I ordered the 4000's from Susquehanah last January. After seeing your thread, I ordered 3 sets of HID's from DDM Tuning. Two pair of 4.5k's for the (3)4000's and one set of 3k's for the factory fogs.

Thanks man, she should be a monster when finished.

Thats good to hear, thanks for the feedback.

There will be NO chrome left when I'm done!

 

Hahah dude I just SOLD my e36 m3 to fund my 4runner. I think you have good taste in cars ;D My budy just bought a decent 89 325is off craigslist for 500 bucks!!! Man was I jealous...

 

Finally got started this weekend on the lift. SS#1 is on, installed steering rack bushings, and went over the entire underside of the truck with SEM Rust-Seal. Heres how she sits tonight after I dropped her down off the jackstands. Definitely needs an alignment so I'll do that first thing in the morning. Overall, I would say the toughest part was installing the longer rear brakelines. What a bitch that was...



This is the pic I took after doing a small section to try it out. It comes out of the bottle looking like milk and dries to a very hard black coating. I did the frame rails, suspension components, rear axle, and anywhere on the underside of the body that looked like rust was starting. Surprisingly, there was very little surface rust and only at pinch welds back near the spare tire. I'll get some more shots of that tomorrow.





More pics tomorrow after I get it aligned. Chrome is going away shortly as well...

 

Dude, your 4Runner is definitely badass now! I love it!

 

Congrats, it looks great!

 

yes more pics, looking great

 

I read your whole thread over there on the bmw forum awsome car makes me want to get an older bmw.

i wish i d boxes of stuff waiting to be put on the truck

 

nice very nice

 

Thanks for the comments guys. I'll try to snap some pics of the truck tomorrow before work. Alignment is done and the truck rides great. Hats off to Steve for putting together a really nice kit that has excellent street manners.

I'm currently working on the inside of the truck with sound deadening and stereo stuff. I'll update this Sunday night.

 

Here's a few more. Disregard the chrome, that will be gone shortly. More updates next week...

 

Have you notice any power loss with going with 33's and how's the ride?

 

Nice nice nice nice
Looks great!!

 

looks amazing! what are you doing with the bumpers? are new ones going on there?

 

What he said!

 

niccceeeee. once you paint that chrome up or whatever your gonna do with it.. itll be BA. well. i guess i mean even more BA

 

looks super sexy, real nice looking, let us know how it performs off road, i am pretty much dead set on the sonoran steel setup

 

looks great, once you get the chrome bumpers and stuff off you should look into get the black LED tails and maybe the black headlights.

black 4runners always look great

 

Yup, you can notice a difference in terms of power but I was expecting that. Its not a big deal around town but you do notice it on the highway when you need to pass someone. Mileage is down about 2mpg right now but I also had the a/f sensor go bad the day I got the lift on. New sensor is in the mail.

As for the bumpers, I bought some Durabak for my BudBuilt skid plate and I was thinking of using that after scuffing the chrome. The grill and the rear license plate surround will be painted by a buddy.

Thanks for the comments.
