first paycheck will most likely come after the trip. but i would love to go to a ghost town trail.
