Utimate 3rd gen?
Here is a good question I think... what would make up the ultimate 3rd gen runner??
I have been thinking and thinking about this, and have come up with what I think makes the ultimate 3rd gen: Starting point: Any year, 96-02, Im not picky about this one.... has to be a 3.4L has to be a 5 speed and has to have an E locker, 4.30 gears prefer.... In either Black, Green, or stellar blue Mod list: Engine: SC kit and all the goodies that make it work properly and safe for the engine Headers and 2.5" exhaust system CAI Suspension: Ultimate, SAS and enough lift to clear 35s.... Gears front and rear ( 4.88s ) and a front locker Second to that, Tundra coils and 2 top up spacers for front, FZJ-80 coils for rear, OME shocks, 1" - 2" BL to fit aprox 285/75/R16 sized tires on FZJ-80 rims, drop panhard bar, 1" diff drop, taco manual locking hub swap, Aussie locker in front. Also tundra brakes up front. Exterior: TJM T17 bumper winch Sliders 99+ headlights 01+ tail lights Clear corners Satoshi mod Hood scoop Hilux Surf emblem Interior: Good quality sound system, nice deck, great speakers all run off an amp, and a 10" sub. GPS I think that sums it up for me.... So what do you guys think "makes" the ultimate 3rd gen??? Cheers Bob |
Filthyrich's rig is the ultimate 3rd gen...closely followed my mine..HAHAHA :roll:
|
to each his own.

If you want the stick it has to be 96-00, In '01 they stopped putting in the 5 speed. And I would check out SteveO's rig, the craziest I have seen so far.

Mr. Bob, sell all your parts and buy my truck.
Simple as pie :great: |

Eric's is not far behind. You should just buy Eric's b/c by the time you make your own ultimate 3rd gen, you would have spent way more than Eric's asking price. |
saw this guy's (greg is his name i think) black 3rd gen, and i just about creamed. not sure if he is/was on this board, but his rig is insane. lotsa goodies put into this thing. apparently he sold it to some guy...lucky bastard i think his name was heh.

I've got the same bentup rear bumper, but with hitch...
Steve's, Andy's, and Eric's are all awesome rigs! |
I believe the guy above, Greg, was banned from this forum for being a piece of ˟˟˟˟˟. All I can say is that if I run into him on the trail I'm going to beat his a$$. Sorry ahout the hijack but those pics reminded me of him and I had to vent.
My only new years resolution for '06 was to finish up my 4Runner, then I'll have the ultimate 3rd gen.........just kidding ;) |
Well all the solid axle 3rd gens are pretty gnarly...
www.sonoransteel.com and www.hunt4steve.com and cubuffs is awesome! http://community.webshots.com/user/marck231 then there is another guy on Pirate with another green SA rig which has full coil-over rear. |
i don't think there exists a 3rd gen currently that'd i'd call ultimate. but there are some nice ones with elements of such a rig. i'm talking black, sc 3.4, crawler, coilover sas, black beadlocked 37 mtrs, flat belly, double locked, diamond axle housings with some beefy shafts, internal roll cage, tundra brakes, satoshi'd , lightforce 240s, winched t15, etc.... that gives you an idea of my current "ultimate" 3rd gen
