Bumper, I want! Wicked pics! Keep em coming if you got more! This can be the official 3rd Gen 4Runner pic thread!

[RedApe]

That is HAWT!

[Doc McCoy]

Hey Nathan ... are those the 240 Lightforce lights? If they fit in the 4runner ARB, then it stands to reason that they will fit in mine.

[freeze]

Yeah the Blitz's though. Not the new ones. They Blitz's have the goose neck on them so they can fit the ARB's I believe.

I just sent the link to Meghan!... she's been looking for either this gen 4Runner or an 80 Series!

[RiceFarmer]

Tell her to go with the 4Runner, easier to maintain and much lighter! Haha

My next contribution. Taken from T4R.org

BTW, If someone can take this type of shot with their camera of my Runner like this, please PM me!

[RedApe]

I think a photo editing SW suite can put the "chrome" effect (and others) on any pic.

BTW, If someone can take this type of shot with their camera of my Runner like this, please PM me!

It's HDR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging). There is lots of good information if you google it. You don't need a special camera, just maybe a tripod or something to lay your camera on so you can take three pictures. Photoshop can do the rest.

[FJeff Cruiser]

Hey Victor, I can make an HRD/ToneMapped image of your Runner. I'll be at Peter's on the 7th and if your there, we can chat about setting something up.

Here's a link to the HDR section in my Gallery.

[RiceFarmer]

Jeff Moss, I will be there! I can certainly put the winter wheels off a week for this!

[FJeff Cruiser]

Cool, see you at Peter's then.

[Brazenhead]

Is that one SAS'd? I see warn hubs...

[Brazenhead]

I don't think so Nathan. Here's a short write up that was posted on it's for sale thread back in 08' and a link to the original thread.


2003 Supercharged Toyota 4Runner. This truck was modified to a utility/truck back. The vehicle has never been in an accident and was modified in order to create something totally different.I am the original owner.

Factory advantages of the 4Runner are:

*Smaller sized SUV that is easily maneuverable on and off road
*Toyota reliability
*Full time 4WD
*Factory power sun/moon roof
*Homelink system
*4.7L V8 provides plenty of power and torque.
*XReas suspension package creates a handling package that is unequaled by any other SUV in the market. If you've ever driven a Runner with XReas, you know this vehicle handles like a sports car

Custom additions to this truck:

*Rear was professionally cut into a ute back and the spare tire carrier was incorporated into the tail gate. The carrier tilts down to allow better access to the bed and tire.
*Rear winch installed underneath the truck controls the carrier and the cable is easily removed for winching purposes.
*Revtek suspension lift
*4 inch body lift was installed on the truck to allow for the larger tires without rubbing (even under full stuff).
*Kenwood CD/DVD/Sirius player with an integrated back up camera. The sound system is also custom and comes with a subwoofer and amp.
*After market bumpers and sliders.
*TRD Supercharger
*Safari Snorkel
*Mirror lights
*HID conversion
*ARB rear lockers and an ARB compressor
*2 Optima Yellow Tops, 1 to run the winch/tire carrier. Theres an easy jumper site in the event the main battery is flat that would allow athe truck to start off the rear battery.
*OEM Toyota driving lights (no longer available)
*Power sliding rear window
*The seats were recovered with a catskin type leather with the TEQ emblem into them. (TEQ = Toyota in Kanji)
*35/14.5/R20 Nitto Mud Grappler's (6 total)
*20" charcoal powder coated Enkei wheels (5)

I'm wondering if they're just a centre cap that looks similar to a warn hub. Pretty crazy build! Thanks for the additional info!

[freeze]

Funny looking back at this thread.... I think Victor pretty much has that 4Runner that was posted as the first pict minus the tent! :D

[Reeeno403]

Yeah but his looks even better! Sweet to see how far some builds have progressed

[--weezl--]

i was just going to say, i think Vic's has more work and looks more aggressive than the one in the first post!

[RiceFarmer]

Thanks Ryan and James for the encouraging words! Really though, it probably wouldn't look the way it does without the help of a few people on here that we know! Funny thing with that 4Runner, it had what I wanted on it...Refer to my response post on page 1. I forgot about it until now, and just realized I pretty much the same mods on the front sans winch! How original of me hey?:D

[City_Rider]

Got them LC coils in yet? I wanna see our rigs next to each other when mine is road worthy.

Which will be soon! I swear!
