welcome to the club mR bob...finally! good to see you worked things out with dave. his truck looks killer. i love that blue colour...kinda glad you didnt get a black one ....then there would have been 3 black runners with LC wheels running around in the lower mainland! (my buddys got an 00 with LC wheels). how lame would that have been? lol

good job on the 4runner.... just one question... how come the orange side markers? most people like the clear look. i personally like the orange look, but i did it with LEDs. How did he orange the side markers?

edit: i just read the other thread about the orange corner lights... it all makes sense now... and yes, i want to see more pics of these when theyre on and youre all setup

Yup thats right, my runner is moving on to a new home. I hate to say I'm kind of sad about about selling my truck. I have had quite a few good memories with the runner. I'm glad that its going someone who appreciates what I've done and not to some soccer mom.

I must say say THANKS YOTATECH for setting up things up.

I really don't know what the replacement will be. Either a 4th gen or the new FJ. I'm moving back to Van in June and I need funds to buy a house. Cool thing is at least I can go offroading with Bob in my truck in its latest incarnation.

Well... what can I say... Dave and I have been working on this sale for a little while now... was just waiting for the right time to come....

I have one or two mods ready to go ... wink wink... and I went out today, and got a few more little fun toy$ too.... those I keep secret till I can get some pics of them installed....

I did order my clear corners so I will get my fully orange ones on there soon... And I emailed Steve today from SS about a TJM T-17 bumper, sliders, and the panhard drop bracket... we will see though....

Talk is all good, but Im sure you all are tired of my talk and no action.... soon friends...soon
