Well it's time to start a new project and start the build thread for it. Thanks to @mavericktrd for selling me is pristine 3rd gen limited 4runner. It's a 97 and has 160k miles. First thing I did was rename her. Everyone say hello to Pirate Mary. She is a drinker and one tough bitch she runs the whore house. 20190609_133015.jpg
Here is our 08 that is the white truck and the other money hole. 20170903_233430.jpg
And here is my old 11 that I totaled. Wife got most of my parts. 20161231_100803.jpg
New plan is to actually build a offroad rig compared to another glorified camper since we already have that. So this is the start.

Ok so currently just doing fluids and regular maintenance so I have it on my schedule. Going to rip all the seats out and actually do a deep clean soon. Ordered all new stereo stuff last night. Also got a sub and amp from my buddy. Need to build a box tho. Need to order the new antenna assembly tomorrow as the motor and antenna are broken. I ordered tint at 20%. Will install myself. (I will see how that goes) I'm going to make my own sliders as soon as I get 220v in my garage. And got a 3/4 cab rack for her to boost storage capabilities. That's it for now.

Update 8/6/19
I been working with putting a new stereo in and speakers. Dont have pics of the install cause I was to fed up and drunk previously. If you have questions let me know. But stereo shit is a pain in the ass to me. Well after going thru multiple threads and google on wiring I got the stereo wired up correctly but was still only getting intermittent sound out of just passenger front and light sound out of the rear. Stereo wouldnt actually start making any sound till I was about 2 miles from my house. And had problems pairing with my phone. I double checked wiring again still what I thought was correct so i double checked with a local stereo buddy and it was correct so bad head unit. Doesnt happen to often and called them to walk thru trouble shooting. They ended up sending me a new one. Got it all rewired up today. And started working right away. Was still having problems with getting sound out of all the speakers correctly tho. So I hit google again and decided to remove the factory amp and rewire. Boom sound problem solved all speakers have correct sound. I also ditched the automatic antenna and did the shorty TRD one. 20190806_190302.jpg

PSA: Replace your LBJ bolts. Check the trail canrage thread for further details. lol

Mines a 97 also. You going to go dual cased?
Yeah that's all coming soon. Very soon rather than later.

And ps thanks for the parts. Because of you I was able to get the rack on and the rtt on which made camping possible last weekend with the wife.(she must have the rtt)

Well here is this weekends fun. New suspension going on. 20190825_114858.jpg
Took out the lca's aswell and cleaned all the bushings up and regreased.20190825_120651.jpg
And passenger side is all put back together.20190825_140546.jpg
But now I'm hung up on the other side. Sleeve for the lca bolt is seized or something so I cant get the control arm out of the perches and I'm going to cut it out. But downside of mountain living is no one up here sells it so order on line or hopefully Mike can find one in the valley tomorrow and bring it up with him. So I'm currently dead in the water. But brightside ribs are almost done.

You should ditch the drop bracket while you are in there.
Would love to. But until we get another vehicle the taco cant stay down that long. Plus I want to take the 4runner to a sas so I dont have 20k to sas both. Wife likes the db lift so it will stau

Damn that’s crazy I never would have thought polys would possibly seize.
