olivedrab's 87 runner

[kiyul4130]

here's a side profile

wow, that looks so awesome from the side. you should get a measurement from the ground to the top. that thing looks low for a 4 runner on 40s. nice job. id  just like to get an idea to compare the height against lilbuddys. his sits pretty low compared to his friends on 37s.

edit: oh ya by the way, whats your wheel bs? 3.5?

[Hyena]

sick Jerry.  do they rub the front firewall?  man, that dent on the driver door is very noticeable!  :0

[alwayzbroken]

Some of that plastic door edge molding may look decent on those cut fenders if you painted it orange.

Yea a little bit but I just pounded it back more and gained another inch.

not sure if it would stay on but not a bad idea

Your rig's looking ill brah!!  ...That looks like some fun wheelin' too.

[Gittinit]

  Nice job man that thing is sooo sweet.

[Ramrod]

that things looking quite beastly with the new meats, I was just watching amdf1 and 2 and its making me want to go wheeling so bad

[Hottrod81]

That rig has gone through quite a transformation.  It looks great.  Where did you get the from from for tubbing the rear fender wells.

[olivedrab85]

Thanks for the props guys. And Pat to bad you don't live a little closer I've been going out at least a couple times a week lately! The runner seems to be holding up good for now.

Thanks. Yea you should have seen this thing when I bought it for a g, huge transformation since then. I got the foam from napa it's some marine grade foam that I guess won't hold water, with the seam sealer on it should be weather tight.

[Yota4life]

Sense my flatbelly i have to seal up the new tranny tunnel and i have some good gaps to fill, i want it to be water tight. Im going to stop by napa and get that foam it will be perfect.

So since i've been working for GM for the last 4 years I figured it's time to get hooked up with a new tow vehicle. It's a 2006 crew that I got 6000 back on GM employee pricing. Fully loaded except leather. I just ordered my lift, tires, wheels, and gears for it they will be here on the 2nd of Jan. Merry X-mas to myself!

I love tow rigs.

[gotrocks]

Hey give us more specs on the tow rig.  I'm assuming you got the 6.0?  Also how big are you going on the lift.  I know the pice isnt' cheap but I thought you'd get a diesel.

It's an 06 crew 5.3 pwr everything, heated signal mirrors, drivers info center, sunroof, xm, , onstar, Z71. It's getting a 6 in with 35 toyos on 18's. They're putting in 4.56's at my work right now to replace the 3.42's. I really like the short crew and you can't get it in a diesel and I would have had to get a more stripped down version. I don't tow all that much so for what I do it will be fine.

[gotrocks]

   way to go man.  It's gonna look really nice with the lift and new tires on it.  I have Toyo MT's on my truck and I love them.

browsing the round up stuff. here your pile in the background later

sweet.....

[olivedrab85]

Nice doing it up real big at the con. I can't wait till next summer, I'm already sick of my top and doors being on.

[Fearofrunner]
