********Edited 8/17/10

The silver 4runner below was sold to start a different project which is now the current build. I have added the cliff notes of the new build below at the end of this post. ******

So, BigJohn ended up buying this 2000 4runner Sport 4x4. A/T, 132K, 3" OME lift with the Heavies front and rear, 265s. Millennium Silver with gray interior. E-locker.



I ended up buying the rig listed below to start a full blown dream rig build of my own. The beginning of this thread will list the mods done to the silver one above before selling it to John. The new build will start on post# 166 which is page 7 for me.

lol! Don't you HAVE enough projects now??


It'll be interesting buildup!! Can't wait!!!!

 

Nice !!!

Cant wait to see the plate bumper !!

Oh, Phoenix sucks right now, its almost like hell

 

I'm flying in EARLY. LOL

 

Actually I don't have any except bumpers anymore.

4runner and Land Cruiser are spoken for.

 

finally your making a 3rd gen bumper!!!
why did you choose a plate style over a tube style?

 

It will be a combo of the two.

It will still have the same lines and design I usually give to them.

 

OHH !!!

Sorta like the Allpro Hybrid ?

I hope they'll fit tacos too

 

No. Can't say I like that very much. And I used to work there............................

 

Oh, Well Ill take the picture out cause I always seem to fubar your threads

 

Nice! I have been waiting for someone else to offer a 3rd gen style bumper!

Will be watching this closely.

 

Awesome! I love the front bumper i bought from you for my 85 pickup. Ill be looking for a set of bumpers for my 96 runner soon and cant wait to see how these turn out!

 

It doesn't matter what time you get here, its gonna be HOT! I was 94 degrees at 2am the other day and it was 91 when I got up this morning at 6am!!

 

Subscribed to watch the bumper build as I'm looking at 3rd gen bumpers now.

 

Well, I am currently in a Super8 motel in Pueblo, CO with the new 4runner. Drove it from Phoenix today. Smooth as silk on the hwy. I just already hate that stupid 70% overdrive the A340 has.

I am going to run 5.29s with some 33s just to get the OD into a better power band.

Oh, and I now have some stock 2000 Millenium Silver running boards for sale for local pickup. CHEAP!

 

how bout some tube doors for it also! or at least seeing if the taco doors fit it!
