IMO you should have kept the runner cause you built it and no everything about it.

but definately a sweet TACO

Yeah but theres really nothing I dont know about this truck now and my 4runner really wasnt THAT built. It really only had duals, 37s and xover/hysteer.

I know Brian! Im hella stoked. This things got a lot of potential. Im sure when my mom and dad woke up this morning and went to work they probably looked at it and shat themselves because of the way it is on the interior and whatnot.

Oh well I see potential in things.

Im gonna go work on it

Pretty sweet rig Lilbuddy!

Looks like it's got a clean slate for some sweet custom bumpers...

TacoRunner · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 19, 2007, 09:31:29 AM »

Maybe I missed something but, how is the interior?

TacoRunner · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 19, 2007, 09:32:35 AM »

I kind of like the olive drab. Army look, you should leave it.

THK Matt · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 19, 2007, 09:39:31 AM »

i dig the color to, redo that color on it.

yota_krawler · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 19, 2007, 10:00:37 AM »

What interior???

Haha there is none. He has most of the pieces he gave me but it still needs some stuff to be 100%. Right now id put the interior at 50. Dash is there and all gauges work and everything its just carpet back seats all panels and everything are non existant.

Im almost thinking of even fixing it all up and selling it again cause the profit would be pretty good.
