Yeah the tabs on it are from 05 Im thinking about trying to get the green sticker for the trails.

Definetly not runnable right now with the motor out

Funny though I bet some people around were I work on it wouldnt even be able to tell its not runnable even if they looked in the engine compartment. Bunch of snobs up there with there rice burners and BMW's and what not

The laws in the area claim my truck in its state a junk vehicle which well they can call it but when it runs could drive right through there house. Oh well they can think what they want. The local kids all love and I do have plenty of chill neighbors too

Thanks dude! Trust me Ive got my fears

Im am however prepared for the worst but try not to think about it cause I know anything can happen and when it does it does.

Rock on I shall !



Update:
As for the runner ive got alot of work done but don't have the pics loaded on the comp at the moment. Im still waiting to hear back about the new motor and look forward to getting it in my hands. When i get it, you shall all see whats been going on with it and I think your all gonna like the new changes. There pretty wild, but its gonna be sick

OK so this thread has been going on for some time now ad I first off would like to thank any and all of you for your input, support, and compliments. It means so much to me and I could not have done half the things I have without you all! So for that I thank you!

But now its time I begin another portion of the build so in order to continue my build I thought I should start the next chapter of it and continue with the next stages of my Offroad Machine in what I call "PART TWO" very creative yes I know

Lot of research, reading, talking to people online and in person. I have a friend whos really knowledgeable when it comes to all different things like cars, trucks, machining, ect. I picked up welding from buying one and practicing alot. Ive had a few pointers here and there for the welding. I learn best by seeing it done first then tackling it myself. Also just the love for it pushes me to learn as much as I can on the whole hobby and profession. Im now working for a machine shop with no previous schooling for the stuff but again friends, and research is my best asset. I owe alot of the help from people here on yotatech and I got a start into the world of 4x4 after meeting a few members out on the trails that ultimately got me way into it. Best word of advice as far as wanting to do this stuff to your rig or any rig it just the drive and passion for what you do. Take pride in your work and dont be afraid to ask questions (But definitely search into it first ) There is always so much more to learn!

Thanks dude!

Jealous isn't really my style but that 4Runner is really nice.

I would want to run bigger tires though

I can't afford anything like that. I have no connections so it would be even more expensive. Makes me sad thinking about it.
All my 4 wheeler friends that know their stuff and get their hook ups keep it to themselves. Share the wealth! lol.

Anyways... my future runner is looking like it's getting a 2inch lift with 33's. lame! with lame IFS. I wanna straight axle. lol.


I'm on the pity potty! WAH!

NICE 4RUNNER! I love it
